Do you ever feel like crafting, but you really don’t want to have to think about what to make?

I definitely have those days! Sometimes I just want to sit down, follow the instructions and enjoy creating without having to come up with the design myself.

That’s one of the things I love about the Floral Promenade Kit from Stampin’ Up!®. Everything you need to make the projects is together in the kit, and the designs are already worked out for you.

I made all eight cards from the kit, with four cards each of two different designs, and they came together so easily.

Wishing You Comfort Card

The first design has beautiful watercolour-style flowers surrounding the large “Wishing You Comfort” sentiment. I love the combination of the pinks and purples against the Kraft panel, and the little embellishments add a lovely finishing touch.

This is such a thoughtful sentiment to have amongst your cards. Sometimes we need a card that simply lets someone know we’re thinking about them when words can be difficult to find.

Know That You Are Loved Card

The second design features another beautiful floral arrangement, this time with pink and yellow flowers layered over a white panel and Kraft card base.

The “Know That You Are Loved” sentiment is wonderful. Sending a handmade card is such a simple way of reminding someone that they’re in your thoughts, and I love having cards like this ready to send when they're needed.

A Lovely Kit for Beginner Card Making

If you’re completely new to card making, an all-inclusive kit can be a great place to begin because you don’t need to work out which supplies you need before you can start.

The Floral Promenade Kit makes eight cards, four of each design, and includes:

• Floral Promenade Stamp Set
• Clear stamp block
• Barely Blush Premium Stampin’ Spot
• 8 envelopes
• Precut paper pieces and embellishments
• Adhesive
• Step-by-step instructions

You even get to do a little stamping, so it’s a lovely introduction if you’ve never stamped before.

But kits certainly aren’t only for beginners! They’re also wonderful when you’ve lost your creative mojo, you’re short on time, you don’t have much room to craft, or you simply want someone else to make the creative decisions for you.

There are definitely days when I’m very happy for Stampin’ Up! to tell me exactly what to do. 😂

My Little Addition to the Floral Promenade Kit

I followed the two card designs in the kit, but you know I had to add just a little something extra!

I added Wink of Stella to the flowers for some beautiful shimmer. It’s completely optional and isn’t needed to make the cards, but I really loved that little extra sparkle on the finished projects.

One of the great things about starting with a kit is that you can make everything exactly as shown, or gradually start adding supplies from your own crafting collection as your confidence grows.

Make All 8 Cards Along With Me

I filmed the whole process and made all eight Floral Promenade cards with you in my video. I take you through the kit, the stamping and putting both designs together step by step.

So, if you’re new to card making, or you simply fancy some relaxing crafting where the designing has already been done for you, grab a cuppa and come and craft along with me.
