Mon Cheri card kit peek

On January 7th (at 9pm EST) we are releasing another card kit!

Our kits have been well received in the past, but this time, we changed things up a bit!

With the release of the Be Mine paper collection from Echo Park... I just could NOT decide which papers to get for the kit! And since I placed the order well in advance to ensure we had all the papers i wanted, I decided, ya know what... LETS GET EM ALL! So this card kit has 22 sheets of 6x6 patterned paper! Along with many other goodies and some exclusive to the kit stamps!

check it out!

Included in the kit:

22 sheets of 6x6 double sided patterned paper

8 sheets of 8.5 x 11 coordinating cardstock

1 Fairy Stamp named Cheri

4 French sentiment stamps

5 Pre Printed tags (will vary with each card kit)

4 yards of coordinating ribbon

Set of Headpins and Beads (not all shown in photo)

Glitter Flowers with rhinestone centers (not all shown in photo)

And now... here are some adorable samples from some of the senior design team members using the Mon Cheri Card Kit!

For this release we are going to give the ENTIRE release away to 1 lucky stamper! Leave a comment on all of the sneak peek posts (only 1 comment per post will count) and you will earn yourself an entry in the drawing. The winner will be drawn at our release party on January 7th. The party is from 9-11 EST in our FORUM and we would love for you to join us!

Unfortunately, our plans to start shipping orders of this kit TODAY are not feasible as we had a delay from our manufacturer. The quality of our deeply etched red rubber stamps is our highest priority and for this reason we can not begin shipping these orders yet, but as soon as we are able to ship them, we will make sure that everyone knows! If you are just ITCY to get this card kit, you can purchase it with digital stamp images as a discounted price HERE.

If you would still like to order the kit at the full price, and have your rubber stamp shipped to you once we have them in stock (we are hopeful they will arrive this next week) then you can purchase the kit HERE at the normal $20/$23 on ez mount.

And now for some samples of the kit being used! Check out what the following 3 paper makeup artists have created using this kit!!!

Catching some rays with day dreaming...

Hello Everyone! We have another fabulous sample of the brand spankin' new "makeup" card kit, The Will to Daydream!

Check out the fantastic card that senior Paper Makeup Artist, Lisa Kind created!

I adore how she put him on a beach towel using one of the other patterned papers in the kit! Sheer genius!

Now if you've been paying attention this week you've seen some other fun samples using this kit, but just in case you havent... you may want the 411! Every so often, PMS releases a card kit called a "makeup kit". The kit creates 8-16 cards depending on your card style, and even then you might have some leftovers. The kits include top notch quality items in current colors and trends and of course, coordinates with all the items in the kit perfectly. There are also exclusive stamps included in the kit! What does that mean? It means the stamps are not available for purchase on their own in the store, and won't be so long as their are kits available to purchase. The stamps MAY be released at a later date, but then they may not. So if you are loving the stamps, you should get the kit! The kit is priced UNDER retail value AND you get a $5 voucher good towards a future purchase! So there's nothing to loose!

You can purchase the kit HERE!

If you have missed some samples made with the kit... scroll down to previous posts from this week!

Happy Friday!  Hope you all had a great week and have some fabulous plans for the weekend.  Today my card pulls double duty, it's my showoff of the new The Will to Day Dream kit (in the PMS Store now!), and it's also my sample for this weeks Makeup 4 the Weekend challenge.  This week's challenge is from Andrea Vernagus, and she's challenged us to use graph or notebook paper (must be the engineer in her, lol!).  Here is my take, everything EXCEPT the graph paper and the twine is from the new kit.  Visit this post to see a list of the kit contents, or go here to buy the kit.  There are more details on my blog, here.

It's a beautiful day for a new Makeup Card Kit!

Hello everyone! Well.... we have a new release for you!

Thats right, it's not the 7th, but we have a release! A new Makeup Card Kit!

Our last kit, Celestial Possibilities was a big hit (but there ARE a few left, so go snag one before it's gone!)

Our latest kit is called The Will to Day Dream and features 3 never before released stamps! A fairy named Will, a fun wordart and a sweet thinking about you sentiment.

As with our first kit, these stamps have been released in the kit only. We may or may not release them at a later date, but they wont be released so long as the kit is available for purchase.

So what other goodies can you find in this kit? LOTS!! And this kit is great to pair with other stamps too... just perfect for all things summer!

Also included in the kit...

* Eight 6x6 sheets of double sided patterned cardstock from American Crafts

* Four .5 x 6 inch decorative strips (ok, so they really kinda come with the paper, but they are über cute and worth mentioning on their own!!!)

* Two 6x6 sheets of specialty embossed cardstock from KI Memories (with a cute dogwood image embossed right into the cardstock!)

* Eight 8.5 x 11 Sheets of Bazzill Smoothies Cardstock - Ocean Breeze, Tangelo Blast, Carob Cream and Cherry Splash - YUM!

* Twelve glorious glittered paper flowers from American Crafts, all different!

*An assortment of coordinating buttons in all shapes and sizes (including some polka dot and glitter ones!)

* Ribbons! You'll get 1 yard each of a sheer turquoise with brown polka dots and a yellow grosgrain as well 3/4 yd of a fabulous 1 1/2 inch wide chocolate linen ribbon thats to die for!

* A Pack of Kaisercraft Pearls in a lushious lemon shade!

* a $5 voucher off your next purchase of $20 or more! (cannot be combined with other vouchers or reward points)

Such a sweet and fun summer card kit right?! This kit has more than enough supplies to make 8-16 cards depending on your card making style and how many layers you like to put on it!

Not to mention the fact that you get 3 fabby stamps to keep after your kit contents are all used up! But here's the biggest catch! We have a limited number of these on hand! Once they are sold out, they are gone! Get them while ya can!

Ok, so I can't leave ya without at least 1 card to show ya!

Here's a card I made the other day...

Check back in for more samples of this kit from the Paper Makeup Artists!

Have a sunshiney day!

So get it while you can!

Now for the next 5 days, the senior Paper Makeup Artists are going to be showing you

what you can do with products in this kit!

Today it my turn! (you can see more details and other pictures on my blog)

Oh how i love what's in this kit, and I havent even gotten to use it all yet!

My favorite (aside from the stamps!) is that oh so yummy velvet ric rac ribbon!

Isn't it just to die for! Next up is the paper. It's just thick enough! Not too flimsy, double sided and just beautiful! But it's also not so thick that you just feel like your card is going to fall over if you put more than 1 layer on it! And then third, those epoxy brads. I dont often buy epoxy brads because they tend to be pricy. But i just couldnt help but include them in this kit!

They are from the same collection as the paper so of course they match it perfectly.

And they are just stunning on a card!

Are you ready to purchase this kit yet?

If so, check it out HERE!
