One of the things I absolutely love about Stampin’ Up! is that every month we’re treated to at least two brand-new all-inclusive kits. Whether you’re brand new to paper crafting, looking for a relaxing afternoon project, or searching for a thoughtful gift, there’s usually something to tempt you.
This month’s new releases couldn’t be more different… and I have to say, I think they’ve both hit the mark!
🌼 Daisy Days Scrapbooking Kit – $53 AUD
Now here’s something a little different!
This month Stampin’ Up! has released a scrapbooking album kit, and I think it’s a fabulous idea.
The Daisy Days Kit creates a gorgeous keepsake album measuring approximately 7¾” x 7¾”, complete with 28 pages ready for your favourite memories. Each page measures approximately 6½” x 6″, making it the perfect size for smaller photos, journalling and those little keepsakes you don’t want tucked away in a drawer.
The colour palette is pure happiness with Blueberry Bushel, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger. It just evokes sunshine, holidays and happy memories!
Everything you need is included:
🌼 Step-by-step instructions
🌼 Pre-cut images and sentiments
🌼 Journalling pieces and printed pockets
🌼 Acetate sheets
🌼 Photo-safe adhesive
Simply add your photos and start creating.
Here’s another idea…
Not into scrapbooking?
My mind immediately wandered to all the other possibilities. Imagine turning this into a family recipe album, complete with treasured recipes and photos of the finished dishes (don’t worry… MasterChef presentation definitely isn’t required! 😂).
It would make a beautiful gift for a son or daughter leaving home, a newly married couple, or even a grandchild heading off to university. They could continue adding favourite recipes and family traditions for years to come.
The sentiments are also printed in English, French and German, so if you’ve travelled overseas—or dream of travelling one day—you could even give your album an international flavour.
🎨 Gilded Gallery Kit – $44 AUD
Stampin’ Up! describes these as “cards so beautiful they belong on the wall.“ I’m not sure I’d actually frame them… but I do have to admit they’re lovely!
Think soft hydrangea and coral tones, delicate watercolour florals, sweet little birds, elegant gold foil details and gorgeous layered frames. Every card has a real fine-art feel without you needing to do all the hard work.
The Gilded Gallery kit makes 10 beautiful cards (five each of two designs), so it’s perfect to share with a crafty friend—or keep them all for yourself. I certainly wouldn’t judge!
The colour combination is simply gorgeous:
Blackberry Bliss, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow, Gold, Gray Granite, Hydrangea Hue, Misty Moonlight, Peaceful Pine and Pecan Pie.
Everything you need is included:
✨ Exclusive Gilded Gallery Stamp Set
✨ Clear acrylic block
✨ Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Spot
✨ Step-by-step instructions
✨ Coordinating printed envelopes
✨ Adhesive
Open the box… pop the kettle on… and enjoy a relaxing afternoon of crafting.
Which One Would I Choose?
Honestly… I think I’d struggle to choose!
The Daisy Days Kit is something new for Stampin’ Up! I love the idea of turning this album into a treasured family recipe book that can be passed down through the generations.
But those elegant florals, birds and gold accents in the Gilded Gallery Kit are absolutely give off vintage vibes. That appeals to my style too.
Which one would you choose? I’d love to hear!
📦 Before You Go… Don’t Forget Paper Pumpkin!
If you love the convenience of all-inclusive kits, don’t forget there’s still time to subscribe to July’s Paper Pumpkin! Just make sure your subscription is in place by 10 July.
One of the things I really love about Paper Pumpkin is that subscribers have exclusive access to refill kits (while supplies last). This makes it easy to create even more projects using your favourite designs.
Another huge bonus? Postage is already included in the $48 AUD monthly subscription. In my experience the kits arrive within days of their release otherwise the 11th.
July Is Full of Goodies!
July is certainly spoiling us! Along with these fabulous new kits, we welcomed a gorgeous new Product of the Month and brand-new Online Exclusives. (I spy some Halloween and Christmas Goodies in today’s release.)
If you’re placing an order this month, don’t forget you may be able to take your order over the $125 AUD qualifying amount and add the beautiful Begonia Belle Stamp Set to your order for just $9 AUD while supplies last.
Honestly… my wish list seems to be growing by the minute!
Until next time… happy creating!
