Tippin' on Tuesday - Customizing Your Kits Using the Watercolor Christmas Kit

 Are you one of those stampers who thinks "no, kits aren't for me - they are too basic"?  Well, today's video and post is all about customizing your kit so you don't have basic cards.  Pull from your existing craft supplies or use up some of those embellishments that you have been hoarding.  Come on, I know you have been hanging onto them!

Here is a sampling of the cards that I made using the kit and some coordinating products that I had on hand.  I did pull from various stamp sets for the inside sentiments to mix them up a bit but you can just use the one included with the Watercolor Christmas stamp set.  I even used the left over pieces from the kit to stamp and punch out the bows and berries where needed.  There is so much more that you can do with these kits - give it a try!   Take a look at the video to see all of the things that I do with the envelope liners!
