make it market kit: don't forget to write...

Good Saturday morning!  I've been so excited to share my projects with you using the brand new, and completely irresistible, Make it Market Kit:  Don't Forget to Write from Papertrey Ink.

I can't begin to tell you how much I love this kit....I feel like Betsy read my mind when she put all of the contents together and designed the paper and images.  All of the important details regarding this kit will be at the end of this post, but for now, here are a few projects I made using this kit.

My first project is a stationery set, tucked in the box included with the kit.  I created smaller note cards using the darling scallop card die included in the kit, and topped with die cuts, stamped images, and pre-printed images and paper from the kit.  I embellished the top of my box using the stencils from the kit, and more lovely die cuts, stamps, etc.  The buttons and chevron ribbon are from my own stash.

Here's a peek at the inside.  I love the pink pen included:).  I tucked in sticker labels to seal each envelope, and embellished my envelopes using sticker address labels, dies, etc.  I added polka dot tulle from my own stash to wrap around my items and added washi, baker's twine, seam binding, and a clip....all from my own stash and not included in the kit.

This size of notecard is so darling and unique...perfect for sharing with someone special.  And, the shimmery envelopes just send each card over the top, as they add a touch of shine.

On the other side of my box, I included larger notecards, embellished with more patterned paper, die-cuts, stamps, and pre-printed images.  

I love the selection of colors of shimmer envelopes included in the kit...so fun, and will look so fun arriving in your mailbox.

This stationery set was my most favorite project to create using my Papertrey Ink products, to date!  You'll have so much fun with it as well :).

Next up is a card I created using different colors of supplies found in the kit.  I just love the soft lavender and aqua mixed together.

The large dies used in this kit are my favorite thing to use as focal points on my projects.  I like to cut out a window and nestle my sentiment sticker or stamped sentiment inside.

Lastly, my tags were created using only stamps, paper, and dies found in this set.  Betsy designed some of the most beautiful florals stamps, and they can be multi-step, or as simple as two-step, depending on how detailed you'd like your images.

I love the word dies in the beautiful font Betsy has chosen, and using them to build your sentiment is such a fun way to create.

The possibilities are truly endless and this kit is unforgettable and completely enjoyable.  It brought a smile to my face as I was creating and I have more ideas swirling.  Details are listed below for you.  Happy shopping!

The next Make It Market Kit will be released on May 1st and it is entitled "Don't Forget to Write". There is nothing quite like that feeling when you open your mailbox and experience opening a handwritten letter from a loved one. With this kit you can create beautiful letter-writing necessities for yourself or as a gift. There is a shaped notecard die, monogram stencils, pretty label stickers and envelope seals, gorgeous envelopes and SO much more!
