The Fun and Games collection begins shipping today, and we're excited for you to get your hands on this oft-requested, winning theme!
I took a a mini vacation during our typical live unboxing timeframe, so I filmed the spoiler in advance of my departure. If you haven't had a chance to view the video, check it out while you wait for your kit to arrive.
We gathered a gorgeous paper palette this month in spite of paper supply chain constraints. I am particularly grateful to Craig, our purchasing manager, who has been vigilant in staying ahead of the curve balls in the industry. Just look at these pretty papers!
A Note from Tricia
Got your calendar handy? If so, take a note of two special events we're planning for this month. First up, I'm presenting a 5x7" Wiper Card recipe this week Saturday (February 5) on the One of a Kind Facebook Group. Learn more about the project and what to have on hand on the blog.
Next, I'll be showcasing a fun handmade book that can be made with ANY Club Scrap page kit along with a few other supplies. Tune in on the VOLUME Facebook Group or YouTube channel on February 18-19 to watch this project in action. We'll have a 45 minute time slot, but the video will be available anytime after the original air time. (We'll have our official time assigned soon, so watch for the schedule.) Get your supply list on the blog.
As you can see, these projects feature January's "What's Up, Buttercup" kit. Check out how cool the Memento Holder turned out when made with the Fun and Games collection!
Due to the ever-changing landscape surrounding public gatherings, we currently have just one official expo on our schedule for 2022. We hope to see many of you at the Great Lakes Mega Meet in Novi, MI, on May 5-7. We'll also continue our sponsorship of the Scrapbooking Retreat at Silver Birch Ranch in White Lake, WI, on November 10-13. And, of course we'll continue offering online project workshops, as well!
What's Ahead?
If you've had a vacation to a sunny place, or if you're about to enjoy one in the future, the March kit is coming for you! The Under the Sea collection will be the perfect traveling companion for days at the pool, the beach, and on the water. You'll want to "get cracken" the minute the kit lands on your doorstep!
Fonts and Inks
Download the fun 'n funky retro font called Windsor if you aim to create custom page titles or sentiments to coordinate with Jac's artwork. And if you're a stamper, you'll be happy with just a few basic CS® Inks to match the kit colors: Red, Earth, India Black and White Pigment. Stay tuned to the blog to check out how Karen used the stamps and inks to create an awesome batch of cards!
Fun and Games Page Kit
The goodie line-up this month is one of our best! We settled on an actual game spinner, flattened bottle caps, sparkling "game pieces," bronze charms, and beautiful ribbons. Take a few moments to watch the page kit workshop video to learn more about how to incorporate the elements easily. I've added those handy chapter bookmarks so you can quickly find what you're looking for.
Fun and Games Card Kit
Level up your card making skills with the Fun and Games card kit! Follow along with me to trim twelve sheets of 12x12 paper into four cards each of three unique styles. All of the goodies and art needed to embellish the cards are included with the kit, as well as the envelopes to pop them in the mail. My favorite card structure is this interesting double Z fold structure. You're going to love it!
Fun and Games Stamps
Take these exciting stamps for a spin! You'll find the fun "badge" style artwork versatile enough for anyone on your card list, including kings and queens.
We hope you love this kit to pieces! Be sure to show us what you make once your kit arrives and you get a moment to play.
