Stampin' Up! is outdoing themselves this month with special offers.  Besides the Birthday Party promotion on stamp sets I wrote about in this post, Stampin' Up! is offering a special discount on our Simply Sent Kits on pages 176-177 of the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog.  During the week of October 4-11, in honor of World Card Making Day on October 4, you will be able to purchase any of these Card Elements or Card Kits for 20% off!  These kits are just great for beginning stampers who might not have a lot of supplies yet or even for experienced stampers as well who like the idea of everything right there in a kit.  I have given a couple of these as gifts and the recipients seemed to enjoy them even with no stamping experience. 

Here are some cards I made with the Flower Power Card Elements kit.  I also shared a portion of the kit with my stamp camp attendees last weekend so they could make an easy card for World Card Making Day.  You can see that with the ideas Stampin' Up! gives you in the kit you can jump off from there and start making your own designs.

If you are interested in any of these Simply Sent Kits, don't miss the window of opportunity the week of October 4-11 to purchase these at 20% off.  Contact me or try the new online ordering from my website at www.KarenFontinelle.stampinup.net.  Just click on the Shop Now button in the upper right corner.
