Craft Box Challenge: Card Making with Limited Supplies

1/8/2021

0 Comments

 
I am starting a new Craft Box Challenge video series. I've put together a few basic supplies for card making and put them in a box. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to make at least 8-10 cards (probably more!). Today is the first installment of the series where I introduce the contents of the box and make my first card. 
In this Craft Box Challenge, learn to make cards with limited supplies.

Why do a Craft Box Challenge?

I know that sometimes when you see me craft that it appears that I have all the things. I have a shelf full of stamps, a drawer full of paper, all the inks, and lots of embellishments. If you're new to card making, that can feel a little overwhelming. So, part of the reason for the challenge is to show you ideas for creating cards when you're just starting and might only have a stamp set, a couple of ink pads, and some paper. 
The other reason is that I just really love a good challenge! I hope that having to use a very limited amount of supplies will really push me to see what else I can do with the supplies that I have available.

The supplies in the box

Before I talk about the supplies that I placed in the box, I want to take a moment to talk about the third item on my list of favorite things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I love the value of Stampin' Up!'s starter kit! Even if you never want to sell a thing, the starter kit is a fabulous value for both advanced stampers and beginners. You get to choose $125 worth of supplies (anything from the catalogs!) for only $99 and there are no shipping fees.

How does this tie in to my craft box? Well, my box is filled with $125 worth of supplies. So, you could get everything in my box as your Stampin' Up! Starter Kit if you wanted. If you're a beginning stamper and just want to make some cards. You'll have everything you need to get started! Or, if you want to start teaching card classes yourself, this list of supplies is everything you really need to start teaching others. 
How many cards can I make using just the supplies in this t craft box? In the Craft Box Challenge video series, I'm going to find out!
So here's the box:
  • Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set
  • Strawberry Builder Punch
  • 8 1/2" x 11" Thick Basic White cardstock
  • 8 1/2" x 11" Brights cardstock
  • Multipurpose Glue
  • Classic Stampin' Spot Assortment
  • Jet Black Stazon
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Clear Block D
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Misc. items: scissors, watercolor brush, pencil, black pen, sticky notes, Stampin' Shammy (These items aren't included in the cost tally.)
