Welcome back for the second day of our May Countdown! We're so excited to show you all the details on a fabulous new mini kit coming your way! This one is totally out of this world and we think you're going to love every last detail!
Let the special people in your life know that you think they’re simply out of this world! The Out of This World mini kit is filled with tools and supplies for creating cards and projects that will send the recipients into orbit. With fun patterned papers, stamps, stencils, and dies, this kit is jam packed with options, especially suited for the men and boys in your universe!
Available for purchase May 15th. CLICK HERE for further product details.
One of my favorite things about this kit is the stencils. They provide you with the tools necessary to create full A2 sized backgrounds that are full of color and personality. Betsy is the queen of layering stencils, and she makes it easy to build backgrounds with dimension and detail in just a few steps.
This project uses all three stencils to build a background that certainly steals the show. By layering vibrant colors I was able to create something that only needed a simple sentiment strip to complete it. Not to mention the process was very satisfying, like creating a painting without any of the hard work!

The papers in this kit are a treasure as well. They make it quick and easy to put together an entire card in just minutes. This project is a perfect example of that, as all it uses is the papers!
Some quick die-cutting of the pre-printed shapes and it is all about the assembly.

How about something a little different, something more sophisticated with the same supplies? With just a few stamps from the kit I was able to create an entire collage around the "HB" from Initial Sentiments: Birthday set.
I stamped everything in VersaMark and brushed over them with Perfect Pearls.

Heather Nichols is joining me today, featuring Make It Market Mini Kit: Out of This World.
One of the cool things about a few of the papers contained in the kit is the "white space" Betsy allowed for customizing with the stencils. Heather took advantage of that design feature here when she stenciled the planet below the pre-printed sky.

This particular stencil is one of the most versatile included in the new kit. Not only does it work wonders with other kit contents, but it can be a wonderful companion to lots of previously released products for a variety of themes such as birthdays, Christmas and so much more. The detailed texture created on this card specifically with the embossing paste is extraordinary!

Heather achieved a gorgeous ethereal effect hear just by simply spritzing water over her stenciling. The contrast of the watered down background and the crisp stampeded images is just plain awesome.

Michelle Leone is joining me today, featuring Make It Market Mini Kit: Out of This World.
This card by Michelle is the perfect example of just how versatile Betsy's kits can be, whether you prefer to create involved projects or keep things more simple. While this project only features a few stamped elements, they are executed perfectly and arranged fabulously. I can imagine the same project in lots of different color schemes too!

- INK: Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy, Scarlet Jewel
- PAPER: Craft, Dark Chocolate, Misc. patterned paper
- DIES: Out Of This World Mini Kit
Michelle does it again with a good basic design that really allows the color scheme to sing. The strips of color in the border directly correlate back to the colors used in the planets creating great visual harmony.

- INK: Enchanted Evening, Versafine Onyx Black
- PAPER: Tropical Teal, Enchanted Evening, Green Parakeet, True Black, Stamper’s Select White

- OTHER: Out of This World patterned papers
There is SO much I love about this particular card! I've always been a fan of black and white cards that just feature a few bold pops of color. Here, Michelle took that to a whole new level by making the pops of color dimensional. So simple in concept, yet quite striking and memorable.
