Dude, You're Welcome! Kit



Starting today, Stampin' Up! is offering a card kit for men! What an awesome idea! I can't wait to get my hands on one of these! So this is how it went down on my birthday this year.

My husband: "Sorry I didn't get you a card." Me: "Seriously?!! Can't you take out a piece of white paper and just stamp something on it?"

It just got that much easier. Check it out! I love this video Stampin' Up! produced to show off this new product. Hilarious!

 
It's my pleasure to help you with your paper crafting projects, offer tips, suggestions, and answer product questions. My customer service goes beyond your order! Contact me anytime with questions or with help in placing an order.
