Since Stampin' Up! is offering a free coordinating stamp set when you purchase two Simply Sent Kits (get promotion details here), I felt it would be fun to share a video that proves you can make a pretty handmade card using the kit supplies–in less than 60 seconds. The kits make thoughtful gifts for new stampers or pinch hit for a seasoned stamper who needs a last minute card. You can "dress" them up with just a few embellishments as shared in both today's card (above) and this previous post: Simply Sent Christmas Before and After
