If you love the idea of memory keeping but feel overwhelmed by the thought of designing intricate pages and gathering a multitude of supplies, you’re not alone! ME TOO! Years ago when my kids were young I actually did a lot of scrapbooking. I had all the things, all the albums, all the stuff, and all the mess… But after a while, I lost interest and got rid of my entire “stash” of products.
Fast forward 20+ years… boy has scrapbooking changed! What if I told you there’s a way to simplify the process, making it not just easier, but also a lot more fun? Enter a Stampin’ Up! scrapbooking kit, your all-in-one solution for capturing and preserving memories without the fuss. I wasn’t sure if I was going to dive back into scrapbooking or not, but with the recent release of scrapbooking kits, I thought I would give one a try. I’d love to share with you my first 6 pages and my excitement over how fun and easy these were to make. So here’s a look at the Autumn to Remember Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.
What Is A Stampin’ Up! Scrapbooking Kit?
Stampin’ Up! offers a variety of scrapbooking kits designed specifically for crafters who want to dive into the world of memory keeping without the stress of planning and organizing. The kits come with everything in them as well as complete instructions. From how to cut all the pieces of gorgeous paper, to how to layout the pages and where to put everything. It couldn’t be easier.
And the best part – NO LEFTOVERS. I love that the Stampin’ Up! kits are designed so there’s no excess material left behind. Each kit is curated to ensure that you have exactly what you need for the projects at hand. This means less waste, fewer leftover supplies cluttering your craft space, and most importantly, more time for creativity! You can dive right into the crafting process without worrying about what to do with leftover paper, stickers, or embellishments. It’s all designed to fit perfectly together.
The only additional items I used, besides the scrapbooking kit, were my Paper Trimmer, Adhesives, and one piece of white cardstock to create a few more photo mats – that’s it.
Autumn to Remember Kit
Start By Cutting All the Papers
Each kit comes with Designer Series Paper, solid colored card stock, die-cuts, stickers, embellishments, and very detailed cutting diagrams. I will admit, I was a bit nervous to start cutting. But seriously, it was so easy. The diagrams show you exactly how to cut each piece showing the orientation of the print, as well as where to make the first cut.
Sort the Papers By Pages
Assemble Your Pages
Once I had everything cut, I simply sorted into piles all of the pieces that went with each of the 6 pages. And then I started to lay them out per the instructions. I think the thing that intimidated me the most about scrapbooking was feeling overwhelmed with how to design the layouts. But it was not a problem at all. The layouts are thoughtfully created by professional designers, taking the guesswork out of the equation. I simply followed the easy-to-understand instructions and had so much fun putting my pages together.
Plus I finally was able to get my treasured pictures from a family photo shoot off of my computer and into an album to enjoy for years to come.
Memory Keeping Kits Are Perfect for Everyone
These scrapbooking kits are perfect for crafters of all experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned scrapbooker looking for a quick project or a beginner unsure where to start, these kits offer a fantastic solution. Because I am a simple card maker, I also want to be a simple scrapbooker. So I created the kit “just the way it was designed.” Now you could certainly step up the layouts if you want, or completely change them to your own liking, but I have to say, I absolutely love how my pages turned out using the kit exactly as designed.
I Might Just Be Hooked!
And there you go – my first scrapbook pages in over 20 years! And I am so excited to make more as I get pictures off my computer and put together a family album of my most cherished memories. Stay tuned… I am sure I will share more pages as I tackle my next Stampin’ Up! Scrapbooking kit. But don’t worry, my first love is still card making! And I will continue to share lots of quick and easy card ideas with you, with a little scrapbooking sprinkled in!
