The Stamps of Life May 2021 card kit was released on May 15 and I’m super excited to share with you the 10 cards I made with the kit. This kit corresponds to the monthly stamp and die set called BBQ2Stamp as well as the add-on set, MoreBBQ2Stamp, This kit is perfect for your summer cards. It can also be used to create masculine cards for all of those guys in your life. Here’s a picture of everything that is included in the May Card Kit.
The May card kit is called the “Totally Rad” collection. The color pallet for this month is Midnight, Green Apple, Kiwi, Cranberry, Twig, Gingersnap, Sunshine, Pool, and Powdered Sugar. This kit comes with 12 cardstock sheets — one in each color plus four Powdered Sugar cardstock sheets.
This card kit comes with a 6″ x 9″ paper pad and is the Totally Rad Collection. It comes with 24 double-sided sheets of patterned paper. It also includes four barbecue grills and several utensils, grass, steaks, turkey legs, and hot dogs — all that can be die cut using the shadow dies from the club set and add-on set. In total, there are 54 pieces that can be die cut from the paper pad to be used on your cards. These die cuts make for quick and easy cards because they are already colored for you!
The card kit also comes with a Totally Rad word die, epoxy dots, chipboard pieces, two ribbon, a sentiment stamp set, a BBQ word die, idea card, a set of envelopes, and a large storage envelope to put everything in.
Below, I have a video showing the unboxing of the card kit and my design process for all 10 cards I made with the card kit. I also have links to all of the supplies used for my cards at the very end of this post.
