Hi friends! I’m so excited to share the April 2026 Club Kits from The Stamps of Life and the cards I created using them!
This month’s Stamp Club set is called Message in a Bottle, and it features a fun nautical theme that’s perfect for sending heartfelt notes in a creative way. The set includes adorable images like bottles, rolled messages, a sailboat, and little accents that bring everything together beautifully. I especially love the unique concept of “messages” inside bottles as it adds such a playful and meaningful touch to your cards.
The sentiments in this set are “Wishing you calm seas & happy days,” “Floating by to say hi,” and “Our friendship is unsinkable.” They’re perfect for friendship cards, encouragement, thinking-of-you cards, and just because greetings.
If you’re part of the Die Hard Club, you’ll also receive the coordinating dies, which make it so easy to cut out the stamps.
Let’s take a look at this month’s Card Kit Club! This kit is called “Happy Days Ahead” and features the Message in a Bottle images from the Stamp & Die Hard Club sets.
The card kit includes 12 pieces of 8 1/2″ x 11″ cardstock, A2 envelopes, plastic storage envelope, paper pad, message in a bottle stickers, sentiment stickers, star iron-on patches, green sticky gems, “Happy Days Ahead” word die, ribbon, and an A1 Bottle Fold-it Die Set.
There are lots of perks to being a club member.
- Earn club points to spend in the store
- Receive 15 percent off discount on everything in the store (a 20 percent discount for card kit members)
- Receive a $15 gift certificate on your club anniversary ($25 for card kit members)
- and more!
