Paper Kit- Photo Play Paper- Vintage Girl

I recently purchased the Vintage Girl collection by Photo Play Paper and wanted to share a break down of what I was able to create with it. 

Price: $10 (I think this may have been a sale price)

Contents: 12 sheets of 12x12 double sided paper, 1 sticker sheet

Total Made: 15 cards, 3 flipbooks

 

I was able to create 13 cards, 

and a flip book. 

My daughter also created 2 cards and 2 flipbooks.

I used the small scraps to decorate the inside of the cards:

 

and we still have this paper left:

Card Kit- Echo Park Autumn

I have already blogged about Echo Park being the cheapest card kit, but I wanted to breakdown another Echo Park kit, how much it made,  and what it cost me.

 This time not only did I purchase the kit ($12), I added on an embossing folder (that can be used indefinitely) ($5) , a 6x6 paper pad ($5), 2 sheets of stickers ($6), and an extra 12x12 paper (.80). I added my own card bases, envelopes and a few items here and there, but very little.

 Echo Park is definitely the most cost effective way to make a lot of super cute cards.

For $30 I was able to make:

50 cards

decorate 40 envelopes, 

make 2 pocket letters

and 5 ATC cards

and I still have leftovers!  

 

Just a few of the cards I created with the kit:

 

 2 pocket letters plus 5 ATCs:

 

Some of the envelopes:

 

And my leftovers (I also gave any apple ephemera/stickers etc to a friend)

Card Making Kit- Echo Park

Echo Park I Love Family Kit

Contents:

18 (12x12) double sided coordinating papers

2 sticker sheets 

2 sheets of journaling  cards

 

*purchased separately, coordinating brads 

Total Spent: $15 for kit, $5 for brads

Finished Cards: 36  so far,

Thoughts:

These cards are some of my favorite that I have ever made. So simple to match them up, and the colors and patterns were so beautiful and perfectly my style. 

 It was the most cost effective option for me, of all the kits I tried, but I did need to supply my own paper cutter, cardstock, adhesive, and any extra elements (buttons, ribbon, doilies).

Note: I did have the option to add on many other coordinating items to my order (cardstock, chipboard embellishments, embossing folder, stickers, washi, die cut sets, stamps, and so much more), but since I already owned those items I skipped them.  

It  also made MANY more cards than any other kit.
