- It is also a way to get a lot of cards made in a short time.
- Some card making kits will teach you new crafting techniques you haven't tried before. There are a lot of really creative ways to make handmade cards!
- There is usually very good customer service with subscription boxes.

I subscribe to Paper Pumpkin-offered by Stampin’ Up
Love from Lizi offers a monthly kit that is packed with paper, stamps and lot of goodies to make more than 10 cards. She’s based in the UK but does her best to keep shipping low. Her kits are amazing!
I hope it’s ok to share my card making kits here… Q’s Creative cards on Facebook and Sueneal.blogspot.com to purchase. My kits are a bit different. Pre-cut, ready to assemble. Comes with a slideshow to make assembly super fun & easy, also portable as you can use it on your tablet or phone. You also get all printable and cut files as a bonus to make more cards with your own stash. I teach 8 classes in Utah and mailorder. $10 off your first order! Hope you can check it out!
Hero Arts has a monthly kit. Dies stamps and extra things. Love it.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! As a well-educated grown adult I should not suffer from severe anxiety every time I site down to create cards but I do! So I purchased Paper Pumpkins for my mother and myself though we live 8 hour drive apart thinking at least we could talk about them. Well, I’d love to get another delivery kit with coordinated dies & stamps (bc the 15 pairs I’ve bought are intimidating me) without breaking the bank. It wouldn’t need to make many cards as I have plenty of materials, but directions, pictures and samples! I am excited to check these out!! If I can get some every other month for less than $20/month I’m gonna be ecstatic!!
I have subscribed to the following card making kits: Tonic studios, Spellbinders, Stamps of Life, and Hero Arts. All are good value for the money. They all offer stamps and dies. All except for Tonic Studios offer cardstock. Spellbinders offers a lot of embellishments. They advertise that you can make 10 cards with their kit. You can easily make twice that many. I have enjoyed all of them, but I now choose these month to month rather than paying for an automatic subscription. I don’t always like the theme offered.
Thanks so much for sharing Sally. I agree…I do hate to get a whole themed kit I may not use! Spellbinders sounds like a great choice if you want to make a LOT of cards.
I have decided that Spellbinders is wonderful IF you like the kit. I have stopped getting them automatically because I now have 2 that I don’t care for. I am going to give your suggestions a try! Thank you!
Thank you for compiling this list. There are a lot of card kits that I didn’t know about.
