Welcome to this month’s Build & Bloom Stampers Blog Hop
This month’s theme is Black and White Greeting Cards
Hello Everyone,
I’m so excited to be joining in with this month’s Build & Bloom Stampers blog hop, where the theme this month is create a Black and White Greeting Card. When I first saw the theme, I struggled to think of how I could make a card just using black and white, as I am a colourful person and love making cards using lots of colour, so just being able to use black and white really made me think outside my comfort zone. Then I remembered I have some Stampin’ Up! Kits. I looked through my stash and found the Thank You Kindly kit. There are 8 cards in the kit, 4 of each design. For this month’s make a Black and White greeting card challenge, I have made one card from each design.
The Black and White Thank You Kindly kit.

Why I love Stampin’ Up! Kits
What makes Stampin’ Up! kits so special is that everything you need is included. They’re perfect as gifts for all ages, ideal to pack for holidays, and wonderfully compact so they don’t take up much space. I especially appreciate them when I need a card in a hurry — no time to design from scratch, but still wanting something handmade and beautiful.
Getting Started
Simply follow the step-by-step instructions to create both cards exactly as shown.
- Open the box and lay out the contents.
- Sort the pieces into sets for each card.
- Use the clear instructions provided to guide you through the assembly.
It’s quick, easy and so satisfying to see your finished cards come together.
