DETAILS ABOUT ANNIE’S CARDMAKER KIT

Annie’s Kit Clubs offers lots of different crafting kits. Right now you can get kits in the following crafting areas: yarn, crochet, knitting, kids crafts, general crafts, quilting/sewing, jewelry, fabric and CARDMAKING. I love making cards and have been trying out different monthly kits. So I ordered Annie’s Cardmaking Kit.

The cost of the kit is $22.99 plus shipping. The company had a special going when I ordered and I got my first kit for 1/2 price.

The card kits have supplies and directions to make 8-10 cards. You get a different kit each month.

The kits are rated for beginners. There are several different kits shown on their website, but you may not get one of those kits. They are examples of kits they have had.

The first kit comes with a special gift. It is a cute pencil type bag that says CREATE. Inside is an acrylic block for the stamps, a bone folder and a piercing stylus.

HONEST ANNIE’S CARDMAKER KIT CLUB REVIEW

I received the Birthday Shaker kit and honestly LOVED it. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I love shaker cards. This kit was right up my alley because I enjoy making shaker cards and I like having lots of birthday cards on hand.

Here are my thoughts on the kit:

  • The kit was designed to make 8 cards–two of each design. There was a very nice colored instruction booklet that gave detailed directions on how to make each of the four designs. I really liked the instruction booklet. Although I am an experienced cardmaker, I like following directions when it comes to kits, LOL.
  • The birthday cards all turned out perfectly and are adorable and look like really nice quality cards. They were easy to make too.
  • The only drawback to the birthday cards is that they all feel very feminine to me. It would have been nice to have half the cards be more masculine.
  • The kit included a generic clear birthday-themed stamp set that I didn’t need to use for the cards. The stamp set felt kind of cheap to me and I am not sure if it will get used.
  • Envelopes are included in the kit and that is always nice.
  • There were extra supplies left after I completed the 8 cards. So I used the supplies and made SIX more cards! I will note that I had to use my own card bases. But the other items were just leftovers from the kit.
  • I got a total of 14 cards out of this kit and that is an AMAZING deal for the low-cost of the kit.

CARDS I MADE WITH EXTRA SUPPLIES

Here are the cards I made with the extra supplies in the kit. I made three different designs, two of each design.

The first design was a simple card featuring three banners and some twine tied to the side of the card.

The second design features a shaker element that says celebrate. There are two hanging banners along the top.

The third design also utilizes long banners layered on top of each other in different lengths. There is a small tag at the top that is tied with a twine bow.

CARDMAKER KIT CLUB MONTH TWO

The second month when I got my kit I was not nearly as happy with kit. My second kit was called Simply Sweet Greetings. The cards are all made with the main supply item being washi tape. I don’t typically use washi tape on cards because I am not confident it will stay stuck to the card.

I felt like the card designs were much less elegant and the quality didn’t look as good because of the washi tape. There was one card design I liked and I did make 2 of that design. I may actually make 6 more of that design with different stamped sentiments.

Something I did like about this kit was that the card bases were made out of colored cardstock. There was also some gold foil cardstock included that was really pretty.

IS ANNIE’S CARDMAKER KIT CLUB WORTH IT?

Overall Annie’s cardmaker kit club is definitely worth the money. The kit club is priced very competitively and is much lower than other clubs I have tried. The cards are quick and easy to make.

I did end up cancelling the kit club after the second month. My main reason for cancelling was because I am trying out different kits, but can’t keep them all long-term.

There is a good chance I will sign back up for this one in the future. I do wish they offered a kit preview that you could opt out of for the month if you didn’t care for the kit.

Have you tried Annie’s kit clubs? I would love to hear your thoughts.
