Stampin' Up!® has once again partnered with Country Living to bring you a really fun kit this summer:  this time, a Summer Cookout Kit! 

I just received mine and have had some fun today exploring it.  I will share photos of some of the elements from the kit, but they won't be as attractive as the staged photo from Stampin' Up! above.

Your summer cookout begins with invitations, of course….. and these are about as clever as they come!  Everything is included for your 8 invitations – right down to the skewers, envelopes, and stamps & ink to decorate the envelopes if you wish.  (I stamped the images over on the left, as the envelope comes plain white.)  But the images for the kabob are super-easy to use – just punch 'em out, write your invitation specifics, and thread them on the skewer.  But check with the post office before mailing; they'll probably need some extra postage.                            

The red gingham image wrapped around the napkin here was stamped with one of the 3 stamps and 2 ink spots (small ink pads) included in this kit, and the round tag comes preprinted with the colorful circle around the edge.  (I stamped the star in the middle.)  And aren't these 2 paper food pockets fun, too?!?  I'll be demonstrating the folds for assembling them at my upcoming events this summer.

Something else that really impressed me about this kit is that the coasters actually have a plastic-like surface, so they're waterproof – and the paper food pockets are waxed, too, just like at the drive-in!

Click here to view a listing of all the elements of this kit (including some more pictures).  Or click here to purchase this kit for yourself.  The kit (with supplies for 8 people) is $24.95 when purchased through my online store, and will be available through August 31st – as long as supplies last.

Have fun at your summer cookout!
