Each month, I love the excitement of going to my mailbox and finding the new Illustrated Faith devotional kit. As part of the launch team, I very rarely get to see these kits before they arrive, so it's a little bit like Christmas each and every month.
Likewise I know many of you look forward to the big reveal too! Towards the middle of the month, I'll start getting messages asking for the updates. Needless to say, I love sharing. But one comment I hear so often is that the price tag is just too high!
Well, Dayspring heard you...AND they listened! This month, I'm super excited to introduce an all new format at a brand new price point! New kits are now just $20! That's a $10 price drop!
Today, I wanted to walk you through the new kit- Persevere- and share the changes! Take a look:
The first change is it's packaging. In the past, all the kits had come in fun little zipper pouches that coordinated to the theme of the month. They now come in a super handy clear plastic envelope--- the perfect size for journaling on the go!
Next up all new journaling/devotional cards. These will take the place of the devotional booklet. Each kit includes 4 devotional cards and 4 journaling cards- one for each week.
Now, I must admit when I read about this change I wasn't too sure how I would like it, but once I saw the cards in person I LOVED it. I have been using them for tip ins right in my journal so I can look back over them often and know just what I was reading that inspired my journaling. They are typical postcard size- 4 x 6- so also ideal to be framed or a great idea for happy mail.
Speaking of the tip ins, these were another fun change in the kit. In the past the tip ins were simple margin size, rectangular shapes. To be honest, I most often used mine for bookmarks. But these heart shaped tip ins add a fun new element that I for one am thrilled with!
What's that!? Precut die-cuts!? YES!!!!
I LOVE die cuts! I use them most often in my journaling, and while I loved the fussy cuts included in the previous kits, I didn't enjoy the actual cutting. Frankly, I'm just not good at it! These are precut, and I feel like you get MORE! Not to mention, these particular ones are gorgeous!
Of course to reach the lower price point, some small cuts had to be made somewhere and one place we see that is in the stamps. While stamps are still included, they're a bit smaller than past stamp sets. Still, they're the perfect size for journaling and the designs are every bit as stunning!
The kit still included two sheets of stickers, as it did before. The sheets are a bit smaller in size, but aside from the alphabet stickers which were no longer included, I again feel like you actually got more here. This kit was the first to feature gold foil, as seen in these stickers and throughout, which was also a HUGE plus for me!
Washi has been a favorite kit feature from day one, so I am happy to report there are no changes there! We still get a roll of washi- same size, same fabulous designs!
Overall, I am THRILLED with the changes! Like I said, the kit is in some ways a little bit smaller than previous kits, BUT I feel like you really get just as much if not more--- just in a slightly different format! I am super excited about the changing formats and look forward to seeing the future kits!
And again, they are now just $20!!! PLUS, order before July 31 and use the code THANKYOU for 25% off your purchase! Amazing!
