The sheer volume of content that this kit warranted made me break up the video into two parts.

For Part one, I sped up some prep and stamping to keep it under thirty minutes and for part two I just gave up and let it go long.

The tips, tricks and designs make every minute of part two worthwhile.

Here is the link to part one ->...
