Anybody know a company that sells card making kits with everything you need in them? A friend is looking into getting back to making cards and would like to start with a kit or two. I used to subscribe to paper pumpkin, but not anymore. I was tired of the non card kits.

Hero Arts, Spellbinders, Simon Says Stamp are a few I know of. Also Stampin Up do all inclusive kits.

I personally don't think that I would call Hero Arts or SSS all-inclusive kits. They are collections of themed supplies with ideas, but I don't think there's necessarily everything you need to make a number of specific cards, if that makes sense.
Paper Pumpkin gives enough of a sneak peek that you can skip any non-card kit months. Those kits contain everything, including stamps, ink, precut die cuts, and adhesive, as you probably remember. Basically bring scissors and a bone folder (though as a Pea mentioned in another thread, the side of your scissors blade can burnish a fold). Some of the other SU kits have stamps, others have stickers. SU also has simple card making products available a la carte, new this year, like card bases, pre-cut die cut packs, and their Memories and More card packs can be used for either pocket scrapbooking or card making.
The Spellbinders quick and easy (or whatever they call that new line) are no-stamping -- stickers and die cuts. IIRC they have adhesive, card bases, patterned papers, colored card stock, and are pretty all-inclusive. I think they have design suggestions, but not step-by-step instructions. They are by subscription but past kits are available for individual purchase on the site. I can't remember if they have full reveals or just sneaks before you need to subscribe or skip.
Club Scrap's card kits contain all the papers, embellishments, and cut apart sentiments that you need to make 12 cards and come with step-by-step instructions and access to a video of assembly. You need to bring your own 12" trimmer, adhesive, and similar basic tools. They are by subscription with a full kit reveal video in time for a month to be skipped. They do offer stamps as an add-on if you prefer to flip the cut aparts over and decorate your cards yourself. Past kits as available can be purchased on the site.
The Stamp Market just entered the card kit market, but I think they are more in line with the SSS or HA "collection" model.
I know some of the paper companies sell card kits as well, but I am less familiar with them.

Some of the paper companies do card kits you can buy online or at a lss. Here are a few I found. They aren't a subscription, but I actually like that I can just buy what I want when I need it.

My Favorite Things does a monthly kit with stamps, dies, cardstock, sometimes ink.
It is not a subscription and tends to sell out pretty quickly after release. I think they are released around the 20th-ish of the month.

Anna Griffin offers some all inclusive high quality card kits on her website and HSN. The "Simply" line is good for less experienced crafters. She also has more elaborate card kits. There are lots of YouTube videos that show her working with the kits. HSN also sells card kits from other companies including Crafters Companion

Yes, as pepperwood said, HSN has a lot of card kits that include stamps, paper, embellishments, dies, and stencils. Sometimes they even include inkpads. |

it depends on what you mean by "everything." no kit is going to include tools, like a die cutter or paper trimmer. Most don't include adhesive etc.
I think she should find a company that speaks to her - spellbinders, Altenew, hero arts, Simon, Stamp market, MFT etc. and get one kit and then see what else she needs.

By everything I don’t mean tools or die cutters or paper trimmers. She’s looking for something that you just need adhesives. There was a woman on Facebook who made beautiful cards and that’s all you needed. Everything was cut out or inked or colored in. But she’s not going to make them for a while. thanks for all the great suggestions. I will pass them on to her. |

An instagram friend of mine offers card kits in her Etsy shop. They’re all pre-cut and stamped, ready for assembly. No design work involved. Sorry the app didn’t let me link directly to the card kits but she has a section of her shop devoted to them. www.etsy.com/shop/NicolioWithLove |

 These are some of my favourites! No stamping involved, but all the papers, diecuts, and stickers you need for a set number of cards, plus some extras (if you have blank card bases).
