Studio Azul is HERE

Welcome to Studio Azul! The first Philippine-based monthly kit club!!!
Have you ever wished you spent less time matching scrapbook supplies and more time scrapping?
Are you a newbie scrapper, wanting to transition into scrapbooking easily?
Or Are you an experienced scrapper looking for new challenges and techniques?

Kit Clubs is definitely the way to go. With the growing demand for kit clubs abroad, more and more Filipina scrappers have been either subscribing or contemplating on subscribing to kit clubs based often in the US. With the cost of shipping and the cost of the kits themselves which are in the mercy of the US dollar exchange rate, sometimes it makes you think twice if it's worth it.

STUDIO AZUL is the first monthly kit club in the Philippines. We've been kit club subscribers (albiet kit addicts!) ourselves and have always wanted good quality and affordable kits locally. Seeing the opportunity to serve both newbie & experienced as well as budgeted & sky's-the-limit scrappers, we have come out with our first set of LIMITED EDITION KITS.

But wait, what exactly IS a kit club?
Pretty much a KIT CLUB is a monthly membership, where you receive a PRE-coordinated kit complete with papers and embellishments within a given time period.

FAQ"s

** YOU CAN ALSO VIEW THE FAQ'S HERE

I'm a newbie scrapper, won't I have a difficult time using the kits?
As much as all the kits come pre-coordinated, we still think of its usability. We do our best to make sure its friendly both to newbie and experienced scrappers alike; The papers down to the embellishments match, whether by style, theme or color. Pre-coordinated kits also takes out the guess work of spending too much time deciding what matches with what. Once your kits arrive, you just have to sit down and start scrapping. Ofcourse, we made sure that we still leave a lot of room for you to explore your creativity.

If i'm an experienced scrapper, will I still be challenged?
As an experienced scrapper, oftentimes you look towards growing with your craft. Sometimes we unconsciously stick to our usual styles, even though we would like to explore other techniques such as distressed, shabby chic, graphic, boheme, etc. Kits come pre-coordinated, but the way you use all the supplies is up to you. This forms a new challenge since you will be working with different styles and themes every month. If you always leaned towards flowery and very feminine layouts, your kits will definitely vary from flowery to shabby to even funky! Kits are a great way to stretch your creativity.

Why should I buy STUDIO AZUL kits when I can buy kits abroad?
Two words, shipping and cost.
Kits in the US are usually around $30 a month, with shipping starting from $20. Roughly, you'll be spending around $50 a month or over php2,000 a month! Our kits are php950.00 and we will always keep it at php950 for members.
