April’s card kit to go

I chose to use the Well Dressed designer paper for my card kit to go this month.  This paper is full of stylish images and soft florals.

This month's kit includes 4 unique fun-fold cards but you get two of each!  Plus I added an adorable pre-cut bag filled with mini cards too!  Look! 

Save

Each card is finished differently giving you lots of options! This kit to go includes $20 in product plus more!

• a full package of the 6 X 6" Best Dressed designer series paper seen here. 
• 1 full spool of Mint 3/8" satin ribbon
• a full package of Pearl jewels
• a pdf tutorial for all 8 fun fold cards plus the purse and mini cards
• the pre-cut kit!  It includes pre-cut, punched and die-cut pieces ready to stamp and assemble.
• You'll cut your own designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial. 

Save

I used the Dressed to Impress, Butterfly Gala and Peaceful Moments stamp sets to finish mine.  In the tutorial I give you two examples of each card so you can make either or both.  Add on either stamp set or bundle at a 10% discount! 

You have two choices: get the pre-kit to go which includes the pdf tutorial.  Or opt to purchase the pdf tutorial alone. 

You can see and purchase both here on my Tutorial Shop.  Be sure to opt in by Friday, April 17th! 

Here are some comments from happy customers:

• A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea

  April 1, 2021

  ---

  The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

  Save

  One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

  Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

  The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

Six card bases are popsicle shaped, the other six are semicircles: three watermelons and three rainbows. All of the cards are splashed with cheerful, vivid watercolor images.

  This cute designer paper is retiring and not returning in the new Annual Catalog in May. It is full of bright colors and adorable patterns.   I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch seen here.
