But look how it opens! The center pops out for a nice surprise.

My colors include Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Basic Beige. The designer paper is from the Gathering Together pack seen here.

Get more cards in the Gorgeous Expressions of Kindness card kit

July 11, 2024

This stunning Expressions of Kindness card kit from our Kit Collection was released last month. I made time to play with it a few days ago and it's absolutely gorgeous!

Save

I liked the cards so well I wanted to make more than the 8 cards in the kit. It's fun to figure out how to extend the beautiful prints on the cards and envelopes. I decided to keep it simple and add extra card bases and leave the envelopes intact.

See this kit here online:

Save

This first set of cards are almost exactly as the kit suggested except I saved the gold foil leaves for a different card. There was enough ribbon to add a few knots on each of the above cards and still have enough for the rest of the 8 cards seen below.

Save

Below are all three individual cards I made.

Save

For the following two cards I cut the full printed card bases in half. I added 4 white card bases for the left card below. I felt the printed card with the gold foil accents was pretty enough for the ribbon & greeting image.

For the card on the right above I cut down the card front to 4" X 5 1/4" and layered it onto 4 Blackberry Bliss card bases as seen below. This is where I added the gold foil leaves with the greeting.

Save

You can see this beautiful kit here. It's $23 and includes the 8 cards & envelopes, a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, gems, White ribbon and adhesive.

Here's the stamp set included in this kit. The flower head fits on the purple flowers to add detail.

Save

There are two more new kits released in July. Both are card kits – one geared for kids and the other a pretty floral kit.

A Fun Fold card with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder; video too!

July 10, 2024

Here's the last card in the group of three I shared in last week's live video. I featured the Changing Leaves bundle from the Online Extras.

Save

My colors include Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with a tiny bit of white and Pretty Peacock added. That beautiful circle die-cut is the largest in the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

The Changing Leaves bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder. You might wonder what a 'hybrid' embossing folder is? It's a folder that has a coordinating die that works 'inside' the folder. It cuts and embosses at the same time. Genius! Confused on how this works? Watch the video here to see.

Save

I cut out all three leaves from the large leaf die at once and each card featured a different leaf. I thought I was smart to design my swap cards this way and save time too.

Save

Two cards feature a diagonal design but they're all quite different. Each one includes Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige cardstock though.

See the previous two blog posts for the free project sheets. Or click here to see all of my project sheets!

Watch the video below to see how the Changing Leaves bundle with the Hybrid embossing folder works. You'll also see multiple techniques too!
