Easy Kite Delight Fun Fold card with video & measurements

I cannot believe I forgot to share this neat card!  We made it at my April card clubs; it's a fun fold featuring the Kite Delight stamp set & the Pattern Party designer paper. 

Save

This stamp set is on the Last Chance list and is on sale at just $12.60 instead of $18. 

The color combination includes Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Black & White.  The kites are colored in with Blends markers and the Cloud Punch adds a fun detail for the greeting banner.

Here's how it opens up to reveal the other side of your double sided designer paper.  The Pattern Party DSP is retired now; it was in the annual catalog and free for hosts.

As you can see I changed the cards up just a bit.  I swapped the yellow kits and used two different greetings too.

Measurements: 

• Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", layer 2 5/8" X 3 7/8"

  • White die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5"

• Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

  April 18, 2025

  ---

  Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

  I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine:

  Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand. 

  Save

  I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them. 

   

  Save

  The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

  See these pretty cards & envelopes here.  

  Save

  The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold. 

  The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock. 

   

  Save

  I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

• 3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

  April 17, 2025

  ---

  Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month.  Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.  

  Save

  You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits. 

  Save

  My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!
