Get more cards in the Gorgeous Expressions of Kindness card kit


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! 

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: 

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. 

Below are all three individual cards I made. 

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. 

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.

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

  • Black & White with a POP of color & ALL fun folds for my 2nd July card kit to go; or choose the tutorial only option


    I'm always drawn to Black & White patterned paper because it's such a fun start to creating.  Black & White with a 'pop' of color are usually quite striking, eye-catching cards and these are no exception! 

    Each one is a unique fun fold design with great pops of color too.  

    I chose to use the Biggest Wish stamp set for my greetings but you can substitute any set you own.  Or add it on to the kit at an extra 10% off.  

    Here's how it works:

    The pre-cut card kit includes $20 in product and you receive the PDF tutorial free.  It's the best deal. 

    You'll receive 1/2 pkg of the Perfectly Penciled DSP (6" X 12"), a share of the Iridescent Pearls and 1/8" Tahitian Tide ribbon.  You'll have plenty of supplies left to make even more cards!  The kit includes all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts or punched pieces.  It does not include textured embossing. 

    The kit and tutorial include 2 each of 5 card designs. The PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies and step & step directions. I have just a few of these left.  See all of my kits here

    What you need to complete these cards:

    1. A paper trimmer, adhesives & paper snips
    2. Inks and stamp greetings (inks are Real Red, Black & Tahitian Tide)
    3. Die-cut & embossing machine to add texture to some layers

    These cards are uniquely special and can be used for many occasions.

  • Get a 2 toned leaf with Watercolor Pencils with the Soft Seedlings stamp set


    Here's another card I shared on this week's FB Live video.  I continued with the same color scheme of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam. Who knew these colors would be so pretty together!? 


    I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set (seen here) from the new Holiday catalog along with the FREE cards & envelopes from our newest Sale-a-Bration line.  

    I inked and stamped the main leaf image in Soft Sea Foam directly onto the Soft Sea Foam card stock.  Then I used a watercolor pencil from the Assortment 2 package to highlight the leaf with the blue/green hue.  Afterwards I blended it with my Wink of Stella pen.  

    These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders!  Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!  

    These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases.  Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. You can use them for lots of cards in the future! 

    Other products used:

    • Stylish Shapes dies for the banners
    • Bough punch with vellum card stock
    • Sponge daubers, Wink of Stella
    • Clear rhinestones with a Granny Apple Green Blends marker to change them from clear to green.

    Below you can see all three cards I shared in the video.  I also shared a bunch of swap cards I received using this stamp set.  I hope you watch it!

  • Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes


    On yesterday's FB Live I shared 3 cards featuring the new Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The first two featured the new FREE Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes too.  

    These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders!  Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!  

    These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. You can use them for lots of cards in the future! 

    The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases.  Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. 

    You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber.  Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp!   Watch the video here to see how it's done. 

    There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer.  I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves.  Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.  

    I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside. 

    Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies.  I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here.  I LOVE this folder!  I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

    The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.
