Triple the Simply Citrus Kit

I’m a huge fan of kits produced by Stampin’ Up!® All the consumables you need to complete a fun paper crafting project or set of projects are included. And often times the non-consumables (stamps and ink) are included, too. When those items are included, the kits are called all-inclusive kits. Stampin’ Up! also offers kits where stamp sets and other tools are sold separately. This is a perk for those who want to make several more sets of kit projects. You can find the current kits in my online store by clicking here.
(And then there are Paper Pumpkin kits that come month-to-month as a subscription. These are all-inclusive. I blog about them quite often since they are amazing!) 

I recently purchased the Simply Citrus kit realizing that if I could show how to get more than just 15 cards from it, that would increase its value. Since it’s an all-inclusive kit, most crafters wouldn’t purchase more than one kit simply because it would be difficult to justify a purchase where you’d be getting another stamp set you already own. So with just a few basic supplies (Whisper White cardstock & envelopes, Artistry Blooms Sequins, Paper Trimmer, Paper Snips, and 2” Circle Punch) I came up with new layouts and tripled the cards in this Simply Citrus Card Kit! Yes…so instead of making just 15 cards with this kit, I made 45!

Then I shared these cards during my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook on Wednesday. I uploaded the recording of this class onto my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook) and shared it here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here  (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for these cards I demonstrated.
