The new Light the Candles Card Kit from Stampin’ Up!’s Kit Collection called to me! It’s a fun set of cards to make as the kit instructs. But I couldn’t help myself…I altered the contents of the kit to make a few fun fold cards.

I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating two of them and explained tips on three more. And now I’m sharing that video 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 post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & 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 what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the wonderful alternatives. I made one of the pop-up boxes. I think the measurement for the striped pattern should be 1 5/8 x 5 1/2 not 1 3/8 x 5 1/2 as it says on the printable. I really enjoyed making the pop up. Thanks again!
Thanks Theresa for your sweet words AND for checking on measurements. But the measurements are correct…1-3/8″ x 5-1/2″.
Guess I’m on the after live comment…I usually don’t comment as *most* demos state they cannot ship to CANADA & that’s where I am. I LOOOOVVE your alternative choices, even though I don’t have this set; trying to cut back, as I’m my own best customer. BUT…you really need a manicure; your nails & cuticles are suffering from winter weather, paper, soaps & other things. Be kind to yourself & get a mani!!!
Thanks Sue. Glad you enjoyed what I shared.
On a side note, my nails can’t take polish anymore. I used to use polish ALLLL the time (as you can see from my first many years of videos). But they now have ridges/damage and there is nothing I can do for this I’m told. Sorry if they are ugly to look at. But the pain of polish off and on in recent years (even last time I went on a trip) was NOT fun. Plus I’m old now. LOL
Loved your cards. Thanks for all of your ideas.
Thanks Ann!
