I’m still in Houston at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage convention, but prerecorded an instructional video for how to more than double the cards you can get from the Panda Friends card kit. It’s such a fun kit with bright colors and playful images!
Panda Friends made it’s debut in the Kits Collection in early January. It’s a non-stamping kit, so it doesn’t come with stamps and ink…just consumables. So already at $14 US it’s quite affordable to purchase more than one if have the desire to make several cards with it. But I thought, why not change up the designs a bit to share options. And all of a sudden with just the addition of some Basic Black Cardstock, ribbon, envelopes and extra sentiments from outside stamp set images, I came up with designs that shifted this kit of 8 cards to a kit of 20 cards.
I thought it would be more fun to explain how to put these cards together in video format. So today I have for you a bonus Online Paper Crafting Class.
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 complete list of products (linked to where you can find them in my online store) that I used in my demonstration. Visit Stampin’ Up!’s Kit Collection by clicking here.

Measurements for the extra supplies needed to make 20 cards…
- Basic Black Cardstock
- (8) 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to the short side at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2”
- (8) 5-1/2” x 8” scored parallel to the short side in at 4-1/4”
- (4) 5-1/2” x 5-1/4” scored parallel to the long side at 4-1/4”
- Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon
- (8) 14″
- (8) 5-1/2″
- (4) 16″ for knots or 21″ for tying bows
Here are photos of my finished cards. Remember in the video I share how to change the supplies from the two different “kit cards” into five. Then doing this with the other three sets of “kit cards,” you will end up with 20. So you won’t see all 20 below…just the variations AND some options if you decide to change things up.
These are the easel cards. You can get these two designs. from cutting up the 8-1/2″ wide slimline card into four pieces.
This is the card that shows off both sides of the pretty paper layer.
Remember you can flip over that inner panel to have a green layer or a polka-dot blue layer.
And these are the other two of the five designs.
The green layers can be wider or narrower.
And the stamp set I used for the additional images (Perennial Postage) has many sentiments that will work with the different layouts of these cards. This is just an example of the ones that fit into this hexagonal window of the pink cards.
If you run out of that gingham ribbon, you can use other. I grabbed up my Silver & White Sheer Ribbon for the remainder of my cards.
Because I DID end up creating all 20 cards after recording my video.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared! If you love cute animal imagery OR are a panda bear fan (or know of others who are), you’ll want to grab up this kit. Remember online-only products like the kits from the Kits Collection and the Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.
