As this blog post is releasing, I’m at the airport with my oldest son Nicholas getting ready to board our plane to Mexico. But prerecorded an instructional video for how to double the cards you can get from the By Your Side Kits Collection Card Kit. And I’m sharing that with you today.
By Your Side was released into in the Kits Collection in early April. If you are a pet lover, you will ADORE this one! There are extra doggie and kitty die-cut images – 8 of each. So if you complete kit cards as intended you can make 8 cards AND still have 8 more animal images left over. It’s the perfect kit for creating and going beyond. And so I did that with just the addition of just some Basic Black Cardstock, an additional ink color, and envelopes. Instead of making just 8 cards, I made 16.
I thought it would be more fun to explain how to put these cards together in video format. So today I have for you another 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 of extra cardstock…
- Basic Black Cardstock
- (16) 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Measurements of kit supplies…
- Base layer from kit card bases
- (16) 4” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
- Inside layer from kit envelopes
- (16) ~2-3/4” x ~4-3/8”
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 four. Doing this with the other three sets of “kit cards,” you will end up with 16. You won’t see all 16 below…just the four variations.
Oh my goodness! This animals are so adorable. I had fun creating and sharing these cards. I hope you enjoyed what I shared! If you love cute dog and cat imagery or know of others who are loving pet owners, 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.

My next Online Paper Crafting Class will post this Wednesday, May 1st at 11 AM Central Time. Normally that’s when I go Live each week. But I’ll be vacationing and the class will be pre-recorded. I hope you can tune in! I think you’ll love the fun fold card I have to share.
So yes, Nick and I are at the airport heading to Mexico to get pampered on the incentive trip* I earned through Stampin’ Up! We will be at the Xcaret all-inclusive resort April 27-May 4 in the Playa Del Carmen area. I’m taking him as my guest this time because he’s a high school senior this year! My goodness time flies. We are really looking forward to being pampered and spoiled, trying fun foods, relaxing by the pool and ocean, zip-lining in the rainforest, swimming through caves, and more! I promise to take photos and share about our adventures when I get back.
Thank you for all you do to support me in my business. I appreciate you ALL and feel very blessed. ❤️
* Earning the incentive trip is something very few Stampin’ Up! demonstrators achieve—less than 1%, in fact! I’m so excited to be among the few that earned this getaway.
