Have you seen the adorable Frog & Friends Kits Collection Kit? It’s a kit that creates three different classic cup-and-ball games – two of each, and it was developed with kids in mind. Well, the characters are stinkin’ adorable. So I had to get it to see if I could turn the supplies into cards. And I’m proud to say I did just that.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating pocket cards with this Frog & Friends Kits Collection Kit, a bit of extra cardstock, some envelopes, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® tools and supplies. 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 or tune into my events on my Facebook Page 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.

Measurements of extra cardstock per card…
- Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/2” x 3-1/4”
- Scrap for punching 3/8” circle (for shark and fish cards)
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 2-5/8” x 3-3/8”
- Scrap for punching 1/4” circle (for shark and fish cards)
Here are photos of the finished cards. This frog one was the easiest to make and worked well with the folds that were already in the frog body.
The shark card was also fairly easy to make, but required an adjustment with the tail and the back eye.
The fancy fish one probably needed the most adjustments. The tail is a bit shorter to fit the envelope, too. But I think it still looks pretty darn cute.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

thank you for the tutorial for the pocket cards for Frog & Friends. Now that I have this option, I’ll be more likely to purchase the Kit! Appreciate your posts, Rachel!
Glad you enjoyed the pocket cards I shared, Gayle. Thanks!
Your alternatives for this kit are absolutely fabulous! Just made them all and can’t wait to send them to my grandsons. I like them better than the games you can make with them. Thank you
Aww…thanks Elaine! Glad you enjoyed my take on the kit.
