Here are the intended cards designed for this April 2024 Delicate Wings kit. (Click here for Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
I’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on April 26th and on April 24th. Be sure to visit to see those creations.
Today I am sharing…
- A Chocolate Nugget Treat Holder
- AND… a 12×12 scrapbook page layout
Chocolate Nugget Treat Holder
I was inspired by a gift I received from fellow demonstrator, Theresa Gloe. I took her measurements and made a version using this kit! It was so fun and easy to make, too.
But I thought it was easiest to show the initial measurements, cuts, folds, and assembly with video instruction. So on Wednesday, I added that at the end of my Online Paper Crafting Class.
Watch my video starting around the 40 minute mark first by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post). Then scroll down for the full list of measurements and to see close-up photos.
Measurements…
- Basic White Cardstock
- 3-1/2″ x 9-3/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 1-1/4″, 3-1/4″, 4-1/2″, 6-1/2″, 7-1/8″ and 9-1/8″ then scored parallel to the long side at 1-1/4″ and 2-1/4″
- 1/2″ x 1-1/4″
- Lost Lagoon (blue) & gold butterfly paper (from the kit card base)
- (2) 1″ x 1-7/8”
- Basic Beige (beige) & gold butterfly paper (from two kit envelope flaps)
- (4) 1″ x 3″
- (2) 7/8″ x 1-7/8″
- (2) 7/8″ x 1-1/8″
After assembling the treat holder, add the Basic Beige layers to the sides of the box and around the chocolate nugget candies. Add the Lost Lagoon layers to both top sides of the middle section. Stamp and add the sentiment layer. Then embellish with a few kit butterflies. Add the wrapped candies and give to someone you love! So sweet, right? (pun intended)
12×12 scrapbook Page Layout
The pages with this month’s kit look like they could be lifted off my table top. I couldn’t stop adding the pretty butterflies! Hahaha 🦋
Measurements…
- Pool Party Cardstock
- (2) 12″ x 12″
- Basic Gray Cardstock
- (3) 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
- 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
- 5-3/8″ x 7-3/8″
- 3-7/8″ x 7-1/8″
- Gold flecked card base from the kit
- (3) 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
- 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″
- 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″
- Basic Gray and gold butterflies card base from the kit
- 2-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
- 2-1/4″ x 3-7/8″
- 2-5/8″ x 3-7/8″
- Champagne foil from the kit
- Scrap for die-cutting 6-sided stitched label
- Basic Beige envelope from the kit
- Scrap for stamping then punching 1-3/4″ Circle
This photo below shows where my mind went first when I started creating the pages. I love that layer from the kit with two butterflies and wanted to build around that with more knowing that I would make the blue one 3-D by die-cutting it with the coordinating dies from the Thanks & Beyond Dies. I also imagined the bottom right area would be where I would place my title.
I transfered this over to my 12×12 cardstock base and added a couple stamped butterflies and photo mat layers. You can see the blue butterfly here is die-cut and reattached just in the center so the wings fold up a bit. I also added a few of the butterflies with Dimensionals to create depth and shadow.
I couldn’t stop with just those few butterflies, so I added the Basic Gray card base as designer paper. It’s really 3 small pieces but there is the illusion that it’s one long strip. The speckle stamp image added a bit more “texture.” So I added it here and there. And the title layers I added with Dimensionals as well.
I realize that the gold speckled photo mats may get covered once I add in my photos. But I may add slightly smaller photos so some of the foiled areas are still visible.
This kit was so much fun to create with!
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.
