One of the latest kit releases from Stampin’ Up!’s Kits Collection is the Expressions of Kindness Kit. And I have to tell you, it is one of THE most beautiful kits I’ve seen! The cards and envelopes have watercolor floral imagery in beautiful blues, greens, golds, and purples.
If following the kit directions, this kit creates four each of two different cards as you can see from the photo above. For my alternates (because I like to make something other than what the kit was intended to make) I “multiplied the kit.”
I took the supplies for the two different kit cards and envelopes, cut them into multiple pieces, added the pieces to Blackberry Bliss card bases, and produced eight cards! By doing this with the other card supplies, one could make 32 cards from the eight kit cards quadrupling the cards you can get from this Kits Collection kit!
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards. 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).
