how I altered the supplies from the Garden of Thanks Kits Collection kit to get double the cards by just adding extra cardstock and a few other Stampin’ Up!® products. And half of the cards are Accordion Fun Fold cards! Y
Did you know that two new kits are released into Stampin’ Up!’s Kits Collection each month? One of the latest kit releases is the Garden of Thanks Kit. The colors, imagery, and designs are quite pretty to help one say thanks in the most beautiful way.
If following the kit directions, this kit creates three each of three different cards (you can see these layouts from the photo above). For my alternates (because I like to make something other than what the kit was intended to make) I “doubled the kit.”
I took the supplies for the three different kit cards, cut them into pieces, added in extra cardstock, and produced six cards – 3 regular and 3 accordion fun fold card! By doing this with the other card supplies, one could make 18 cards from the nine kit cards doubling 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.
