I’ve added in another Online Paper Crafting Class today. And I’d like to invite you to join in. Today I’m sharing alternate cards I’ve created with the Brightest Birthday Kits Collection KitI
I love the challenge of getting more “bang for your buck.” So I’ve added Basic White cardstock and envelopes, cut and rearranged the elements and imagery from the kit, and came up with a way to create three times as many cards. Yippee!!
Watch my video here to get step-by-step directions for creating all of these cards (we go through one set of nine made from the kit pieces for three). Or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post. If you are catching this post right away, you might even be able to actually join in on the Live broadcast taking place at 10 AM Central Time!
Then after watching, scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and 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 check out my featured upcoming classes post on my Facebook Page to know when I share and go live).
