I’m still in Houston at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage convention, but prerecorded an instructional video for how to more than double the cards you can get from the Panda Friends card kit. It’s such a fun kit with bright colors and playful images!
Panda Friends made it’s debut in the Kits Collection in early January. It’s a non-stamping kit, so it doesn’t come with stamps and ink…just consumables. So already at $14 US it’s quite affordable to purchase more than one if have the desire to make several cards with it. But I thought, why not change up the designs a bit to share options. And all of a sudden with just the addition of some Basic Black Cardstock, ribbon, envelopes and extra sentiments from outside stamp set images, I came up with designs that shifted this kit of 8 cards to a kit of 20 cards.
I thought it would be more fun to explain how to put these cards together in video format. So today I have for you a bonus Online Paper Crafting Class.
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 complete list of products (linked to where you can find them in my online store) that I used in my demonstration. Visit Stampin’ Up!’s Kit Collection by clicking here.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements for the extra supplies needed to make 20 cards…
Basic Black Cardstock
(8) 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to the short side at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2”
(8) 5-1/2” x 8” scored parallel to the short side in at 4-1/4”
(4) 5-1/2” x 5-1/4” scored parallel to the long side at 4-1/4”
Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon
(8) 14″
(8) 5-1/2″
(4) 16″ for knots or 21″ for tying bows
Here are photos of my finished cards. Remember in the video I share how to change the supplies from the two different “kit cards” into five. Then doing this with the other three sets of “kit cards,” you will end up with 20. So you won’t see all 20 below…just the variations AND some options if you decide to change things up.
These are the easel cards. You can get these two designs. from cutting up the 8-1/2″ wide slimline card into four pieces.
This is the card that shows off both sides of the pretty paper layer.
Remember you can flip over that inner panel to have a green layer or a polka-dot blue layer.
And these are the other two of the five designs.
The green layers can be wider or narrower.
And the stamp set I used for the additional images (Perennial Postage) has many sentiments that will work with the different layouts of these cards. This is just an example of the ones that fit into this hexagonal window of the pink cards.
If you run out of that gingham ribbon, you can use other. I grabbed up my Silver & White Sheer Ribbon for the remainder of my cards.
Because I DID end up creating all 20 cards after recording my video.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared! If you love cute animal imagery OR are a panda bear fan (or know of others who are), you’ll want to grab up this kit. Remember online-only products like the kits from the Kits Collection and the Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.

I shared two cards recently using the Layering Leaves Stamp Set images in unique and creative ways. The “flower on a stump easel card” I shared on March 10th. And the “bunny & carrots card” I shared on March 12. I knew I wanted to share one of them for today’s pre-recorded Wednesday Online Paper Crafting Class (I’m in Houston at a Stampin’ Up!® convention right now), but I couldn’t decide between the two cards. So I decided to share both in the video and then posts previews, measurements, and supply lists beforehand.
Either one of these is much easier to share directions, tips and tricks in video format. So I’m glad I did it this way. 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). Then visit my March 10th and March 12th posts to scroll through the close-up photos, access the measurements & supply lists, and even download the reference PDF sheets.

Did you know that you can create bunnies and carrots with the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Bough Punch? I added in a sentiment from the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set and the large egg die from the Excellent Eggs Dies to get this sweet bunny rabbit card. Change out the sentiment to get a baby card, an Easter card, a happy Spring card, and more.
I made quite a few of these.
And I brought 80 of them with me to Houston today.
I’ll be at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event, our big yearly convention for the next several days. These cards will be my swap cards. And of course I had to create something that featured my Layering Leaves Stamp Set in a fun and creative way, right? Now my hope is that this set will remain in the Annual Catalog for another year. I’ll find out in a couple days when the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog is revealed to all of us demonstrators attending.
I don’t have directions for you today, but tomorrow you’ll be able to access my how-to video. Make sure you are subscribed to my blog and/or my YouTube channel so you get notifications for when I share and post.

I love the Textured Timber images, purchased the set right away, and was inspired to create this card shown here which I also paired with the Layering Leaves stamp set.
The flower petals come from one of the Layering Leaves leaf branch images! Fun, right?
And it’s an easel card (the reason for the slit on the inside layer).

My 9-year-old niece stopped by this weekend to drop off our Girl Scout cookies we had ordered. She loves the band Blackpink and was dressed in a sweatshirt with their name. And so even though her birthday isn’t until August, I had her in mind when I created today’s card.
I knew I wanted to feature the guitar. But I also really wanted a large vinyl record in the background. Stampin’ Up! doesn’t sell smooth circle dies that are this large. But I figured it out. And it just took a bit of fussy cutting.
I added pinks for the accent colors, but this card can be altered for someone YOU have in mind simply by switching out the inks. (You’ll see examples of that in the video AND in the photos below.)
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating this fun “vinyl & strings” birthday card with the Rock & Roll Suite of other coordinating Stampin’ Up! products. 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.
Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements …
Basic Black Cardstock
5-1/2” x 11” scored parallel to the short at 4-1/4”
Scrap that measures 4-1/2” x 4-1/2”
Basic White Cardstock
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting guitar
Scrap for stamping and cutting out rock star sentiment
2” diameter circle
Holographic Foil Paper
(4) 1/2” x 5-1/2”
Scrap for die-cutting stars
Rock & Roll Designer Paper
(2) 4” x 5-1/2”
Here are photos! This is the original…the one I made before my demonstration.
This is the one I created during the demonstration. You can see the top of the vinyl record on this one only extends to the edge of the designer paper to show off more of the holographic foil.
And the guitars are different. The card I demonstrated features pink rhinestones and a white highlight.
These are the other two versions of this card showing off purples and yellows instead of pinks. The ink I used for these are listed below the main supply list.
Can you see the shimmer on the pick guard (the dark center face of the guitar) and record label?
And this is what the inside of the card looks like on my first one. It’s a fun designer paper print!
