City Sights is one of the newer kits in Stampin’ Up!’s Kits Collection. I love the whole watercolor downtown look and feel of these cards. So I purchased one and had to play!
I rearranged the parts and pieces and came up with a way to expand the number of cards you can get from this kit simply by adding some extra cardstock, envelopes, and sentiment images. I came up with a way to turn two kit cards into five. And doing this with the whole kit will turn all eight cards into 20! Below is a complete list of products I used. And each of them are linked to where you can find them in my online store.
This kit comes with adhesives, but I added regular Dimensionals in my supply list. These larger ones can be easier to work with and extra Dimensionals may be needed when making more cards with a kit. I added Multipurpose Liquid Glue because this adhesive will be easier to apply to thin strips. I added Seal Adhesive because it’s quicker to apply than the Tear & Tape adhesive that comes in the kit. And making 20 cards instead of 8 may require more than the kit’s tape roll provides. One more thing to note is that though the kit comes with stamps and ink, this kit doesn’t come with any sentiment stamps. The words (with multiple language choices) are on punched out circle and banner pieces. That is the reason I added in the Simply Said Stamp Set. But you could really use any word image stamps you may have on hand.
Initial measurements for five cards made from the supplies of two… Quadruple this to complete the whole kit.
Pebbled Path Cardstock
Five 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ pieces scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Kit card bases
Each cut to two 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ pieces
Directions for turning two kit cards (one of each) into five cards…
After cutting two card bases down to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ (to get four card front layers), I cut the edges off (about 1/16″) the two envelopes so i could open them up and have more usable printed paper. I cut each of those larger envelope layers down to get two 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ layers. The blue one I used for another card front layer. The other one I cut in half for two inside panels. And from the envelope flaps I cut them down to squares about 2-5/8″ x 2-5/8″ each (which I used for two inside panels).
So here are the first two designs outside and in.
The “thanks” on the first card is stamped on the back side of a Dutch, French or German sentiment circle. There were no Dimensionals used on this first card.
For the second card I added the speckled image off to the right/middle. The ink was lighter because I first stamped the speckled image onto scrap paper. Then I added the stamped city scene piece with Dimensionals. I glued on the dark blue corrugated thin strip (from the remains of the punched out blue corrugated banner sheet) to the white banner. And then I added the banner and happy birthday” circle with Dimensionals.
Here are the second two designs.
The “miss you” on the top card is stamped on the back/white side of a Dutch, French or German sentiment circle, And I used another Dutch, French or German sentiment circle for a shadow layer underneath. I added this to the French banner covering up the words. I added it the printed layer with Dimensionals. And then I add the printed layer to the card base.
For the other card I added the punched out negative piece behind (white on white) and attached with Dimensionals to create a city skyline with depth. Then I added this to the lower left on the blue envelope layer using the small kit Dimensionals on the outer edge. I added the sentiment banner. Then I glued on two pieces of dark blue corrugated thin strip (from the remains of the punched out blue corrugated banner sheet) just above the sentiment banner but back against the envelope base layer. I trimmed off the excess and attached to my card base.
This is the 5th card that I made from the supplies of just two. (Follow these directions with all the kit supplies and you can get 20 cards from one kit.)
On this last card I stamped the city scene. Then I simply added the dark blue corrugated strip and the white banner that I had already stamped. There are no Dimensionals on this card.
I used what was left over from the two envelopes to form a hexagon interior layer on this card. OH! And don’t forget to add those pretty embellishments!

Before Sale-a-Bration ends on Thursday, I wanted to share some fun cards I made with the Trusty Toolbox Designer Paper. This paper pack is one of the Sale-a-Bration free picks with a $50 order. And it coordinates so nicely with the Trusty Tools Stamp Set and Trusty Tools Dies (which can be purchased in a bundle to save 10%). The stamps and dies aren’t going away yet…just the designer paper.
This first card I made with cut-out images from the paper, a couple images from the stamp set, a couple ink colors, and the letter S die-cut with the Mini Alphabet Dies from a scrap of black cardstock.
I used a Blending Brush to add Crushed Curry Ink to the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White Cardstock layer. Then I positioned the saws how I thought they looked best but didn’t stick them down yet. I stamped the “nuts and screw” image and the sentiment (leaving room for the S) with Tuxedo Black ink. Next I added the saws starting with the back one first. That one I added flat with Seal Adhesive. Then I added the circular saw blade with Dimensionals. And then I added the top saw with Dimensionals. Finally I glued on the letter S and added this whole layer to the folded Basic White card base (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ folded in half at 4-1/4″).
FYI…The Basic White Cardstock bases and layers are the same size in all three cards.
Of course there are images in this designer paper that pair up with the dies in the bundle. So for my other two cards I moved away from fussy cutting and die-cut tape measures, pencils, and a paintbrush.
This second card is full of sparkle! And you have to be willing to give up quite a few embellishments to make it. I think I added 27 rhinestones, gems and pearls to this thank you card. Feel free to count them and correct me if I’m wrong though.
On this one I added a strip of 1″ x 5-1/4″ Pool Party Cardstock that I had punched with the Banners Pick-a-Punch and stamped with Tuxedo Black ink. Then I attached the paintbrush using Seal Adhesive at the brush end and a Mini Dimensional at the handle end. Lastly I used the Take Your Pick Tool and added the Pretty Peacock Blooming Pearls, the Balmy Blue Iridescent Pastel Gems, and the Rhinstones (which I had colored beforehand with the Lost Lagoon Dark Blends Marker).
My last card was inspired by a design I saw from my demonstrator friend, Lorri Heiling. (Thanks Lorri!) She took the tool images and formed the word “dAd.” I just had to try it. And this is my result. Isn’t it fun!?
I hope my dad doesn’t see this post, because I think this is the card I need to give him this June for Father’s Day.
I used a Blending Brush on the white layer like I had on my first card, but this time I used Pool Party ink. I made sure that my blue flowed from the top left to the bottom right so the soft color would bring focus to the sentiment in the upper left and the “dAd” in the lower right.
The pencils and tape measures I cut from the designer paper which is leaving us in just a few days – end of February. But if you miss out, you could stamp, color, and die-cut these same images using the stamps, dies, and Blends Markers.
In fact you could even make these tools match your dad’s favorite color or the actual colors of his tools. (I’ve listed all the Blends Markers I used below in my Product List.)
After die-cutting the pencils and tape measures, I die-cut the nuts and screw from a scrap of Holographic Foil Paper. Then I die-cut a 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Pecan Pie Cardstock twice to get the peg board. And I cut the red pencil into two pieces so I could hide the cut behind the first tape measure to make it appear longer.
I punched then stamped a 1/2″ by 3-1/4″ strip of Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink for the sentiment and started assembling.
First I adde the peg board with Mini Dimensionals. Then I glued on the sentiment and nuts and screw. Finally I glued on the tools to form the word “dAd.”
By the way if you want, you can put together even more tools by just using the dies. It’s a fun collection of coordinating products. And I don’t want you to miss out on that paper if you think you might use it.
Hugs to you! Thanks for stopping by.

I couldn’t help myself. It’s such a fun bundle AND I had left-over supplies. So I made one more version of the Simply Sparkling cards that I shared back on December 27th.
Sorry the post is a short one today, but I just wanted to share photos of my additional lemon soda card.

We have a fun new bundle of products in the Online Exclusives… The Simply Sparkling Stamp Set and Dies. I paired this bundle of products together with some items that will be debuting on January 4th in Stampin’ Up!’s Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog to make some fun and trendy greeting cards!
With the Silver Foil Specialty Paper recently sold out and the Holographic Specialty Paper currently unavailable in the US market, I decided to look into other ways to create a metallic look for the soda/pop can images. One way is to color creatively with Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers. And another way is to add Enamel Effects (a big thank you to fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Kylie Bertucci for sharing her fun Simply Sparkling cards recently that encouraged me to play around with the effects).
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these metallic effects with these fun Stampin’ Up!® product. 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 wanted to show off every bit of that paper that I could on one card without converting back to an accordion card or my 3-Panel Scenery Z-Fold. So I started looking through my swaps and gifted cards for inspiration. And ta-da!! Thanks to Michelle Carlson’s Joy Fold swap card and a bit of math, I was able to get started.
I made one and then kept going… eventually creating a Joy Fold card with every paper design in the pack. Some are made with one full sheet to keep the beautiful scenery intact. Some are made like a traditional Joy Fold card, using a couple patterns per card. And now if I just create 3 more of each I will have used up my whole pack of designer paper AND I’ll be set with 48 Christmas/winter cards!
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards with the Brightest Glow Stamp Set, the Layering Leaves Stamp Set, and that new One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 Designer Paper. 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.
