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.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

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.

*Disclaimer: less than 1% of demonstrators achieve the incentive trip
I’d like to introduce you to a fun new bundle called Gone Fishing.
The stamps and dies focus on bait and tackle!
To me one of the fun parts about going fishing is organizing and sorting all those lures, sinkers, spoons, hooks, bobbers, etc in the tackle box. In fact when I was younger I think I enjoyed looking in the compartments of my tackle box more than holding the rod and waiting for fish to bite. And when I was even younger I remember my sister and I each had tackle boxes just for our art supplies and other entertaining toys and games. We’d open them up and play with everything on our 4 hour-long rides to the cabin most summer weekends.
So needless to say, I was inspired and had to purchase and create with this bundle.
Today I’d like to share with you step-by-step directions for a Father’s Day themed pop-up tackle box card using this bundle and a few other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® products. You can watch my how-to video by clicking on this image below if you are already on my blog post or by clicking here to view it directly on YouTube. Then 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.
