What did you choose for your freebie(s) when you ordered recently during this current Sale-a-Bration promotion? If you picked the Rainbow Celebrations Kit, then check out what I did with my card pieces to “double the kit.” First I’ll share what I did with a set of supplies for one of the cards. And then I’ll share the end results with all sets of supplies for the three different style cards. (Following these steps for each set of supplies will allow you to get double the amount of cards from this kit! Too fun!)
Trim the rainbow card base in half. Trim 3/16″ off each side of the envelope.
Open the envelope and cut at the fold. Then score the larger piece as shown at 5-1/2.”
Cut that into two equal pieces (cut at just under 2-3/4.”)
Trim 3/16″ off each side of the other envelope layer. Then rotate and cut as shown at 3-3/8.” Cut this piece in 1/2 at 2-1/2.”
Cut the coordinating dotted arched layer and the cloud layer in half.
Connect each envelope cloud layer piece to a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Basic Black Cardstock (center-aligned) by folding and wrapping the top blue sections over to adhere to the back of the black bases.
Then add the dotted arched layers. (I used Mini Dimensionals. But you could cut the kit Dimensionals to make them smaller.)
Connect the clouds with Dimensionals and the sentiments with Glue Dots.
Here is a peek at the back of the cards when closed and when open.
For the insides, adhere the smaller white envelope layers about 1/8″ from the top and centered.
Then adhere the solid colored half arch layer about 1/8″ from the bottom, centered, and aligned with the white layer.
And here they are finished! (1 of 3 rainbow cards)
(2 of 3 rainbow cards)
(3 of 3 rainbow cards)

I just hosted a card swap, and one of the cards in this swap inspired me. I decided it would be great for this Mystery Stamping event! If you’ve never seen a mystery stamping presentation before, it’s a lot of fun. You create with the supplies in your craft room by following a series of step-by-step clues that are put before you.
So go into your crafting space, play the video below (or click HERE if you do not see the video), and follow my “clues” to try to create something similar to this style card from the swap. Then scroll down to see samples of finished versions of this fun fold card that I made. Thanks for tuning in! Okay…Get ready for some mystery stamping!
I’m assuming if you are scrolling down that you have watched the video. Wasn’t that fun?! I shared five finished card samples in the video. Below are photos of 4 of them – the ones I created.
By the way…the supply list at the end of this post includes some of the main products featured in the cards. These items are linked to where you can find them in my online store. I didn’t list adhesives and tools like I usually do.
Here are the clues I shared in the video.
Clue #1: This will be a landscape style card with the opening at the bottom. Materials to gather…
Designer/Patterned Paper (from the same pack)
A more subtle pattern
2-1/4” high x 5-3/8” wide (6 cm high x 14.5 cm wide)
A more dominate pattern
4-1/4” high x 2-1/4” wide (10.5 cm high x 5.7 cm wide)
Base cardstock (that coordinates with both patterned papers AND blends in well with the subtle one)
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” (14.8 cm x 21 cm)
Light neutral cardstock
4” x 5-1/4” (9.9 cm x 14.2 cm)
2-7/8” x 4-1/8” (7.2 cm x 11.5 cm)
Darker cardstock (that coordinates with both patterned papers)
4-1/8” x 5-3/8” (10.2 x 14.5 cm)
3” x 4-1/4” (7.5 cm x 11.8 cm)
½” x 6-1/4” (1.2 cm x 16.2 cm)
Trimmer w/scoring blade
Bone Folder
Snips
Dimensionals
Other Adhesives
Stamps & Ink
Embellishments
Clue #2: Grab your 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” (14.8 cm x 21 cm) card base piece. Score parallel to the short side at 4-1/4” (10.5 cm). Then fold (use a Bone Folder to help) and rotate this folded base so it’s positioned landscape style with the opening at the bottom.
Clue #3: Measure and mark (with a pencil) the ½-way point on the front right edge. Mark the lower left corner. Open the card base and cut that front from one mark to the other. Pull away that triangular layer. Do not flip it over but rotate it so the once “lower right corner” is now in the lower left corner and the straight edges line up with the left and bottom edges of the folded card once again. This is how this piece will attach eventually, but first we need to add designer/patterned papers and the half-inch strip.
Clue #4: Adhere the more dominant patterned paper to this triangular layer leaving a narrow bit (~1/16”) of cardstock exposed on the left and bottom edges. Trim off the excess patterned paper that isn’t attached to the triangular layer. Adhere the longest edge of this triangular piece atop the ½” wide strip exposing just a narrow bit (1-16” or 1/8”) of the strip all the way along that edge. Be sure this strip extends a bit beyond the triangles corners.
Clue #5: Adhere the more subtle patterned paper to the to the top front of the card base leaving a narrow bit (~1/16”) of cardstock exposed on the left, top and right edges. Trim off the excess patterned paper extending past that initial diagonal cut.
Clue #6: Attach the layered triangular piece into place lining up the corners and the left and bottom edges. Trim off any cardstock & paper extending beyond the 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” (10.5 cm x 14.8 cm) folded card base.
Clue #7: Adhere the darker cardstock pieces into place: the 4-1/8” x 5-3/8” (10.2 x 14.5 cm) to the inside bottom half of the open card base & the 3” x 4-1/4” (7.5 cm x 11.8 cm) centered in the middle (with Dimensionals) on the front of the folded card base. Be careful where you place your Dimensionals.
Clue #8: Stamp your white layers. Add them to the darker cardstock layers. And embellish to finish your card!
And here are four of the finished cards.

I love altering kits. But the Perpetual Beauty Calendar kit was one that I wanted to recreate as instructed. I absolutely LOVE it! So what am sharing today? Well, there were a few leftover pieces after assembling the calendar. And today I’m sharing with you what I created with those pieces. I’m also sharing tips that will make creating your calendar a bit easier. And I thought I’d show you another option if you want to use the kit leaf images for cards and make your perpetual calendar a little more focused on a “celebrations” theme.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago my tips and instruction for all these ideas using the contents of the kit and a bit of other coordinating 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 of the cards that follow, check out the measurements & products list below for those cards, 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 product list for the extra cards I demonstrated. And scroll further down for a complete list of products I featured in this video linked to where you can shop for them in my online store.
