Stampin’ Up! Kerchief Card Kit

I received the Kerchief Card Kit as one of my free Sale-a-bration items, and I love it! The designs are so pretty and it was super easy to put together.
Kerchief-Card-Kit-1The kit contains all of the pieces needed to create eight full-size cards with matching pre-printed envelopes!  The gold foil accents and vellum backgrounds add the perfect touch.Kerchief-Card-KitThe kit includes:
8 printed card bases
8 printed envelopes
Printed die-cut accents
Gold foil leaves
Vellum accents
Twine
Stampin’ Up! Dimensionals and adhesive dots
*The greetings include German and French options as well.

 I have a couple of helpful tips for you when putting this kit together…

1.  Always try and hide your adhesive when using vellum. So on the gold polka dot piece, you can put the adhesive dots behind a few gold dots and you won’t be able to see them from the front. On the plain vellum piece, you’ll have to put adhesive dots more in the center so they will be hidden behind your label element on the front. Does that sense?

2.  Build all your elements together before putting them on the card. So on the Coastal Cabana card for example, you will put your leaves on top of the navy oval with adhesive dots, add your twine bow behind the navy oval, and add the flower die-cut with dimensionals and THEN put the whole piece on your card.

3.  The twine bow will be a little bulky, so only put dimensionals towards the top of your element to balance out the height of your piece.

The cards are really quite simple to put together, but I found those few things were important to pass on to you. I hope you find that helpful.

This Kerchief Card Kit will be perfect for you to make up and have on hand. I am collecting a few of these myself to take with me on vacation. I always like to carry cards with me…you never know when you’ll need one.

A Little Love

I love hearts all year round, so when February rolls around I’m extra happy!

I decorate my bulletin board…
HeartsI make the work stations look pretty…
Hearts-1And my classes are filled with heart projects. This first one is a shaker card created by one of my super talented leaders Sherry Roth.
Hey-Love-2And the inside looks like this…
Hey-Love-3Lots of new supplies were used to make this adorable card:
Stamp Sets – Hey Love (Occasions Catalogue), and Lined Alphabet (Annual Catalogue)
Cardstock – Thick White, Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo
Framelits – Be Mine Stitched Framelits (Occasions)
Embossing Folder – Tufted
Embellishments/Accessories – All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack & Heart Epoxy Droplets (Occasions)

To make the shaker card I adhered a piece of window sheet behind the heart opening. Then I lined the heart opening with our Foam Adhesive Strips. The filler is a bunch of hearts that came out of the multi mini heart framelit. I used Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo, and the brand new Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets (Sale-a-bration).

The stinkin’ sweet skunk was stamped in Memento Black Ink and colored in with Smoky Slate and Flirty Flamingo Blends.

The second one used the Meant to Be stamp set and coordinating Be Mine Framelits again.
Meant-to-Be-3There is one heart in that set that only stitches, so I used it on the navy background. Here’s a close-up.
Meant-to-Be-4For the third project, I tried to provide a card that used hearts but wasn’t necessarily for Valentines Day. This card idea came from Brenda Nelson and I immediately fell in love with it.
Amazing-Life-1It even incorporates some of the Organdy Ribbon from the Sale-a-bration offerings.
Supplies for this card:
Stamp Set – Amazing Life (Occasions)
Cardstock – Whisper White and Balmy Blue
Punch – Bitty Blooms Punch Pack (Occasions)
Embellishments/Accessories – Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Organdy Ribbon (SAB), White Baker’s Twine, Rhinestones

All of the supplies used to make these projects can be ordered through my online store HERE.
