Forever Friends Kit Alternate Cards

Aug 2, 2023 | Cards, Kits Collection, video | 0 comments

Forever Friends Kit – Alternate Cards

The Forever Friends kit is part of the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection and is on sale this month – August 2023.  Below I’m going to share some cards that I made using the stamp set and additional supplies from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

After you complete the cards in the kit you still have the stamp set left – and the ink spot.  I decided to make some alternate cards using the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper and other supplies from the annual catalog.  I copied one card design from the kit and then create two more. In the video I’ll share with you how I split the Bordered Ribbon into 3 sections – and then used one on each card.

This was originally my Facebook Live from 7/17/2023 on my At Monika’s Place page. I’ve also uploaded it to YouTube for you to view there – see the link below.

Supply List

These are supplies that I used to complete this project – click HERE to add these to your shopping cart:

  • Forever Friends Kit
  • Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper
  • Card stock: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Lost Lagoon
  • Ink: Black Memento Ink, Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon
