Beautiful Blues Designed Cards & Creative Inspiration

If you love the ease of a kit but still enjoy adding your own creative spin, you’re going to love today’s project. I’m sharing a closer look at the Beautiful Blues Kit from Stampin’ Up!’s Kits Collection, along with one of the many cards I created using the kit elements as inspiration.

The Beautiful Blues Kit comes with everything you need to create beautiful, coordinated cards right out of the box:

  • Beautiful Blues Exclusive Photopolymer Stamp Set
  • Clear Stamp Block
  • Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Spot
  • 9 printed card bases and matching envelopes
  • Precut Paper Pieces & Dot Embellishments
  • Adhesive

The kit includes instructions to create three card designs (you can make 3 each of 3 designs), and they’re beautiful just as they are. The rich blues, floral details, and thoughtful sentiments make these perfect for thank you, encouragement, and sympathy cards. I crafted these following the instructions. I love how they turned out.

After making the cards as designed, I couldn’t resist creating something a little different using the kit elements as my starting point. For this fun fold card I used one of the print card bases in place of Designer Series Paper. I cut a 1″ strip off of the right side and adhered them to a Secret Sea card base. The 1″ strip is actually on the inside of my card along with a piece of Basic White cardstock.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed seeing both the cards as designed and my fun fold alternatives card.

  • Secret Sea card base: 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″, Score on the long side at 3-1/4″
  • Beautiful Blues card base: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
  • Basic White cardstock (inside panel): 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″

Happy Stamping!
