Floral Promenade Kit

Posted on by
Reply

The Floral Promenade Kit is a beautiful way to create floral handmade cards, and I recently featured it during my Friday Facebook Live.

What made this project extra fun was seeing how many cards I could create by using the original kit. The kit was designed to make 8 cards, with 4 each of 2 designs, but I managed to create 12 cards in total!

I love finding ways to get more from my crafting supplies, and this was a great opportunity to mix the kit with some of my favourite Stampin’ Up! products.

I’ve uploaded my Facebook Live replay to YouTube so you can watch the process and see how I created these cards.

In the video, I share the cards I made and show how I used additional cardstock, ink, stamps and dies to extend the original kit. Look at all those beautiful floral cards! I love the combination of the pretty flower designs, the neutral kraft-style backgrounds and the bold sentiments.

The original kit provides a wonderful starting point, but by adding a few extra supplies, I was able to create more variety in the layouts and make 12 cards instead of the 8 included in the kit.

I recently shared the Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit during my Facebook Live on Friday, 19 June, and it reminded me why I love Stampin’ Up! workshop kits so much.

As someone who enjoys preserving memories but doesn’t always have hours to spend designing layouts from scratch, these workshop kits make scrapbooking so much easier. Everything is designed to coordinate beautifully, allowing me to focus on what matters most – documenting the stories and photos that I want to remember.

The nature-inspired colours and imagery in this collection make it perfect for outdoor adventures, family memories, holidays, walks in nature, camping trips and everyday moments worth preserving.

Why I Love the Scrapbooking Workshop Kits

One of the biggest challenges with scrapbooking can be deciding where to start. Choosing papers, colours, embellishments and layout designs can sometimes feel overwhelming.

That’s why I love workshop kits.

The planning has already been done for you, with coordinated products and layout designs that work together beautifully. This means I can spend less time designing and more time actually getting my photos onto pages.

For me, that means more completed albums and more memories preserved.

I particularly enjoyed the natural feel of this collection and how easy it was to create coordinated layouts without needing to spend hours planning.

Happy crafting,
