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.
