Share It Sunday - November 2023 - Alternative Cards From Best Destination Kit

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today I'm sharing an option to turn the 9 cards in the Best Destination kit into 27 or even 36 cards with minimal extra supplies. I am only using one card sample and the envelope for the card to show you 4 card ideas, but the same idea can be applied to the other card designs. 

Below are photos of what the kit contents look like. Check out the link to the unboxing video to see how they are put together. 


The cards are gorgeous as designed to be made! I love the sentiments/images in the stamp set as I anticipate I can use it in my scrapbooking vacation pages! 



The above photo does not show the full spread of the 3 card base designs, but when fully opened, there are 3 decorated panels, which when trimmed make 3 cards per card base. Additionally, if desired, you can fussy cut the images in the decorated envelops to create yet a 4th card as I have done.   


Aren't these beautiful?  Perfect for the wanderer in your life. The Meandering Meadow 6x6 DSP coordinates really well with this kit. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that it makes me happy when I can extend the life of kit supplies.
