I’m a huge fan of Stampin’ Up!’s hybrid embossing folders. These unique folders allow you to both emboss and die cut at the same time. But when I discovered that the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle also created shaped cards, I was sold. Find this bundle in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2025 Mini Catalog.
Measurements and Details
Aren’t these cards super cute? Here are a few details to help you make this at home.
Stampin’ Up! designed its Basic White Note Cards and Envelopes to use with the shape-maker die. (Receive 20 precut and scored note cards and envelopes for just $10).
Fold the note card in half, place the die on top of both layers, lining up the top of the die just above the folded note card. Be sure to watch the video below to see exactly how this works.
Choose an patterned paper and cut it to 5 x 3 1/2. I used the Floral Delight 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
Place the die cut on the patterned paper to get the butterfly layer.
Glue the Designer Series Paper to the white note card. I found that using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue gave me time to get the die cut straight on the card.
Die cut the label, included in the dies you receive.
With a Blending Brush, apply a light layer of Daffodil Delight ink on the label.
Stamp the sentiment with Memento Black ink.
Tie a bow in 9 inches of the 1/8″ Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon. Add to card front.
Layer the sentiment, with Stampin’ Dimensionals, over the top of the ribbon.
Add Daffodil Delight gems from the Glossy Dots Assortment.

This kit is striking as is, but here I added some Gold Thread and gold Low Profile Dots.
Do you ever look for card-making projects already designed and cut? Have you needed a quick and easy card to get in the mail right away? Would you like to take your card making on the road? Do you need a fun and fairly priced gift idea? Don’t have a lot of space to store craft supplies? I believe Stampin’ Up!’s Kit Collection ticks all those boxes.
These all-inclusive kits come with everything you need in one 9 x 6 box to complete the project. The collection includes a host of themes–from birthday, to thank you, to home decor, gift packaging and more. Some require stamping, and some don’t. Take a peek at the collection by clicking here.
Today, I share the Thank You Kindly kit. Before tax and shipping, it costs just $14 and yields eight striking cards. Right after Christmas, I made one of these kits as is and sent out thank you notes. Quick and easy!
Here’s a picture of one each of the cards made exactly as the directions state.
One each of the cards created according to directions.
The picture featured at the top of the post shows cards I “stepped up” with Gold Twisted Thread and the gold Low Profile Dots.
I also feel the simplicity of the cards’ designs lends itself to sentiments in addition to thank you. Below, I share two cards that I converted to anniversary and sympathy using the Mixed Labels Cling Stamp Set and a little bit of gold heat embossing.

From my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I offer this Facebook Live replay showing you how this kit comes together as well as the alternative samples.
I’m using Stampin’ Up!’s Kits Collection to raise funds for a local nonprofit that’s supporting students at a junior high. Read about my Kits for Carson’s Kids event by clicking here. In a nutshell, during April, I’ll donate a minimum of $5 per kit to the project that provides the students with basic hygiene supplies such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, and deodorant.
Thank you for stopping by today! Please let me know if you have any questions about the kits or my Kits for Carson’s Kids fundraiser.

I’m volunteering with KIDS Kindness Org., a local nonprofit that works to foster kindness in kids and provide fun and engaging service projects. For the next year, this organization aims to support the students at Carson Junior High in Mesa with Kindness Kits. A large portion of the kids lack even the most basic resources. The donated kits contain personal hygiene products (toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, body wash, etc.) as well as snacks and other small items.
Will you help me help them? Throughout the month of April, I’m hosting a fundraiser called Kits for Carson’s Kids. Here are some ways you can assist:
Purchase a Kit Online
Purchase any all-inclusive kit from Stampin’ Up!’s Kits Collection from my online store. I’ll donate a minimum of $5 per kit sold to KIDS Kindness to support Carson Junior High and the Kindness Kits project. Click here to check out all of the kits.
Do you live local and want to save on shipping? Contact me ([email protected]) to purchase the kit and pick up at my home in East Mesa.
Kit Together Event
Attend a special Kit Together from 6 to 8 p.m., Monday, April 14, at my home in Mesa. I’ll have a large selection of available kits from which to choose. I’ll donate a minimum of $5 per kit sold. Take your kit to go or stay and create it with others. No experience necessary. You don’t even need to be crafty. Some kits entail no stamping, where others include a stamp set and mini ink pad.
Bring a donation of personal hygiene supplies such as toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, body wash, and shampoo and I’ll enter your name into a prize drawing.
Please RSVP so I can have enough kits on hand. Or request a special kit by looking at the collection online. Click here.
Please contact me if you have questions. I’m so excited about this Kits for Carson’s Kids fundraiser. It’s one way I can help make a difference for our youth. I appreciate any support you can provide.
Thank you,
Kim

While in Raleigh, North Carolina, for Stampin’ Up!’s annual demonstrator gathering, I received a host of really fun swap cards. See that video by clicking here.
I really love a card I received from Cindy Westerink of Michigan. It uses a cutting technique I haven’t tried before. Today, I want to share that with you.
Here’s a look at Cindy’s card. She uses the awesome new Botanical Textures Suite Collection.
You can use this angle cut with a variety of patterned papers, card stock, rubber stamps, and dies. And, this technique helps you create three quick and easy cards. In addition, it shows off your pretty patterned paper and encourages you use your stash!
