Some Card Ideas for the new Spring Flutter Kit!

I finally got a chance to play with the new Spring Flutter Kit and it is scrummy. It's packed with papers, stickers, buttons, ribbons and loads more, costs €19.00 and if you mix it with some coordinating cardstock it'll be enough to create loads of cards and layouts.

I teamed it with some Colorcore Cardstock in Love Potion and Sugar-n-Spice and the papers and embellishments matched perfectly. Here's a few cards which were very quickly made:

Flutter Kit Cards

The first card is a 135mm x 135mm white base covered with a 135mm x 135mm piece of Love Potion Cardstock, sanded around the edges. Then stick a 125mm x 125mm piece of ladybird paper down onto the cardstock and a strip of the Umbrella Thermo paper about quarter of the way up from the bottom. The letters of the word "LOVE" are cut with the Vintage Findings card for the Making Memories Slice and again I sanded the edges. The tiny cute butterfly is from the Flutter Kit of Design Shop Stickers.

Love Card

The Umbrella Card was made using a 135mm x 135mm white card blank. To that, stick a 135mm x 135mm piece of Sugar-n-Spice Colorcore Cardstock. On top of that stick a 130mm x 130mm piece of green paper, it's called Butterfly Flutter and it's in the kit. Next cut a 125mm x 125mm piece of Umbrella Thermo paper and stick that down. After that all you need to do is take 3 assorted buttons from the kit and stick them in the top left hand corner. Thread one of them with string (it's in the kit too!) and finally finish it off with a tiny flower sticker from the Design Shop Stickers. If you think that the centre of the card is a little bare, well I've left it blank so you could add a sentiment or coloured stamped image.

Kits are still available and you can purchase online here! There's also a matching 3 ring binder Flutter Album in 12" x 12" in the range here!
