Simply Citrus Jade Lemons & Slices Pair
I started by trimming off a 1" slice of the card front from the Simply Citrus Just Jade dotted card base, saving that to use on the second card. Let's take a closer look at the details...
Thanks Two Lemons Card #1—After trimming away 1" of the card front, I adhered a 5-1/2" x 1-1/2" piece of Just Jade cardstock to finish off the card front background. I also tied some Calpyso Coral ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack for a pop of color.
Focal Point Card #1—I stamped the Simply Citrus sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a Whisper White Stitched Shapes circle die-cut, then layered it onto a Night of Navy scallop circle from the Layering Circles dies. It's popped up with Dimensionals. Next, I stamped the lemons in Mango Melody ink onto Mango Melody cardstock and I stamped the leaves in Just Jade ink onto Just Jade cardstock. I fussy-cut those images and adhered them to the circle. I finished by adding a single Champagne Rhinestone for some sparkle.
Just A Note Slices Card #2—For the second card, I adhered the 1" strip from the previous card base to a Garden Green card base. The background is a pre-printed die-cut that I stamped on with the outline leaves and slices images in Night of Navy ink.
Focal Point—I stamped the Simply Citrus greeting in Night of Navy ink onto one of the die-cuts from the kit. I tied some Calypso Coral Baker's Twine around the navy die-cut banner, both from the kit, and popped it up with Dimensionals. I finished by coloring one of the cute little flowers with Dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Markers and attached it with a Glue Dots.

Each kit makes three each of 5 styles of cards like the ones you see above.
Doubling The Card Kit! With a little bit of altering, and adding a few layers and accents, I used the pieces in the Simply Citrus Card Kit to create 30 cards that are stepped up and maximize the value of your kit! The extra cards also give you some ideas on how you can use the Simply Citrus stamp set to make even more cards once these are assembled!
Here's the first pair of Two Cool Simply Citrus altered cards! Watch the Class Replay video linked above to see all of the pairs!
Simply Citrus Navy Lemons & Leaves Card Pair
For the first altered Double The Card Kit pair, I selected the card base with the pre-printed lemons & leaves. I trimmed off 2" from the card front and will be using that piece on a second card.
Navy Lemons & Leaves Card #1—After trimming away 2" of the card front, I stamped the Simply Citrus leaves image in Night of Navy ink onto a 2-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of Night of Navy cardstock. I adhered it to the card front, positioning the edge of the cardstock flush with the edge of the card base, to create a lovely new card front.
Decorating Card #1—I used the die-cut pieces from the kit that were intended for this card. I adhered the Garden Green banner die-cut, then stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy on the Whisper White label and popped it up with Dimensionals. I finished by adding a Calypso Coral Baker's Twine bow and a few flowers around the sentiment.
Lemons & Leaves Card #2—For the second card, I trimmed about 1/8" off the end of the extra lemons & leaves card base piece to use on my gate-fold card. This card starts with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Just Jade card base, scored at the 2-1/8" and 6-3/8" marks. I adhered the lemons & leaves strip on one side, then embossed a 2" x 5-3/8" piece of Just Jade with the new Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder and adhered it to the other side.
Focal Point—I stamped the Simply Citrus sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a Whisper White Stitched So Sweetly die-cut. Next, I stamped the lemons and leaves images onto the piece, too. I colored the lemons with Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Markers, and colored in the leaves with Dark Mint Macaron Blends. It's layered onto a 3-1/8" x 4-1/4" piece of Night of Navy cardstock, then popped up onto the left gate-fold with Dimensionals. I finished with another double bow in Calypso Coral Baker's Twine, attached with a Glue Dot. Optional: Add some Wink of Stella Glimmer for a little extra sparkle!

Let's take a look at each of the card designs up close!
Card 1: Amazing As You—I had to start with my favorite card design from the kit. I love the beautiful floral background and layers!
Background Basics—Each of the card bases is pre-printed with a lovely watercolor-look design. This card has a intricate, laser-cut layer that provides a pretty outline to the colorful image. It's adhered with Multipurpose Glue that is not included in the kit, but is included at my class.
Card 1 Layers—I stamped the Incredible Like You sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink onto the pre-punched, silver-lined label. It's popped up with the included Dimensionals over a Granny Apple Green Glimmer Paper banner. I added a Grapefruit Grove Baker's Twine bow and Rhinestone Jewels, all included in the kit!
See what I mean about EASY and oh, so pretty?!
Card 2: I Adore You—This refreshing card is perfect for that special someone.
Background Basics—The card base on this one just looks like a bunch of colorful spheres until you add the white laser-cut layer! Then it looks like a citrus design! Too Cool!
Card 2 Accents—I stamped the sentiment in Lovely Lipstick onto the silver-lined circle. It's popped up over a Daffodil Delight striped label shape and a Granny Apple green sparkly banner. I added a twine bow and Rhinestones to this card, as well.
Card 3: Glad We Are Friends—Check out all of the details on this card! Wow!
Background Basics—Again, the card base is printed with a pretty wash of color and the overlay just makes it prettier!
Card 3 Accents—I stamped the Incredible Like You sentiment in Coastal Cabana onto the label punch-out. I added some Granny Apple Green Glimmer leaves die-cuts and Grapefruit Grove Baker's Twine to the back of the label before popping it up. Finally, I attached the paper flower die-cuts onto the label with the included Glue Dots and accented the with Rhinestones.
Card 4: Incredibly Proud of You—The final card includes an laser-cut layer that overlays a piece of Granny Apple Green Glimmer Paper. Those layers are mounted onto a pre-printed matching card base.
Card 4 Décor—This sentiment is stamped in Lovely Lipstick and layered onto a Grapefruit Grove striped circle. It's finished with more twine & rhinestones. Love the extra sparkle on this one!

I love the Incredible Like You stamp set! Not only is it a fantastic stamp set on its own, it also is the stamp set that coordinates with the Incredible Like You Project Kit. Take a look!
Incredible Like You Stamp Set—I love the fun two-step elements in this stamp set! The flowers, leaves & stripes coordinate beautifully together and the sentiments are fresh and versatile! I can see cards for all kinds of recipients: friends, children, graduates, co-workers, people who are struggling, volunteers, team members and more!
Incredible Like You Project Kit—Use the Incredible Like You stamp set in combination with the Incredible Like You Project Kit to create 16 (4 each of 4 designs) pretty, layered cards! These cards look AMAZING in person! The backgrounds are pre-printed with a watercolor look, then layered with delicate laser-cut designs for gorgeous texture and detail! So, so pretty!
Background Basics—This card begins by stamping the Incredible Like You wave lines image in Balmy Blue onto a 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the top and bottom images first, then added the center image for better positioning. It's adhered onto a Balmy Blue card base.
Amazing Focal Point—I stamped the Incredible Like You sentiment in Night of Navy onto a 2-3/8" Stitched Shapes Circle die-cut. For the flowers, I inked the solid flower with Calypso Coral, stamped off once, then stamped on the circle. I stamped the detailed two-step flower image in full-strength Calypso Coral ink. Oohh! I love how those flowers look!
Finishing Touches—I added some folded Whisper White Flax Ribbon under the circle using Tear & Tape Adhesive, then popped up the circle with Dimensionals I finished by adding a few of the Grapefruit Grove Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins.
Two Cool—I stamped the stripes in Pool Party on the a 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White to create the background for this horizontal Pool Party card base.
Focal Point—This time the Incredible Like You greeting was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and the flowers were stamped in Daffodil Delight. I added the same Flax Ribbon and a few Lemon Lime Twist accents from the Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins.

I love the beautiful watercolor imagery in traditional reds and greens, highlighted with lovely gold foil accents.

Avid stampers like me enjoy how quickly they can be assembled when you need a quick stack of holiday cards. There are so many ways this kit can make your holiday season more fun:

Timeless Tidings Kit Contents—The supplies in the kit will create 5 each of 4 styles of holiday cards with elegant, gold foil edge envelopes. You'll receive everything needed for the projects; you just add the Timeless Tidings stamp set, ink and adhesives. The kit includes:
Timeless Tidings Stamp Set—The Timeless Tidings Project Kit coordinates with the Timeless Tidings stamp set, which is sold separately. The lovely sentiments fit perfectly on the labels in the kit and the set includes little matching elements that you can stamp on the inside of the cards or on the envelopes.
4 Card Designs—Each Timeless Tidings kit creates 20 cards: 5 each of 4 designs Let's look at each one a little closer...
Poinsettia Merry Christmas Cards—The first card style is a vertically-folded card featuring a pretty poinsettia flower. All of the cards come with beautiful Very Vanilla gold foil-edged envelopes.
Layers & Accents—The pretty gold foil scallop is an easy-to-apply sticker. You'll receive full-color photos of each design with tips on assembly. There are even lines pre-printed on the card to indicate where to position the layered elements, for a no-fail project every time! The layer with a point can be adhered with SNAIL or popped up with Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped on the die-cut label then popped up with Dimensionals.
Comfort & Joy Trees Cards—This card style has another pretty gold foil decorative border sticker under a pretty forest image. So peaceful!
Gemstones—Each of the cards features either Mossy Meadow or Gold Rhinestone Jewel accents that float around the sentiment.
Warmth of Christmas Cards—The third design features some festive Christmas foliage that reminds me of a centerpiece! A pretty gold foil accent is layered underneath the sentiment.
Sweet Sentiment—The Timeless Tidings stamp set has sentiments that fit perfectly with these cards, but you could always use your own sentiments on the labels. I chose to stamp my sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, but you could use coordinating Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Merry Merlot or Cherry Cobbler inks. Or, what about some Gold Embossing? Ooohh! That would be beautiful! You are welcome to try embossing at my local class!
Moments & Memories Holly Cards—The final card style is so elegant! I love the pre-printed foil border around the main image.
Layers & Accents—This one also has a gold decorative border sticker and pretty green jewels.
How many of you have ever tried a Stampin' Up! all-inclusive kit? I absolutely LOVE them and I think they just keep getting better and better! A couple weeks ago, I invited my Too Cool Team to come to my studio to assemble kits! What a fun night that turned out to be!

Need More Cards? Try The Refill Kit!—Once you purchase the basic kit, you can order 20-card refills to use with the original stamp set and ink spot. How awesome is that?
Card Styles—Each of the four card designs starts with a 5" x 3-1/2" card base pre-printed with a pretty pattern in Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow and Soft Sea Foam greens. All of the stamps focus on thanks and gratitude.
You're So Kind—I think this striped Soft Sea Foam card base is my favorite. The Blushing Bride striped banner is a sticker. The foliage is pre-printed and die-cut, adhered with SNAIL adhesive.
Sentiment & Finishing Touches—I stamped the greeting on a pretty square die-cut with faux stitching. I covered the back with SNAIL adhesive and arranged loops of the gorgeous copper twine. You can't get that twine in the catalog, but I sure wish you could...I LOVE it! I popped up the greeting with Dimensionals, then added a few pearls around the focal point.
Thanks Blossom—The Blushing Bride striped piece and Soft Sea Foam dotted piece are both stickers mounted onto the card base. The blossom is a pre-printed die-cut that I adhered with SNAIL.
Sentiment & Finishing Touches—I stamped the greeting onto the faux-stitched banner, then popped it up with Dimensionals. I tied a bow with the cool copper twine and attached it with a Glue Dot. I added a couple of Pearls floating around the focal point.
Thank You Flower—This time the leaves are pre-printed on the card base. I added SNAIL adhesive on the back of the pre-printed flower and arranged the copper twine in loops, then popped up the flower with Dimensionals.
Sentiment & Finishing Touches—This sentiment is actually a sticker that lays over the top of the flower. I added a few Pearls around the blossom to finish.
Thank You Card—I love the soft round leaves pre-printed on this card base. The Blushing Bride piece is a sticker.
Sentiment & Finishing Touches—I stamped the greeting onto the small die-cut, added some copper twine loops to the back and popped it up with Dimensionals. Some floating Pearls complete the look.
I thoroughly enjoyed making these lovely cards...they were so easy & quick! I love to create my own more detailed cards, but sometimes, it's just kind of fun and relaxing to just stamp a greeting and assemble something that's already so nicely prepped and ready to go! If you haven't tried a Stampin' Up! kit, why not give it a go?! I love these colors so much, I'm going to purchase a refill kit or two!

Lanterns Celebrate Cards—This is my favorite card from the kit! The lanterns were fun to color! The kit recommends only using 4 colors of markers: Pumpkin Pie, Pool Party, Night of Navy & Pink Pirouette, but wouldn't this card be cool with multicolor lanterns? So festive!
Coloring Tips—I stamped the Color Me Happy images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink (the recommended ink), then colored in the lanterns with Pool Party and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Markers. I first colored in the entire image with the lighter color brush tip, then added some shading in the darker color brush tip, then blended the color with the lighter color fine bullet tip. For a little extra highlight, I colored the center with the Color Lifter to pull some of the color away. How fun!
Lantern Card Details—The card base is pre-printed with white on the inside. There is foil tape to add a shiny detail along the side. There is enough Baker's Twine to wrap around the layer and tie on the tassel, but I simply added the tassel and bow with Glue Dots. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink onto a pre-printed, pre-cut rectangle, then popped up with Dimensionals. Adhesive is not included in the kit.
Flower Happy For You Cards—The instructions recommend the Pink Pirouette markers for this card, but this is another card design that you could easily add other colors to change it up. It would be fun to play with Calypso Coral and Rich Razzleberry, too. And check out those cool envelopes...lined with pretty coordinating patterns and elegant gold foil edges.
Coloring Tips—I stamped the Color Me Happy flowers randomly in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Pink Pirouette light and dark markers. I approached it just like the lanterns: light all over, shade with dark, blend with light. You can shade in many different ways, but that is my favorite way.
Flower Card Details—I temporarily tacked down the diagonal stamped piece to help me add the gold foil tape across the pre-printed card base. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink onto a pre-printed, pre-cut banner, then popped up with Dimensionals. I added the sequins with a few dabs of Multipurpose Adhesive.
Oh Hello Bird Cards—These 4 x 4" cards also come with cute envelopes. The instructions suggest coloring the birds with Pool Party and Pink Pirouette, but I selected Calypso Coral instead. Their beaks and legs are colored with Pumpkin Pie.
Birds Card Details—These cards have a little White Baker's Twine wrapped around the focal point, a little twine bow and more sequins. It was a little difficult to stamp the clear mount sentiment on the small rectangle die-cut, so I stamped it on the back side of some of the extra card stock pieces in the kit, then hand-cut with my Paper Snips. It's adhered to a shiny gold starburst element, then popped up with Dimensionals. Cute little birdies!
Thank You Cards—These 4 x 4" cards are colored with Pool Party, Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie.
Thank You Card Details—The pre-cut banner is adhered to the card base, then the gold foil trimmed layer is popped up with Dimensionals. This design is really quick & easy!
