Happy World Card Making Day! This is the first time in six years (since I joined Stampin’ Up!) that I’m not hosting an event here in Atlanta. With Stampin’ Up!’s 30th Anniversary event next month in Orlando, my friends have another reason to get together soon – and I’m happy to let Stampin’ Up! do all the work. 🙂
During my Spring Stamp-Along last Spring, attendees at my event were treated to presentations from talneted demonstrators, fun business talks and games galore. At the end of the day, they were treated to alternative projects for the Soft Sayings Card Kit, one of the kits being celebrated in the World Card Making Day 10% Off Sale that Stampin’ Up! is hosting this weekend. Here’s a look at the fun group:
Each recipient received a Soft Sayings Card Kit and a cute instruction booklet for their projects. Here’s a look at the Soft Sayings Card Kit we used for our projects:
And here’s a look at the cards when they are created according to the instructions:
While I love all of the elements in this kit, they don’t all fit together beautifully. As such, I played around with the elements to recreate them in my own image – changing of bases, covering up colors, snipped elements to fit better on a page.
Here are the alternative cards I made with this kit and shared with my Spring Stamp-Along group (with the Soft Sayings Card Kit and a couple of additional products, you can make 2 of each of the following designs):
If you purchase this Soft Sayings Card Kit from me today (or tomorrow), you’ll receive a 10% discount – AND I’ll send you the .pdf with instructions for these projects.

Your designs are more to my aesthetic than the original kit’s; subtle changes that make all the difference. Brilliant job!
Looking forward to next year’s WCD in Atlanta, hopefully!
Thanks so much, Linda! I had fun playing with all of the elements of this kit to come up with fun alternatives. I, too, like these more than the originals. <3

These are wonderful, Brian. This is my favorite kit in the catalog and I plan on ordering the kit and a refill- that is how much I love it. Very much in my wheelhouse with my love of soft and pretty. Thank you so much for sharing you alternate ideas.
