Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Random Acts of Kindness. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Alpine Air kit was in my last order, and I’ve made three cards for this Hop. Each card is just a little bit different than the directions, but the whole kit is gorgeous!

Here are my Random Acts of Kindness cards:

Here are some up-close views of the kit:

The contents:

The Alpine Air Kit has all the pieces you need to create nine all-occasion cards with an elegant mountain theme. Whether you want to say hello, wish a happy birthday, or show support, you can pair each sentiment with the water-colored mountain scenes and precut paper pieces to make cards for any adventurer or nature-loving friend. Also available in French.

DETAILS
– Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs
Featured colors: Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce

Kit includes one of each item listed below.
– Alpine Air Photopolymer Stamp Set
– Clear stamp block
– Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Ink Spot
– Predesigned project
– Step-by-step instructions
– 9 printed envelopes
– Enough adhesive to complete projects
– A 9-7/8″ x 6-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ (25.1 x 16.5 x 7 cm) printed box for storage or crafting on the go

KITS COLLECTION
– Are predesigned projects that come in a range of project types.
– Perfect for new crafters, busy crafters, or crafters who want quick and easy projects.
– Available while supplies last.

My Twists:

• I cut each of the premade cards in half and used cardstock for the base of the cards. This way, I’ll have twice as many backgrounds to make up to 18 cards
• The bases each measure 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
• I used Stamping Write Markers to outline each of the deckled elements which were included in the original kit
• Since I didn’t want to cover any of the alpine mountains and lake image, I heat embossed the sentiment, from the Iconic Imagery stamp set, in black
• For the inside of this card, I also used one of the Christmas tree stamps from Iconic Imagery stamped in Shaded Spruce
• I like to send my daughter, who lives in Northern California, a variety of sealed cards with varying reasons on the front. For example, “when you need a hug”, “when you need encouragement”, etc. This Grateful card is going to her.
• After stamping the Thinking of You sentiment on one of the included sentiment banners, I cropped a banner in Misty Moonlight using one of the dies from the Stylish Shapes set

You Do You:

No matter the reason, this Alpine Air kit has everything you need to create your own Random Acts of Kindness cards. You don’t need to use your own twists or imagination if you don’t want to do so. That’s the beauty of kits!
