Authentique Endless Summer Card Kit Reveal for The Button Farm Club
Hello, Friends! Spend some time during the lazy, hazy days of summer creating vibrant all occasion greeting cards with the Button Farm Club Authentique Endless Summer Card Kit. If you’re like me, you never seem to have enough cards on hand.
The Authentique Endless Summer Card Kit from The Button Farm Club will help you to create an amazing variety of beautiful handmade cards quickly and easily. Just follow the full color step by step tutorial that comes with the kit.
Vibrant summer patterns and images from Authentique Paper’s Endless Collection will be used to make 10 projects from this one kit: an interactive 5” x 7” card folio with pockets, flip page and waterfall feature; a fanciful mason jar shaker card, 6” x 6” easel card that is suitable for home decor, a delightful fun fold card with a pocket, (3) 4” x 6” easy to mail cards, (2) dimensional gift tags, and a clever gift card wallet.
Project #1: Lazy Days Card Folio
If you’ve been wishing for a card folio tutorial…here it is! And isn’t it adorable? This is a 5″ x 7″ side fold card folio with all sorts of fun on the inside.
This is just a sneaky peek of all the fun I’ve tucked inside. There’s a double pocket flip page with inserts, a waterfall feature…and more! This is a great place to capture a special family birthday, vacation or summer fun day.
Project #2: Mason Jar Shaker Card
How cute is this 5″ x 6 1/2″ shaker card? Can you see the little fireflies in the mason jars? You’ll learn how to make it with the tutorial that comes in the kit.
Project #3: Sunbonnet Sue Easel Card
This 6″ x 6″ easel card can double as summer home decor.
Project #4: Dragonfly Days Fancy Fold Card
No card kit would be complete without a great fancy fold card design. This 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ fancy fold looks so impressive when made, but is actually simple to make. You’re going to love it!
Projects #5, #6 and #7: Easy to mail cards
These 4″ x 6″ cards have a little less dimension, making them easier to mail. But they are still big on detail.
Some have a lovely little gift card pocket on the inside.
And they all make creative use of scraps.
Projects #8 and #9: Vintage Style Gift Tags
These dimensional gift tags have a lovely little hanging loop on the top, making them easy to add to a package, or to hang from a knob as home decor.
They are generously sized at 3″ x 6″.
Project #10: Gift Card Wallet
Last but not least, you’ll learn how to create this lovely gift card wallet. It’s the perfect way to present a monetary gift with a personal touch.

Authentique Endless Summer Card Kit: The First in a Series
What I’m really excited about is this: if this card kit is well received, I will be working with The Button Farm Club to release an all occasion card kit for each quarter of the year. How exciting is that?
If you’re interested in placing an order for this kit, then pop on over to the Button Farm Club and sign up. (I think Laura is also adding a subscription button for future card kits.)
So many of you have asked me to come to your hometowns to teach a class. Well, this is the next best thing (and I don’t have to travel! LOL). I’m truly honored to be collaborating with The Button Farm Club to make these kits. The quality of everything is top notch, and the value is amazing. The price of the kit is just $49.95. I honestly don’t think you could purchase all the elements we’ve packed into this kit for less.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about this kit. I’ve tried to create a kit with a wide variety of card styles, suited to all levels of crafting ability. How’d I do? Please share your thoughts with me in the comment section below. I’m listening!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Kathy ~ I’ve been following your blog for quite some time now and just love your work! Rarely do I purchase something on first look but this one stole my creative heart! I’d never been to The Button Farm’s store before but I have now! I purchased this kit along with your Things I Learned From My Dog album. We recently had to lay our fur baby to rest on 5/3 and I’ve been planning an album for her in my head. This album is just what I needed, so there are two of your creations heading my way. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us! Terry
Oh my goodness, Kathy! What beautiful , darling projects! I have missed you and was so happy to see your email this morning. This paper collection is so joyful.

You’ve done a fantastic job creating this kit! Thank you for sharing! Hugs!
They are all adorable…hugs
