Celebrate Kinetic Birthday Card Kit Release

Introducing the Button Farm Club Celebrate Kinetic Birthday Card Kit Release

Hello, Friends! Get ready to party, because today I’m introducing my Button Farm Club Celebrate Kinetic Birthday Card Kit Release! Oh, yes, my friends! Cue the confetti, frost the cupcakes and put on your crafting shoes, because this kit is one of the most exciting projects I’ve taken on to date!

It seems no matter how many cards I make, I always need more birthday cards! Is the same true for you? So I decided it would be a blast to create a kinetic card kit (think moving parts). And how about a card kit with cards that would work for everybody on your birthday card list? So I put together this fabulous kit with cards for guys, cards for the ladies, cards for teens and even cards for kids.

Cards for Guys

Let’s face it: guys are hard to make cards for most of the time. But these clean and simple cards even got two thumbs up from my sweet hubby! See, he loves cards that have moving parts. These bold cards are not as basic as they seem at first glance. Take a look…

Oh, yeah! a little pop up action will have the recipient opening and closing over and over again! These cards would also be great for teen boys.

Make Mine a Triple Layer Cake, Please!

Remember the old TV bits where a girl would pop out of a cake? Well, these Triple Layer Cake Cards have a cake that pops out of the card! How’s that for fun?

In fact, these cards are so much fun to make, I had to put two of them into the kit!

I think these cards are fun for kids of all ages, but I can see young girls liking them a lot!

Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On!

Y’all know how much I enjoy a good shaker card! There’s just something about all those sparkly bits dancing around inside a frame…and the sound of them moving that makes me feel happy all over. So I have included SIX..count ’em…SIX shaker cards in this kit! That’s a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on!

This double frame photo card is perfect for a graduate, teacher or coach.

And what feels more like a party than balloons, cake and rosettes?

Cake and cupcakes anyone?

Oh, yes…please do let there be cake!

Well, it sure looks like a party, doesn’t it? Each of these cards has a gift card pocket inside, too.

Pop-Up Birthday Cake Wiper Card

Wait until you see this one in action in the video below. I could NOT stop playing with this card. It doubles nicely as a toy for the easily entertained!

Birthday Party Photo Folio

Birthday parties create lots and lots of memories. And this One Sheet Wonder has room for lots and lots of photos so those memories don’t get lost!

With journaling cards and tags, interactive pages and hidden pockets, this little gem is worth its weight in birthday cake! You’ll get to see all the fun details in the video below.

Button Farm Club Gnomes Quarter 2 Release

Button Farm Club Gnomes Quarter 2 Release!

Hello, Friends! Today I’m bringing you the sunshine with the announcement of my Button Farm Club Quarter 2 Release. If these whimsical little cuties don’t make you smile, then I don’t know what will! This quarter we are celebrating all things spring. Easter, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day take the spotlight.

This the 2nd of 4 quarterly folios to fit in the decorative storage box we built for the first quarter and released in November.

These little fellas just get cuter and cuter! Let me show you the fun that awaits you inside this 6×6 “made from scratch” folio.

The April Gnomes

Tulips, Easter Eggs and Gnomes dressed up in their finest spring attire are sure to lift your spirits.

And just like an Easter Egg Hunt, there are all kinds of sweet surprises built into the folio design.

Gnomes Love Mom

Fun flaps, flips and pockets give this folio loads of room to load in photos of mom.

And you can find May flowers everywhere you look!

June Belongs to Dad

I don’t know about you, but this adorable Gnome-mobile makes me grin from ear to ear!

The handy box pocket holds two mini folios as well as some mighty cute tags.

Here’s a peek at the folio when fully opened. It’s the same size and general design as the first quarter folio, but I made some significant improvements that make it easier to build, and more fun to make.

Stamperia Sweety Treat Tags Creativity Kit Reveal

Stamperia Sweety Treat Tags Creativity Kit Release for The Button Farm Club

Hello, Friends! I have been patiently waiting to share this Stamperia Sweety Treat Tags Creativity Kit with you, and today is the big day! Hooray! This treat tag and interactive card kit is my late4st release for The Button Farm Club. It’s been weeks and weeks since I started the plan for this kit. But I finally was able to bring this idea to life and I am so happy with the way it turned out.

The idea was to create a kit that would work for Valentine’s Day or Birthdays, or any occasion when you wanted to send someone a special little gift. The kit contains 6 pocket-style treat tags dressed up for a party with Stamperia’s darling Sweety collection.

Each little treat tag holds one of my signature Tea Party in a Box surprises. The kit comes with all the goodies for the box: individually wrapped tea bag, Ghirardelli Chocolate, Biscoff Cookies, Honey Stick, and a Mini Tasting Spoon. We dress them up with designer papers, then add in a darling little tag and mini note card to sweeten the deal.

Can you see how much fun these will be to give as gifts? Or, dress up the table setting at a tea party or birthday party?

Interactive Cards

The kit also contains supplies and instructions for these interactive cards. Although these cards look complicated to make, the process is actually quite simple when broken down into steps.

This clever Kinetic Waterfall Card is a prime example: once you learn how simple it is to create the waterfall mechanism, you’ll be able to add a fun element to future cards.

The interior of all the cards is fully decorated, too. Naturally, you’ll find a pocket, because that is how I roll!

This stack of teacups makes my tea loving heart happy all by itself.

But when you open the card to find this pop up feature…well, I’m over the moon!

The tutorials in this kit contain simple, sneaky tricks that I’ve learned in my card making journey. These techniques will help you make the most of your papers, elevate your card designs and help you gain skill and confidence.

Fun fold cards are aptly named because they are so rewarding and enjoyable to make.

This fancy flap card is just loaded with sweet surprises! You can see them all in the video tour below.

Stamperia Through the Looking Glass Card Kit

Stamperia Through the Looking Glass Card Kit Release for The Button Farm Club

Hello, Friends! If you’re experiencing the “after Christmas Blues,” maybe this Stamperia Through the Looking Glass Card Kit Release will bring a smile to your face. This is one of the most whimsical, innovative card kits I’ve designed to date, and here are some reasons why.

First, the cards, tags and folios are designed to be easier to mail. Many of you had mentioned that you would like to have “flatter” cards that would require less postage to send.
Next, although the cards are not as thick and heavy as some from previous kits, that does not mean that they are boring or ordinary. Quite the contrary! Each project in this kit either shakes, pops up, stands up, or has a surprise element. In short, they are fun to make and exciting to open.
Thirdly, this paper collection had me laughing out loud the whole time I was at work designing the kit. The colors and images are simply magical.
Finally, you’ll be adding loads of tricks and techniques to your card making repertoire. Some of these designs are addictive…and much easier to make than you might think.

Take a look:

You will learn how to build a scene with the die cuts and fussy cuts from the kit.

Then we’ll take that scenic card to the next level by adding a pop up mechanism and gift card pocket to the inside.

I even managed to create a masculine card for this kit!

How fun is that?

Through the Looking Glass Story Book

Since this is just a sneak peek post, I won’t share everything from the kit here. But I have to show you my favorite creation: A Through the Looking Glass Story Book Folio.

Now you all know how much I love moving parts, flips, flaps and surprises. But I think that I outdid myself with this little story book. Every page is an adventure waiting to happen!

I walk you through the folio in the video below, but I just had to share this fun pop up page with you. If you’d like to see more, please enjoy the short reveal video below.

Through the Looking Glass Video Tour

What Comes in the Kit?

Each kit contains everything you need to make the projects. You only need to add basic crafting supplies like paper trimmers, adhesives, and scoring tools. In addition to the supplies listed below, you’ll be given access to full length, step by step video tutorials that you can watch over and over again whenever you wish. We’ll also provide a full-color basic written guide with measurements and basic instructions to complement the video tutorials.

Here’s what comes in each Through the Looking Glass Kit:

Stamperia’s Alice, Through the Looking Glass Paper Pad with 10 double-sided 12×12 designer sheets
8×8 Alice Patterned Papers Pad with 10 double-sided sheets
Through the Looking Glass Chipboard Die Cuts Packet with 62 assorted die cuts
5 sheets of 12×12 linen cardstock
3 sheets of 12×12 black cardstock
3 Alice themed metal charms
2 yards of burlap string
2 yards of black licorice baker’s twine
5 wooden heart shaped buttons
4 doilies
2 slimline window envelopes
Shaker elements
6 beige flowers
Private links to step by step video tutorials
Full Color Basic Written Guides

This is the Quarterly Card Kit Subscription Club release for December 2021. If you are already subscribed to the Quarterly Card Kit, your project will ship out automatically.

You can order your kit today at The Button Farm Club.

I’m hoping you are as excited about this kit as I am. It’s a great way to chase away the winter doldrums. As always, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your interest in these kits. So many of you have asked to travel and teach classes. These kits are definitely the next best thing to being there!

Introducing Year with My Gnomies 2022 Kit

Introducing Year With My Gnomies 2022 Kit for Button Farm Club

Hello, Friends! We could all use a little sunshine and cheer in 2022, so I’m excited to introduce you to my Year With My Gnomies 2022 Quarterly Subscription Kit for the Button Farm Club! This adorable memory keeping system is bound to bring a smile to your face every single day in the new year! We did a similar “through the year” subscription kit in 2020, and you all loved it so much that you begged me to do another one. But we had to wait for the right paper collection to come along. Well, this year it did! Can you say “GNOMES?”

A Year with a Box Full of Gnomes!

Get ready for a year full of fun as we make a new folio for each quarter of the year in 2022. You’ll end up with four adorable folios and a handsome storage box that you’ll be proud to display.

This December kit comes with everything you need to make the storage box as well as the January, February, March trifold folio. And boy, is it ever cute!

Each 6 1/4″ x 6 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ folio focuses on the antics of our gnome buddies. The spine will feature charms that match each season. In January-March we have a snowflake, a pretty little heart and a shamrock charm dangle on the spine.

Interactive Pages

Y’all know how much II love interactive elements in a folio or album. Well, I think I might have outdone myself in the design of this folio. It is loaded with all kinds of pockets, flips, flaps, pull outs and surprises.

And all the papers and images are so bright and cheery!

The folio has a section for each month plus a storage pocket for the monthly calendars.

Fill in the calendars with the dates. Then write down birthdays, anniversaries, appointments, phone numbers or addresses on the back side.

Flips and Flaps

The mechanisms for each month are unique to that month. February is loaded with flips and flaps.

March features some fun surprise pockets and the cutest Leprechaun Gnomes ever!
