I have a card class on Saturday 18th March and I’m already prepping for it! I think that may be a record. The class is to make the Designer Tin of Cards project kit which consists of a tin, 16 cards and tabs to help organise them. I’m guessing you’re wondering just what there is to prep? Well it’s 4 copies of 4 cards and I decided I wanted to make a few alternatives (no surprise, I know!) in case people wanted some extra variety.
I was a bit surprised to notice that when the card is based on the Moroccan DSP, the shape to go on it is whisper white. So I’ll ensure that I have plenty of very vanilla on hand so that people can swap those out. I also decided that I didn’t want to cover up most of the patterned card and have created 2 cards out of the supplies of one with just a few extra basics.
The large patterned piece is from the kit and I added it to a delightful dijon card base. Next I laid down a strip of the kit’s washi tape folding the ends to crease it where I wanted to cut and then cutting it off. I know that washi is planned as a rough and ready tape, but I don’t like the ragged edges! I cut a little strip of Moroccan DSP to lay on top of some of the washi – in fact that little strip is where I got the delightful dijon from. To continue the colour scheme, I used delightful dijon for the sentiment from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set (on very vanilla!) and added a layering piece of early espresso cut out using the layering squares framelits dies. I popped this up with dimensionals.
