When designing the November Card & A Cuppa kits I decided that I would be giving the Christmas theme a miss for just one of the kits. That doesn’t mean that there was no Christmas card made, just that the kit was not one to make you think Christmas when you first saw it.
The kit was designed using the Blackberry Beauty double-sided paper. The rich dark colours in the paper have a very Victorian feel, which I love.
Here’s the kit that was sent to those who ordered it.
Cutting Instructions for the kit are:
- Early Espresso base card – 10.5 x 29.7 cm (scored and folded in half at 14.9 cm).
- Early Espresso panel – 6.0 x 14.9 cm for the front of the card. See below too.
- Basic White panel – 10.0 x 14.4 cm for inside the card.
- Basic White label – scrap cut out using a die from the Tasteful Label Dies.
- Blackberry Beauty double-sided paper –
- 5.5 x 14.4 cm glued to the Early Espresso panel.
- 2 lots of 3.0 x 14.4 cm for the front of the card.
- 1.5 x 10.0 cm for gluing on Basic White panel.
Other items used are
- Embellishments – Gilded Gems and Early Espresso Faux Suede trim
- Stamp sets – Beauty of Tomorrow and Best Year (sentiments)
- Ink – Early Espresso and Blackberry Bliss
These are the three cards I took to the cafe as inspiration.
