Today I continue with using up some of my "personal shopper" kits from HOTP - this time, a bright and cheery color scheme with blue, striped, and geometric papers. I got three cards from this set, and each has all 3 papers on it. For this first card, I added some of the cutout art that came with the set, along with printed acetate from my stash (that also came from HOTP).
To the red printed "ribbon" part of the paper, I added some sparkle paint for a bit of shine. I attached the printed acetate by folding it around a piece of white card stock & attaching it with tape in the back. Here's what the inside looks like:
The inside was done basically the same as the outside, except that the acetate was trimmed only on 3 sides with the fourth being taped behind the patterned paper to hold it in place.
My next card is a tri-fold card with a window in it. The stamped focal is a HOTP stamp from "Janie's Girl Frames", colored with Inktense & watercolor pencils blended with water.
I used Spellbinder's "Petite Scalloped Frames" to die cut the windows in the card - smaller cutout on the front, larger one on the inside panel, and framed both. I outlined the front fame with a marker & painted it with Sparkle.
For the inside panel, I stamped a sentiment using a stamp from JustRite's Grand Sentiments set. The background for that was cut using the same die set - just cut part of the die cut off with the same die to make it narrower. I had already cut out one of the "fasteners" on this tag to go on the first card, so needed to hide the holes with something - Jewel Dazzles did that.
For the very inside of the card, I matted the focal and painted the mat with sparkle paint. The sentiment comes from the JustRite "Good Friends Labels Twenty-Nine" stamp set.
The next card is the "scrap card". I took all the scraps I had remaining, inked the edges, and arranged them into a card, adding a stamped greeting (Studio G small stamp set), and balloon confetti (with hand-drawn strings). For the stamping I had to use a mix of two colors - a burgundy Distress ink and a red Colorbox ink in order to get the right color.
The inside was more of the same with another stamped message (Birthday Greetings, HOTP).
