Yesterday I started working on another ACK (Artful Card Kit) called Sugar Plum Foil. I'm finding it to be a real challenge because, though I like the purples and foiling in the kit, I don't care for the other colors nearly as much. At any rate, here are the first two cards I've made from this kit. This first card (above) is 9" x 4" - made to fit in a business sized envelope. All elements on the front of the card are from the kit, but the background oval was cut from the center of a die cut from the kit using Spellbinder's Petite Scalloped Oval Large. The remaining outer frame of that die cut was saved for another card.
Inside:
On the inside, I used more of the patterned paper, cut a border from the striped paper included in the kit, and then stamped a greeting (Christmas Cheer stamp set from HOTP).
Card #2:
For this card, I focused on the purple & silver. I used paper from the kit for the background, but matted it with purple card stock from my stash. I also cut the words "WE" and "YOU" from the same purple card stock. I also added a sheer purple ribbon from my stash. Everything else is from the kit. The purple swirly element at the bottom came with a red checked heart in the center. I covered this with another heart from the set (raised on foam tape for added interest) so I could keep to the purple theme.
Inside:
For the inside, I started with the dotted paper from the kit and added a panel of the purple card stock before adding a center section of the dotted paper so I have a place to write my message. I die cut an "A" from the purple card stock and stamped "Merry Christmas" (Christmas Art stamp set by HOTP). The "A" is layered on a silver heart from the kit & the silver swirls also came from the kit.
