I decided I liked the kite card I made for one of the challenges over at My Pink Stamper on National Scrapbook Day that I would make a set of them and a box to keep them in today.
For the sake of "assembly lining" them (is that proper English?), I did tweek the recipe just a tad.
Below is a picture of the original I did for the challenge. I like the look of the torn paper, but honestly didn't want to tear all that paper for a box of cards today. So I let the Cricut tear / cut my paper for me. ;)
Card bases bright blue and lavender from Value pack pre-scored for easy folding!
Ribbon from Joann's (and this was the last of this spool - so sad, I LOVED this ribbon!)
Pattern papers from DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack
Solid papers from Recollections
Scotch Photo Splits & Zig 2-Way Glue Pen
Cricut Cartridge: CREATE A CRITTER
Kite page 48 cut @ 4 1/2" and used Shadow Feature
Larger cloud page 55 (phrase, shift) cut @ 1 1/4" using Confetti cardstock
Smaller cloud page 28 (phrase, shift) cut @ 3/4" using Confetti cardstock
Cricut Cartridge: GIVE A HOOT
Tree page 64 cut @ 3"
Grass page 65 cut @ 1 1/2" (trimmed length to 5 1/2") on Border feature
Hills page 65 cut@ 1 1/2" (shift) (trimmed length to 5 1/2") on Border feature
Box for A2 size cards made with 12" x 8" cardstock
Scored on all sides @ 1"
Scored short down @ 5 1/2" & 6 1/2"

Folded into box (if you would like to see MOMO's video on making an A2 size box, just leave me a comment and I'll send you a link to that. But if you click on MOMO above, it will take you to her blog.)
The kite for the outside of the box was cut @ 4 3/4" with Shadow feature. Pattern paper for the kite is K & Company Life's Tapestry.
Bling on this kite is from Joann's Busy Kids, Kid's Camp

Love the background!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a great set of cards, I like to simplify when I make an amount of cards.
Carol<><
LOL Well, you know how often I change my background. hahaha I saw your's and LOVED it! Thanks! Yeah, simplifying with multi card making is much easier. I love the look of the rhinestones on the kite on the outside of the box I made, but I don't have enough of them to do that on all the cards. And on these cards I didn't use the foam squares to pop up the kite like I normally would. I'm having some issues with that mailing stuff from Alaska to South Carolina. The rainbow is gorgeous.... just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Janis....your cards always make me smile. I especially like the last card with the patchwork background.
ReplyDeleteCould you sent me the link to the making of the box/ I'd appreciate it.
