Colour Me Happy Project Kit – Card 2

Uncategorized

3 Nov
Card 1

Hello, Crafters.

I wasn’t sure
yesterday if I was going to share more than one card from this kit or
not. 

Once I started working on card 2 yesterday, I knew I would write
about this one, but the jury is still out about cards 3 and 4; it depends on
if I have anything worthwhile to say! LOL!

After
wasting the first card from number 1, I decided to have a practice run
on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock (CS) from my stash.

It was a great idea
and saved me wasting anything on card 2. 

My first test piece was on our Thick
Whisper White Cardstock (CS), but the Stampin’ Blends bled over the
lines. 

My second attempt was on our regular Whisper White CS, and the
results were brilliant. 

I was able to practice the layout as well as the
colouring, which gave me the confidence to go for the real thing! 
 
To
make sure I stamped the lantern strings on the hanging cords, and didn’t
leave them hanging in mid-air, I set up my Stamp-a-ma-jig.

I
noticed in my kit, the instructions for the white cardstock for this
deign shoul measure 3″ x 4.5″, but mine was actually 2.75″ x 4.5″. 

Comparing how my images are laid out, I think it’s probably a typo; I
don’t feel that I’ve had to squeeze the images together to get them in.

I
was successful using the Gold Foil Tape on this card, because it was
easy to use a ruler and draw marks where the tape should go.

I did it in
such a way that the marks were covered up when I adhered the image
sheet over them. 

First of all, I measured 0.75″ up from bottom, and down
from top; then I measured in from the fold in by 1.25″, top and bottom.

If you’d like yours more central I think it would be better if you
measure in at just 1″ or even 0.75″ – test it before marking your
cardstock. 
 
I
used the same Thank You sentiment as yesterday instead of the Celebrate
from the Colour Me Happy Stamp Set. 

With regard to the white thread,
the instruction was to put a tassle on a 6″ piece and tie around the
white image.

I tried to get mine to run parallel to the top hanging cord
and found it best to add Fast Fuse at the back of the card and adhere
from lower left to almost highest point on the right. 

I did consider
glueing the twine just underneath the black line but, although it’s
doable, it can be very messay and I decided better of it.

To keep the
tassle in place, I rolled a Glue Dot into a “sausage” and adhered it at
the back.

I’m really looking forward to working on card 3 later today! 

That’s it from me today. Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.
