Final Altered Kit card. This is the final kit card in my Altered Kit card series for the So Much to Celebrate kit. It has all the materials to create 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs but by stretching supplies I’ve managed to make 15 in all. I made one of each design following the kit instructions and cut the remaining 2 kit cards in half to make 4 cards for the remaining designs.
So Much To Celebrate
Here are the original designs which I followed to the “T”. Welcome to the final blog post in my Altered Kit card series – no. 3 of 3. In previous posts I tackled the Congratulations slim card in the top right and the Gold foiled scripted Congratulations card on the top left. Today I will alter the Petal Pink Best Wishes card in the bottom which measures 4 ¼” x 5 ½” (10.8 cm x 14 cm).
Materials used
- Basic White Thick card stock : In Europe our A4 sheets measure 8 ¼” x 11 ¾”. You can create 2 card bases from each sheet in landscape by cutting *FIRST CARD BASE @ 4″ x 11 ½” (10.2 cm x 29 cm) and score on long side at 5 ¾” (14.5 cm).
- With the remaining card stock, trim **SECOND CARD BASE @ 4 ¼” x 11″ (10.8 cm x 28 cm). On the long side score this at 5 ½” 14 cm). Make another 2 card bases from a second A4 sheet – altogether 2 card bases of each type.
- Cut Petal Pink Best wishes Kit card in half to yield 2 card fronts and 2 backs of the card to use as mat layers for the First Card Base.
