Suit Card

I was happy to receive some of my back-ordered Create and Play Club items today. One of the items was the Doodlebug Essentials Classic Collection paper pack. Here is what is in the pack:

There are 4 sheets of double-sided papers in this pack. This photo shows 1 side of each of the papers and a sheet of stickers.

Here is the other side of the papers and a sheet of frame embellishments.

The paper pack also includes 2 packets of brads and a sheet of letter stickers.

I want to use this kit to make a selection of cards and will buy another one later to use in scrapbooking lay-outs. Here is my first card using this paper pack:

A friend gave me the original instructions for this card, but the size was quite a bit bigger and I wanted to make it as an A5 card, so I had a play and changed the measurements of the templates to suit. Apart from the Jet Black and Smooth Snowcap cardstock, and a small piece of red tissue paper, everything else comes from the Classic Collection paper pack.

I have to make 50 kits up of this card by Sunday, as I'm making it with a group of Sunday School children as a Father's Day card. (I'll use papers and embellishments from my stash for these cards as I don't have enough of the Doodlebug paper). I would have liked to teach this card from my home too as a Father's Day class, but I'm going overseas in 2 weeks and just don't have the time to fit it in before I go. I'm thinking of teaching it as part of a Male Card class later though, so if you think you might be interested in that class please email me at createandplayhelen@gmail.com and I'll let you know when the class is available.

I'd better get started with making up all those kits! As soon as they are done, I'll share a couple more cards that I'll make with this pack. I also bought the Doodlebug Essentials Colorwheel Collection paper pack, so will share some cards made with that soon too.

Happy creating,

Helen.
