It’s time for the 05-2020 APPT Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called A Kit In Color, and it features some of the new 2020-2022 In Colors. It comes in a fun, colorful box and makes 12 fun, colorful cards. We are featuring alternate projects made with this kit. I made a card and decorated a Mini Pizza Box.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

Stamped with the A Kit In Color stamp set:
- “hey” in Misty Moonlight ink onto the white side of a ticket shaped piece
- “you’re amazing” in Misty Moonlight ink onto a precut label
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in a small Purple Posy card base with a Bone Folder
- 1/2″ strips glued onto the front of the card base, staggering them, then trimmed excess from edges*
- adhered one of the larger vellum layers onto the strips
- wrapped a piece of twine around the top of the sentiment piece and tied in a bow
- adhered the sentiment piece onto the vellum
- applied 3 enamel shapes onto the card front
Assembled the box:
- burnished the folds in the pizza box and folded to assemble

May 19, 2020 | Cards, Gallery |
COVID-19 has caused quite the ruckus in the world. I’m sure we’re all missing some of the same things: eating out, hugging people, stamping with friends, having enough toilet paper,… This is the perfect time to reach out with a handmade card. Today I’m sharing some cards I made for a masculine card swap with my Candy Hearts team. I used sentiments from the COVID-19 Product Giveback that I printed onto Whisper White card stock, using the “Heavyweight Paper” setting. This setting prints a little bit more slowly than usual, but the results are worth it. I also used Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, which will be retiring very soon, and corners from the new Antiqued Corners & Slides, in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.
