Good morning! I have the post-holiday blues today as it’s back to work after a week in the beautiful Scottish Cairngorms. We’ve never been before but will definitely be back – we just wish it was closer than an eight-hour drive.
It’s business as usual on the blog, too, as it’s Monday and time for another Mix It Up Monday project using a colour combination from my In Color charts.
Today’s Mix It Up Monday project uses three shades of purple and that lovely rich green, Tranquil Tide. This should be a winning combo but I admit I struggled, probably because I need to get back into stamping after a week away.
As you can see, it’s not your run-of-the mill card. It’s a fancy fold inspired by Connie Stewart, who produced a very helpful video, which I recommend you watch if you want to have a go at this project. Be warned, though, it uses US sizes so to save you the hassle, I sat down with a load of scrap paper and came up with my own measurements so that the card would fit in a C6 envelope and can be made using A4 cardstock.
Whisper White/Very Vanilla cardstock: 14cm x 20cm
Score @ 4.5cm and 7cm from each end.
Card base: 10.5cm x 14.8cm
DSP design 1: 4.2cm x 13.7cm (you’ll need three pieces of this size)
DSP design 2: 2.2cm x 13.7cm (you’ll need four pieces of this size)
Belly band: 28cm x 3cm (or wider - adjust the width to suit your main image)
