Cheery patterns and a fun card design mean this playful tent card is sure to bring a smile to someone’s face!
There are some projects that just make me smile – and this is one of them…so I figure this playful tent card will also bring a smile to the recipient’s face as well!
This card features patterned paper from the Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper (“DSP”) I thought that the kites and bikes went together well. Since they’re from the same package of paper, they have coordinating colours and go together well on a card.
This playful tent card also features a bit of a fun fold. The tent fold portion is a little shorter than usual, which means you can add the extra piece on top and still have a standard sized card. (I like my cards to fit into regular medium Stampin’ Up! envelopes!). The words are die cut with the Floral Gallery Dies from Pool Party cardstock, one of the colours in the DSP. *crafting hack alert* I used a kitchen product to make applying the die cuts a little more easy…. I put the die cut words face down on some Press ‘n Seal wrap, then applied dots of Multipurpose Glue to the back of them. I picked up the wrap and then placed it onto the card where I wanted the words, rubbed over top and then carefully peeled back the wrap.
We made this card during Stampers Club this month, and the Press ‘n Seal was great for transporting the die cuts (and making sure that the little dot on top of the “J” didn’t get lost!), as well as applying them to the card. It made making the playful tent card much easier! We are meeting virtually for club, which means everyone gets their card kits ahead of club night, and then we gather via Zoom (or via recording for those who can’t make it “live”) to assemble the cards. Club is also great for those who like to be able to purchase items that are only available with Stampin’ Rewards, like this DSP! Each member joins for a 6 month period, and once during that 6 month period, each member gets to use the Stampin’ Rewards for the club orders that month. It’s a great way to budget out craft spending since there’s a minimum order required ($33CAD product at this time), and also know that you’ll be able to earn guaranteed Stampin’ Rewards! If you’re in Canada and are interested in joining us, contact me. New members can start their 6 month membership at any club meeting.
