Citrus Kit Class

Well its official we can start having in person classes so my very first class will be later this month and I thought I would start with a kit class. I love this all inclusive kit class and it just feel so much like summer. The stamp set is super cute and will be great to use in many different types of projects. For the class, the participants will be making fifteen cards but I of course had to make some alternative cards that show them how they can change things up with a few supplies. I was pretty happy with my five options and I wanted to show you one of the cards to get a taste of what the class would be like if you took it from me in person or online. So today's card is one of my favorite's and it really shows off the stamp set.

Let's start with going over the kit and its contents. As you see below you get a nice themed box to hold everything in or to decorate it up and give as a gift. You also get a stamp block, stampin spot in night of navy, fifteen card bases in three designs, die cuts labels, vellum flowers, two types of adhesives (stampin dimensionals, glue dots), and a great citrus themed stamp set. The colors in this kit are some of my favorite and have a nice summer theme. For the alternative cards I did add a few extra supplies to the kit for each of the participants but you truly could get the supplies from your scraps. 

So below is the cards you make from the kit and the instructions are included in the kit to make the five cards.

They are simple and cute. Below is the card I am going to show you today and its is one of my 5 alternatives we will make in the class.

 

So how do you make it:

You first need to grab your supplies:

• a 1 1/2 inch strips of in color pattern paper in just jade and misty moonlight
• 2 inch strip of calypso corral, granny apple green, and daffodil delight 
• vellum flowers
• hexagon label
• the garden green watercolor card base
• the die cut with full size lemons with flowers.
• glue dots and dimensional

1. Step one is to take the card base and attach the die cut to the right of the card.

2. Take the hexagon label and the night of navy ink so you can stamp your label with the sentiment of your choice.

3. Now we are going to take our in color pattern paper and stamp out a few sets of leaves. Fussy cut those out and set aside.

4. Take your strips of cardstock and stamp out three citrus slices on each strip and stamp out three full size citrus on each cardstock.

5. You will then need to fussy cut out one full size citrus in each color for a total of three, and cut out one slice in each color for a total of three slices. You will take one slice and cut it in half to make a wedge.

6. This is where you will take all your pieces you have cut out and start assembling the card.

7. I used dimensionals to attach your label at the bottom of the pattern paper. Once you have done this you can start planning out how to arrange your fruit.

8. I wanted it to be a topsy turvy cascade around the sentiment and before I committed I made sure I tried out the placement first. You can take a picture of it so you remember it and this will make it easier to put together. 

9. When I put it together I used glue dots to attach the fruit and leaves together first then added dimensionals to add it to the card. I then added the wedge with a half dimensional on top of the cascade for a bit more depth. 

10. Finally I added the vellum flowers and then you can decorate the inside with the extra pieces.
