It's that time again for the We Create Blog Hop and the theme this month is March To A Different Beat! I decided to play around with one of our new additions to the Kits Collection called Rock Legend. The kit contains everything needed to make 8 cards, 4 each of 2 fun, musical designs. Perfect for that musician in your life!
Cute, right? But wait....I realized I had some of the new Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper that would go perfectly with this kit. So I decided to try the same card layout but adding an easy fun fold with the Designer Series Paper! Jazz it up just a little bit but still keeping it really simple!
The fun fold card base is a 5-1/2" x 12 inch piece of Designer Series Paper scored at 1-3/4", 4-3/4" and 7-3/4" and folded back and forth on itself with the small 1-3/4" layer secured down for the card front. You can see the top layer with the decor elements actually hangs over a little bit to give it some interest, but covers up the inside surprise where I added the fussy cut guitars from a scrap of the Designer Series Paper. I really thought they turned out nice. The first card with the guitar I added some layers of Real Red and Coastal Cabana cardstock and the second card with the giant pick and drum sticks I cut up one of the original card bases for my extra layers.
Measurements for guitar card:
- Rock & Roll DSP - 5-1/2" x 12", scored at 1-3/4", 4-3/4" & 7-3/4"
- Real Red Cardstock 3-3/4" x 5" (card front)
- Coastal Cabana Cardstock 4" x 5-1/4" (interior layer)
- Basic White Cardstock 3-3/4" x 5" (interior layer)
Measurements for drumsticks card:
- Rock & Roll DSP - 5-1/2" x 12", scored at 1-3/4", 4-3/4" & 7-3/4"
- Crushed Curry card base front cut down to 3-3/4" x 5" (card front)
- Real Red Cardstock 4" x 5-1/4" (interior layer)
- Basic White Cardstock 3-3/4" x 5" (interior layer)
