Stampin' Up! Card Kits for Charity

Image
 I took a little pause from my other projects last week to make a stack of card kits to be donated to a local women's refuge. Since the global pandemic hit, there have been devastating ripple effects in our community, one of which is increased risks in the home including domestic violence.

This is just a simple little box that I designed to fit four cards and envelopes. All four cards and box use DSP as a base from the Playing with Patterns set - isn't it beautiful?! I'm in love with the in-colour Purple Posy, so I picked five of the papers with this as the prominent colour. Each card is layered with Night of Navy cardstock and uses Whisper White as a base. I achieved this look by cutting the letters out, and then layering a couple of Night of Navy letters underneath, which...
