Happy New Year & Welcome to our first Class Kit for 2022.
Create your own adventure #1. This is one of the class kits cards for January. The paper is Abstract Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is a new size of 48 sheets, of 4” x 6”. There are 4 each of 12 double sided designs. Each of the 12 designs has gold highlights on one side. The other side is ‘quieter’.
I have used two different sheets, cut diagonally (for this card design, we cut in pairs! And I’ve done it for you!) The paper in both of my examples is the same, but I have used different sides of the paper for each card.
You will be able to choose which you prefer for your card. The dies used are Pierced Blooms and Scalloped Contours. Ribbon is Just Jade & Gold Braided Ribbon, all from the Annual Catalogue.
Read on for more details and Step-by-step Directions.
Abstract Beauty Specialty Paper & Pierced Blooms Card
We will be using the pretty Abstract Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper, Pierced Blooms and Scalloped Contours Dies.
The inspiration for these cards are designs the new Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-Bration Brochure. There are always fabulous designs in our catalogues!
Here are my finished cards.
Let me show you the cards that inspired me. It’s called CASEing the Catty. Copy And Share Everything!
Abstract Beauty (Mini Catalogue p. 48) inspired me with the diagonal cut & ribbon while the flower card on page 15 of the Sale-a-Bration Brochure inspired me with the Pierced Blooms and layout.
Key Ingredients for Abstract Beauty & Pierced Blooms Card
Abstract Beauty Suite
I have used two items from the Abstract Beauty Suite; Abstract Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper and Hello Beautiful Bundle.

The paper is stunning as one side is foiled with gold while the other is ‘quieter’. We are using two sheets from the pack, cut on the diagonal and in pairs. You cut both at the same time, layered up as they will appear on the card (one gold facing up and one neutral facing up. The DSP will then lay up correctly on your card front. You can flip the paper to achieve a totally different look. I have cut all the paper for the kits!.
Scalloped Contours Dies
These dies are one of my go-to sets to add a bit of flair. They are part of Color & Contour Bundle I will use one of the flower images for the inside of the card.

Pierced Blooms Dies
These dies are also a favourite. The add different textures to the beautiful gold foiled abstract paper.
