These beautiful cards are elegant and simple to make. Layers and border punches on metallic cardstock really make these cards stand out! Graphic 45 papers are so easy to work with, unless you are hesitant to cut into them. Sometimes the paper is so pretty it's hard to cut into. Just go for it. The creation that comes out of it is worth it and often very rewarding.
The shape of the "Hello" card is one of my favorites. It is size 3 1/2 x 12 scored at 6". It fits the common check envelopes you can buy in 100's at the dollar store. It also uses a scrap piece from one of the other cards.
I used scraps of chipboard behind the stamps to raise them. I find this sturdier than foam dots, and cheaper. Elegant ribbons are something I am hunting for all the time. They can really set the project right! On the "Celebration" card, I used a Tim Holtz Alteration die, #658570 Cameo Frame, to make the shape the green dot paper is in. It wasn't a long enough shape so I added an alternate color to the bottom, and it really worked out nice.
In the "Thinking of You" card again I used a Tim Holtz Alteration die, #658557 Pediments, this time in white chipboard. I then sprayed the chipboard with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist "Tattered Leather". It sits boldly at the top of the card.
I love the shape of the "Hello Friend " card! it is 8 1/4 x 7 1/2, and scored at 3 3/4. This will fit a normal business size envelope. It stands out tall among the group of cards. Finding envelopes for this card is fairly easy!
This class is running through the first week in June. Kits are available. E-mail me for more information.
Until next time!
