One of the make n takes we made at OnStage in Madison,Wisconsin last November was this cute gift card. I used a lot of the new items from the Occasions catalog. At home using my Envelope Punch board, I made a matching envelope.
When thinking about Fix it Friday, I decided to try and take this cute design and turn it into a full sized card.
1. I enlarged the background paper so that is would fit on a full sized card.
2. I chose Crumb Cake for my card base because of the color of the accent piece on the card.
3. I added some Baker's Twine on the bottom of the card. How did I get that twin around the fold of the card? I punched a tiny hole in the fold and on the opposite edge so that the strands would be able to stay in place.
What a great week I had getting back into stamping and working with some products from the new catalog.
Next week I will be focusing on the Party Animal Suite. I will use each item that is meant to coordinate. So, come back Monday to see what Miscellaneous idea I will come up with.
Have a great weekend and Happy Stamping!
Yesterday was my day to go to Knollwood and stamp with the ladies that live there. They wanted Valentine cards when we talked last month, but I thought they might like cards that could be used for multiple reasons. Here is what I look for in a card I take to Knollwood.
1. Multiple layers that can be glued together.
2. Simple stamping that is done on a separate piece of paper.(That way if there is a mistake made in the stamping it does not ruin the card.
3. A WOW design that they will love making.
You can see how this card meets all my requirements. All the punching except for the heart was done ahead of time. I chose the second card they made because of the shimmer paper. Check it out here. Can you see why I chose this card?
