Trio of Cards

 Hello,

Today's project is a trio of 3 x 3 cards packaged in an acetate box. 

I remember when this was the size card included in a gift, ie a shower gift.

I used the Cactus Cuties stamp set which has quickly become one of my favourites. I'm a plant person so how could I not love this stamp set. 

These cards are very simple....a bit of dsp, embossed background, the image and a sentiment. All wrapped up in tiny cards.

Until next time....

More Cactus Cuties

 Hello,

Frigid temperatures this weekend so it's a great time to stay indoors and craft. 

A great way to add interest to your cards is to layer. These layers can consist of embossed paper, a variety of designer series paper or die cut elements. Adhering dimensionals will also add pop to your card.

For this card I layered die cut circles and also used the Plaid Builder die to mimic a window pane.

Think of ways you can add interest to your cards. I'd love to hear your ideas. Leave a comment below.

Until next time....

Fun Fold Pocket Card

 Hello,

Here’s an easy fun fold for any occasion. The idea comes from The Paper Pixie.

The insert slides out for a personal note.

Measurements:

Base (in this case Basic Black): 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2" and 9 3/4"- fold and burnish score lines ensuring the smallest section is folded in front to form a flap. Round the corners of each end of the base. 

DSP (in this case Abstract Beauty) : 3" x 4" and 1" x 4"- adhere to the front of the base and flap.

Place a small bead of glue on either side of the inside of the base. Fold closed. 

Insert base (in this case Garden Green): 3 1/2" x 5"

Insert layer (Basic White): 3 1/4" x 4 3/4"- adhere to the insert base, 

Decorate/embellish as desired. For this card I used the Cactus Cuties stamp set.

Until next time.... thanks for visiting.
