Letting the Paper Do the Work


I've had this 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper with flocked flowers for about fifteen years. I recently came across it and thought it was time to cut it up, while I had it out. Otherwise it may have been buried for another 15 years! Each of these three cards fit into a legal size envelope. They are 4 x 9.25 inches. The sentiments all came from my parts. I think this first one is from Gina K. It was cut out with a Stampin' Up! Word Window punch. (I think that's what it's called.) I added a light touch of ink over it with a blending brush. In real life, it matches the pink wonderfully. I had also cut several extra layers for dimension.


The sentiment on this second one had been printed on my computer and then foiled with a laminator and matted with gold foil cardstock. It's popped up on foam squares.


And the sentiment on this third one had been done with my Glimmer Hot Foil system. It's mounted on foam squares. The patterned paper was the left-over and I matted it with a matching cardstock and placed it toward the left side of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
