The four panels on this borrowed embossing folder make a great instant ard and so much more…
i cut some other papers into the four panels and matted them to make gift tags, I also used cut down panels as the focal point of cards of different sizes
an afternoon spent playing with just one folder proved much more productive than juggling with lots of dies etc. Good fun.
I want my handmade cards to be personalized and usually light-hearted so stamping a message isn’t the answer for those special cards. The scan n cut draw function with the universal pen holder means my gold gel pen can deliver a professional greeting, even direct on to this kanban linen look note card.
To add dimension I used the cat die from the crafts beautiful free gift this month and foam mounted it .
confession, although the card looked fab, clean and classy without, I had to add scan n cut ric rac border of gold top and bottom to hide a glue splodge
I also used the draw function to write ‘thanks’ inside. By keeping all the elements to gold this card looks understated and grown up. Love it
.
PS a dog version might be contemplated if I can work out the greeting !
Feeling a bit guilty about the big box of paper and craft bits I ordered with my birthday money, I decided to make up some card sets to bundle for charity sales have stared with Docrafts forever friends and will work to a target of selling 80 cards or raising £80 whichever is first achieved. Better get going!
I have seen YouTube demos where metallic thread is twizzled to make an embellishment so a wedding card seems a good place to try it.
lots of tape required to sandwich loops of thread between card and topper.
while embellishing it seemed sensible to add vellum flourishes, pearl drops and silver pen strokes too.
Ten cards and a box from my free (p&p only) hunkydory kit from create and craft. And I am only half way through the kit. Card bases and card from my stash was added but still a great value activity.
