I'm hoping that today's projects will wake you up and get you ready for a week full of creativity! I plan on getting crafty this week for sure (I just hope that the kids can get along for their fall break and let me enjoy some time where I don't have to run around so much)!
I made our first project for today. It's a thank you card, and I used the Many Thanks set and the Unbeleafable sets on this one.
I used the square leaf stamp and some green ink to make the background. I thought that setting it on the diagonal would be pretty, and I really like the way it turned out. I gave it a mist with some Tattered Angels goodness and let it dry, then I layered ribbon and paper on top of the background. They're stuck down with my Xyron machine, so they're not going anywhere. For the leafy accents I stamped a few different stamps in the same green ink and then cut them out, leaving a green border around the leaves. I traced the main image in black ink and then layered them with raffia and foam adhesive. The sentiment is from the Many Thanks set and I love the font on it. Very simple and just perfect for any card!
Angela has a project for you that I think you'll love. This little card set and holder is super cute!
"With this project, I had busy newlyweds in mind - you know how much work it is to send out thank you's after a wedding! The smaller the card, the less you have to write, right? These cards are also very quick to reproduce and make, assembly-line fashion and would make a great gift."
"Each card is 3" square, and I've made two variations. One has the background paper stamped and corners rounded."
"This card has three corners punched, using a Kreaxions punch from Just Imagine Crafts. The sentiment is stamped and punched using a 1" circle punch from EK Success."
"I made a matchbook style case to hold three cards - any more and you'd need a box for them - the bottom flap tucks under the border punched strip to hold it closed."
