I used the recently retired Adventurous Sky suite of products for my card:

Measurements:

The Night of Navy base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
I used a Copper Clay mat measuring 5-2/8 by 4-1/8 inches
The four different DSP (designer series paper) patterns all have checks or plaids and they all work together
- The papers were trimmed to 1-1/2 by 2-1/8 inches , 1-1/2 by 3 inches, 2 by 1-7/8 inches, and 2 by 3-1/4 inches
Trim a piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Punch a 1-inch circle from a piece of DSP for the envelope seal
- Run the seal through a XYRON create-a-sticker to create a permanent seal
I was able to get both planes and the sentiment for the front cropped from on piece of white cardstock measuring 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches
- HINT: About once a year I take 3 packs of white cardstock to a local FedEx store and have them all cut down to 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches so I can just grab what I need and go
- Just make sure you have some 8-1/2 by 11 cardstock left in your stash – trust me on that
Trim another piece of white cardstock to 4 by 5-1/4 inches for the inside of the card

What I Did:

Stamp the planes using Momento Tuxedo Black ink
Use the Basic Gray, Copper Clay, Boho Blue, and Night of Navy blends to color both planes
Stamp the sentiment for the front in Night of Navy ink and crop it using a die from Countryside Corners die set
Stamp the sentiment and the smallest plane on the inside white cardstock using Night of Navy ink
Use multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the DSP and cardstock mat pieces to the front of the base
Add dimensionals to the back of both planes and adhere to the front of the card
Use a piece of Copper Clay ribbon under the sentiment panel and adhere with glue dots
Add dimensionals on the back of the sentiment panel and adhere to the front of the card
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
