Here’s my patterned paper easy-peasy card:
Creating the Easy-Peasy Card:
- The Berry Burst base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the mat
- When I was making Christmas cards, I cropped so many arches from white cardstock, and I kept the negative of the arches to use for mats on future cards
- The Regal Winter DSP (designer series paper), which is retired, measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- Trim another piece of the DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Don’t forget to punch a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- I cropped the white and Berry Burst labels from scraps using the Nested Essentials die set
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
- After adhering the DSP to the white cardstock, I wrapped a length of white ribbon around the paper and tied it in a square knot
- Then I adhered the Berry Burst label under the ribbon
- I added dimensionals under the sentiment label making sure to straddle the ribbon
- The white cardstock for the inside measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches, and I stamped the birthday sentiment in Berry Burst
- Finally, I added brushed brass butterflies to the front of the card
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
