A Thank You Card

Today's card is a matted Thank You card.  What is interesting about it is the color combination of orange and lavender.  I'm not sure that the picture does this card justice.  The card is a beautiful orangy-lavender with accents of green.

Items used:

• Shades of orange card stock by Bazzill (three shades in all- lightest shade was used for the card base)
• Lavender shimmer card stock
• Patterned paper from Bo Bunny
• Green Ribbon
• Word and thin line Dazzles in gold by Hot off the Press

Here is a good picture of the matting I did.

Each mat has a different width to add interest.  This was easy to accomplish with no measuring by using Perfect Layers (Click HERE).  This is not a sales pitch.  I really love these rulers.  I don't do any measuring and can mat perfectly every time.  If you do a lot of mats, you might want to look into them.

Postcard Happy Birthday

Items used:

• red card stock for card base
• patterned floral paper from Hobby Lobby
• Jewels from Michaels
• Sentiment from Hunky Dory
• Red Ribbon
• Silver glossy
• Postcard is from a 12 x 12 scrapbook paper that was all postcards.  I think it was Graphic 45

This is another card that was partly made from my stash.  I was cleaning last night trying to get my pile of paper scraps down to  manageable size before they all tumbled to the floor. I found several partly made cards that I hadn't finished.  So, you;; be seeing some of these throughout the month of November.

I had cut the postcard from a piece of 12 x 12 card stock and outlined part of it with bling on a roll.  I tore the other art then layered it onto silver glossy and tore the silver to match the matting.

For my card base I decided on red.  This card was going to be for Valentines last year!  But I made it into a birthday card.  I used a deep purple, green and pink floral pattern to mat the thing ontomy red card base.

I attached a sentiment with mounting tape.
