Talk about good
timing! I needed to make a couple of cards to send out this week and the new
Cards, Tags and More Kit from Très Jolie arrived on my doorstep last Thursday…
It’s loaded with chippies and flowers and lace (oh my!) and best of all, Ciao Bella’s
Romantic Times collection.
I needed to get
the cards made and mailed by Saturday, so I kept them pretty much plain and
simple.
I started by
heat embossing two of the chipboard frames with Stampendous embossing powder
and put them aside.
Next, I selected
the images that I wanted for my cards and cut them down to 4” x 5”. Two more
pieces, at 4½” x 5½” were cut to serve as matting underneath. I inked all of
the edges, adhered the layers together, then taped them to cardstock cut and
scored to fit.
The actual
flower centers were made with bunched micro beads – a little too thick to mail
in a regular envelope. I removed them (they should come in handy later on!) and
replaced them with flat bottom pearls.
I was going to
add a few chipboard leaves, but I didn’t like the look, so I snipped off a bit
of the crochet lace, cut it in half lengthwise and tucked it underneath.
And that’s it:
two cards made in under 30 minutes and on their way!
