I absolutely loved the August '23 Sheetload of Cards, and after cutting the papers for my first set - even before I assembled them - I cut the papers for a couple more sets. This is one of the sets I cut and now they are finished and ready to mail out.
The paper package had a sheet of borders, so I trimmed two border strips from the sheet and cut them in half. That gave me the 6" width needed for that angled strip and no additional sentiment was needed!
I used up some stickers from my stash as well. Usually I add my stickers onto white card stock then fussy cut them so I can add foam tape for dimension. It also makes the stickers a little more sturdy.
Inside the cards, I have a stamped greeting along with a strip of washi tape & narrow gold tape for some shine.

I decided to cancel the subscription that provided linked thumbnails to what products I used on my cards. It was costing me out of pocket each month, so I’m back to listing what I used with a few affiliate links included.
