Floral Wreath Slimline Card

Hello my crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a softly coloured Slimline card I plan on sending to a friend for Happy Mail.  I used some OLD patterned paper from my stash - the reverse sides of the patterned paper as the front sides have patterns on them that competed with the soft water colour look of the florals. 

The wreath and florals are from a suite by Pinkfresh Studio - this past summerI bought the Washi Tape, stamp and coordinating die last year and it was my first experience with using Washi Tape with a coordinating die. I love the soft colours and the pretty gold foiling on the Tape. You get so many floral elements - including the wreath - with one pass through the machine. ❤️  The Hello is also by Pinkfresh Studio, cut from white cardstock and gold mirror cardstock. I adhered the layers together with the gold on the top to make the word more sturdy.

Inside, I used one of the die cut wreath's that I had managed to cut 'off centre'. I was disappointed when I realized what I'd done, but hung onto it just in case I could use a portion of it somehow. Done and done! I can easily write a note on the pale green water coloured panel when I go to send the card.

Christmas Wreath Trifold Card

Hello crafty friends ...

Today I'm sharing a Christmas Trifold card that I made using a bunch of older items in my stash ... I love using these things up, especially when they have been hanging around in my craft room for as long as some of these have!

I have a walkthrough of my card and a tutorial on ways you can make a Trifold card HERE on YouTube!

This larger than A2 card fits in a standard 5 x 7" envelope and it started out with the wreath. Then I chose the patterned paper and what I wanted to use to decorate the wreath. The sentiment was a cut-apart from an older paper pad and the layered poinsettias were in my stash.

Inside I added a large sentiment stamp and another one of the layered poinsettias.

I love Kraft card stock and have used it a LOT this year. In fact, I went through an entire ream of it and I'm already on my second one. While I will continue to use Kraft in 2021, you can also expect a lot of rainbow colours as well.
