I made this envelope card tonight. I was meant to go to my friend Sheryl's but she forgot she invited me over (luckily I phoned before I left lol). So I went down to my craft room and made cards anyway.
CARD ONE:
I kinda like the fact the colours clash but sort of still look ok together. I put it in the scanner as I thought that might be better than the weird colours I get when I photograph at night. Anyway, it's called an envelope card because that yellow and cream card in the middle (with the 'for you' message) lifts out so you can write a message in it. Something a little different anyway.
CARD TWO:
I think after tonight I'm all stocked up on true friend cards but I figure you can use them for birthdays as well as notes of friendship?
CARD THREE:
The paper on this card and the one above is reversable and when I cut, one piece was 6cm and one 4cm...but that means I had one of each (but the opposite) left over so I decided to make a second card.
CARD FOUR:
I loved this card. I made it when Megumi was here...but I liked it so much that I decided to make another copy tonight.
CARD FIVE:
This card was a disaster! Nothing I did worked, colour schemes clashed, I cut everything crooked...nothing looked right. Worse still, I had bought a new snail adhesive and it stuck things perfectly for a good five minutes and then everything lifted off the card and I had to restick it (I threw it in the rubbish despite only buying it this evening). Those are diamantes in the corner. I call this one my disaster card of the night lol.
I think I'm up to 41 cards this year...pittiful effort!
