You are FABULOUS!

Whew!  I think I finally get to re-join the stamping world 🙂  Tomorrow night is my stamp group night, this time our theme is "Just a note".  Well, I just got 2 new sets from My Time Made Easy and I was just dieing to play with them, and this was the perfect opportunity.  So the frame there is from the Killer Curves: Fancy Frames set.  I stamped it in Pure Poppy Ink and then added some red teeny rhinestones to give it some dimension.  The sentiment is from the Sensational Sentiments set, I inked it with Tea Rose ink.  The inside of the frame still seemed like it had a little too much white space, so I took the small flower image from the Paper Pattern Pieces set.  I inked it up with Coffee Bean ink and added teeny pink rhinestones to the middle.  I used the labels 3 Nesties to punch out the frame.  I have to say, for not stamping in FOREVER, I am rather happy with this card.  One of my fellow DTers, Maria, showed us this link earlier today for an envelope idea for square cards (easier for envelopes and avoids extra postage for a square card).

First I took a regular, standard sized card envelope (for a 4.25" x 5.5" card) and punched 3 little hearts along the one side.

Then I placed my card on top of the envelope and over to one side.  I cut a strip of the red card stock at 1 1/4" wide.

Finally, insert the card stock strip on the side where the punched hearts are and insert your card next to it… Voila!  a cute envelope and regular postage (of course my cards are ALWAYS too thick and ALWAYS require extra postage, lol!).  I hope you like this and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the envelop idea.  Have a FABULOUSLY inky weekend!

  1. I told you this was the best idea!! I use to avoid this cute little square cards because I couldn’t find an envelope. Your card is beautiful…that is still one of my favorite papers 🙂
