Get tired of always making the same size cards, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, well take a break and make a different size. Stampin' Up sells different size envelopes like our Small Open end envelopes 6 3/4 x 3 1/2 that you can mail still taking the standard postage. Try making a 6 x 3 card, 12 x 12 cardstock sheets are perfect for making this size of card, you get 4 cards from each sheet. Want a stand up tall card, cut your cardstock 6 x 6 and score at three or if you want a long skinny card with a side fold, cut the cardstock 3 x 12. Today's card is tall and skinny so 6 x 6 scored at 3
I love Lucky Limeade for a Christmas card, traditional but bright and cheery and mixed with Riding Hood Red it certainly pops. I stamped the tall tree from Punch Pals, a fun Christmas set that has been around for awhile. I stamped the snowflakes using Lucky Limeade for a subtle tone on tone background and then the tree is coloured in with Lucky Limeade with Riding Hood Red baubles. I used some retired Riding Hood Red tafetta ribbon (I am almost finished that roll!) and the sentiment is from Petite Pairs but the border around it is from Punch Pals set. Inside
Happy Stamping,
