Here is a super fun idea for a greeting card! I was inspired by one of Iced Images’ 5×7 creations. And I just HAD to adapt those measurements to work for the typical Stampin’ Up! size cards…4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.
Check this card out!
Here is a view from another angle.
I put together 3 versions of this card. Here are the other two. (I demonstrated this next one during our Stampers With ART team gathering on Zoom last night.)
And this one is my favorite because the colors appeal to me the most and the drink looks the tastiest to me (is it a Mojito?).
Do you have a favorite?
Here is a view of the back of two of the cards.
These cards DO fold down to fit into A2 medium size envelopes.
I’m planning to give tips & directions for creating this style card in my Online Paper Crafting Class on YouTube this coming Wednesday, May 7th at 11 AM Central Time. And for those cards I’ll be using products from the new Beautiful Gallery Suite. I invite you to tune in if you are able (or watch the replay). But for now, here are measurements for the base pieces and layers for these cards.
