Sometimes you want to send a card for “no reason” or to let a friend know you’re thinking about them. Here’s a card to say hello that will serve those purposes!
I might have a bit of an issue with this Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder – in that I LOVE using it for my cards. It’s one of those things that I will have to force myself away from when designing class cards (because class attendees might like to try out different products – go figure). However, you will notice that it’s another blue card….LOL. I can only do so much outside my typical comfort zone, people!!
This card features the To a Wild Rose Bundle which includes the To a Wild Rose stamp set and Wild Rose Dies, at a discount vs buying the products individually. LAZY CRAFTER ALERT / #craftinghack I lifted the colour palette for this card from the ribbon. The Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen Ribbon is so pretty that I wanted to highlight it. I used Crumb Cake as the brown tone for the card. I placed the plain linen side out on the front of the card and then used the other side when tying the knot. Some class attendees opted to use the blue edged side showing for both portions though! My lazy crafter way of doing the knot – one length of ribbon goes on the card (tape the ends in behind with SNAIL or adhesive tape), and then use another slightly shorter piece of ribbon and tie it around the first. By doing it this way, you can move the knot around to where you’d like it on the card front without undoing the entire ribbon piece!
If you are in need of a card to say hello to a friend, or just want to get out and try some techniques and products, come to a class! The Monthly Card Class is held the first Wednesday of each month (generally…) in north Burlington ON, and there’s an afternoon and an evening session. Your class fee includes all the supplies required for the 4 cards we create during class – including adhesive and envelopes. You can check out the upcoming dates on the YamStamps Events Page or message me to register or get more information. Hope to see you in class soon!
