Coordinating Stampin' Up! Colors: Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Old Olive and also Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz
I have a couple of quick & cute cards for you today.
If you already have this kit, you'll have found the cards/envelopes are business card sized. Great for keeping in your purse (which is what the storage bag is for), or using for a gift cards, etc.
However, for everyday card making/sending, you may find them too small. No problem, Stampin' Up! Note Cards & Envelopes to the rescue.
First up is one of my favorite alternate designs I like to do with Paper Pumpkin kits. It's kinda two cards coming together to make one card (so worth it!)
You'll need one of the "mini cards" from the kit and one Note Card & Envelope (5" x 3-1/2"). I don't have a name for this style of card, but had a few suggestions...ie: Dawn's Delight or Flip Flap card. After making one - you decide (and let me know what you think).
How'd She DO That? Flip Flap Note Card
- Decorate a mini card from the kit and fold in half
- Trim off 1" from front panel of a Whisper White Note Card...along the 5" edge
- Wrap mini card around Note Card (mini card will open from the left, note card will open from the right)
- Adhere back side of mini card to back side of note card.
- Adhere 4-1/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Pool Party cardstock to inside of card (optional, but I liked the added dimension it gave the card)
- Stamp envelope using Crumb Cake ink
This view gives you a peak on how it opens.
Here it is fully open.
Next up is also an easy alternate card, using a full-size 5-1/4" x 4-1/4" card.
I have my friend, Julie Davison to thank for the inspiration for this card. She shared a similar style card using last month's Paper Pumpkin, and I thought it was a brilliant idea. I promised myself I'd give it a try with our next Paper Pumpkin kit that had small cards.
How'd She DO That? Beach Card
- Do not fold the card base from the kit...keep it flat and use as a full panel for a regular 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card
- Decorate with die cuts from kit - near the center of the panel (this will hide the score line)
- Adhere to 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Pool Party cardstock.
- Then adhere to folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Crumb Cake card base.
- Stamp envelope using Crumb Cake ink and Coastal Cabana from kit (sand dollar was stamped off)
So...what do you think? Fun and EASY cards that you can mail - yay!
