Thankful, Grateful, Blessed ... Another Card

Here's another card, a completely different version, using some of the same stamps as with my previous post.  In that post, I used a die cut flower and the entire card was done with shades of Cajun Craze.  Today's card is all about Soft Suede.  

This card also features a fun, unique fold which is super easy to create.  After scoring your card in half, score the front side of the card again, right down the center.  Fold (on the score line) to fold the front piece back onto the front of the card.

I added some texture by using sponging and linen thread.

I added a DSP strip and stamping on the inside piece of the card, to completely coordinate with the front of the card.

Thankful, Grateful, Blessed Card

This is a good time of year to really focus on all our many blessings.  I especially am thankful for a sweet, little baby that I get to hang with every day and who ended his super busy afternoon of play by falling asleep in my arms ... about 15 minutes before his mom came to take him home.  There's nothing better than holding a sweet little baby boy in your arms and watching him fall asleep. 

This is a simple, yet elegant card.

I love this die cut flower!  I cut it from Cajun Craze and then sponged the edges to give it even more texture.  I love this gorgeous paper, too.

Razzleberry Fun Fold Card

Today's card was created with a color I don't use very often ... no special reason ... just don't.  I am trying to use it more frequently, as it is a very pretty color.  I used one of my favorite fun folds to create this card. 

The card is a standard size of 4 1/4 X 11" and is scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".  You fold like a regular card and then fold the front back the opposite direction.

You can fancy up the inside of the card, as well, coordinating the design to work when the card is opened or closed.

For fun, I tied some of the ribbon around the envelope.  This may not go through the mail, but you can do it for a hand delivered card.  The ribbon is gorgeous!
