Scalloped Note Cards

I enjoyed a wonderful birthday yesterday, ending with grilled salmon and asparagus at the Beach House.  It was sooooooo good!  When you make a reservation and mention that it's for a special celebration, they even print your name in the menu.  They did it for our anniversary in June and again last night for my birthday.  The meal ended with the waitress bringing me a chocolate/caramel dessert which had a birthday message written on the plate with caramel sauce.  How divine!  Yes, divine.  I love chocolate and caramel and when you combine them, you get divine.  It's a scientific fact, I'm sure.  After dinner, we sat on a bench and enjoyed the lake view for a little while.  I came home and found unopened mail at my place and enjoyed a hand made birthday card from one of my dearest friends.  Thank you, Elaine.  I loved it!

And now for today's post --- scalloped note cards.  These came out in our Annual Catalog and I love them.  They come in 4 colors, with coordinating envelopes ... Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Balmy Blue and Petal Pink.  Here are some designs I came up with for using these note cards.

These last 3 cards are the designs I used for my Summer Open House Party (Make and Takes).  They were fun!

Today, I'll be putting the finishing touches on my latest Paper Pumpkin kit projects and then I can take photos of them.  I came up with one more card idea I want to try, using some of the left over pieces.  It will be a full sized card, too.  I'm really having fun with this kit.  Check back to see my creations ... and remember ... the deadline to sign up for the July Paper Pumpkin kit is July 10.

Calypso Coral Birds 2 Ways

I designed a full-sized card and then used the same dimensions, figured out my scoring, and came up with a second design for a card.  Here's what I created.

Here's my first design.

The DSP is so pretty, it can be used as as focal piece!

Here's my new design.

I love that it worked out to use the same card base dimensions.  I used the Stamparatus to perfectly position both images on the inside of my card.

You could add more white CS on the back of the front flap (on the inside) if you wanted to write more.

This is such a cute design!  It was fun and super easy to create it.

Again, here are both cards ... complete with coordinating envelopes.
