Happy Anniversary to my brother Mike and sister-in-law Diane – It seems like just yesterday that my dad lost a front tooth and a large group of us piled in the car after the rehearsal dinner to go out for a little bit!
For their card I decided to try a design I’ve not used before for their card. Not sure what to call it, but I did use the cut out portion of the card base for the mat on the front.
The card starts with a normal base cut to 5½” x 8½”, scored at 4¼”, then on the front 2¼” from the bottom I cut across to the fold and up the top and removed that portion. Next I added a piece of designer series paper 2″ x 4″ to the bottom flap. Using the card stock I just cut off, I cut a mat 3¼” x 4″, with an additional mat 3″ x 3¾” and whisper white 2¾” x 3½”. Images from the Abstract Impressions Photopolymer Stamp set where stamped on both the inside and out. Happy Anniversary is from Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set.
Here is a side view of the card:
For me at least, when I attached the inside stamped piece of Whisper White, I used the front of the card to lay the image on, add adhesive to the back, then close the card from the back – this way I made sure that piece would be hidden behind the front focal image.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope this project has inspired you to try paper crafting. Have a great day – Craft On!
