The July 2021 Sheetload of Card sketch creates twelve mini slimline cards with a postcard type base and the fold on the panel above it. It uses up two pieces of 12x12 patterned paper. I used a purple and pink theme for this sheetload. I opted to dry emboss the base card to add a bit more interest.
Cutting the paper by using the instructions, one gets six of each kind - one paper as the larger panel and the other as the smaller one. In this sheetload I was able to use some ribbon from my stash too.
I completed the cards by die cutting the word Hugs out of the white sentiment spot and then inlaying the word again cut out of dark purple cardstock. I love die cut inlays and this really looked great on these little cards.
Here is an image of the card open to show where the personal message goes. I have cut some more batches with this design, so look for some more variations in the future.

You did a wonderful job with this patterned paper. Your gift cards are beautiful, and I like that you made two types of cards with reversed patterns. You did a great job, Monica!

A great way to use up your patterned paper. Very cute. I also make envelopes out of my patterned paper and then use a white address label. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous, Monica! I especially like that you were able to create so many cards at once. I DO have tons of DP, and would like to use it, as well. Thanks for the inspiration on how to get that accomplished! hugs, de

ReplyDeleteCraftyAl is fantastic. I watched her back in 2019 and 2020 but haven't done anything with her designs this year. You are inspiring me to do that! I love the colors in this card. It really is a great way to use up patterned paper.
