Creative Elements Card Sets

Here are more card sets that I made for my Mom's church, this time using Creative Elements. Though I was short on time, I was actually very happy for this opportunity to be able to create these for a very good cause. I did forget to take pictures before wrapping up these beauties. They are however, pretty straight forward one layer cards with 4 cards and envelopes to each package.

For the card holder, I just put the cards in a plastic sleeve then used a 8-1/2" piece of cardstock measured the width of the package plus 1/8". In this case it was 4-1/2" x 8 1/2".

It was scored with the long edge at the top at 5-7/8" and 6-1/4" and then scalloped the edge using the Adorning Accents Framelits . The Very Vanilla front layer is 1-3/4" x 4-1/4 and also scalloped.

Tip: if you run both your color and very vanilla cardstocks through the die at the same time, then your scallops will easily line up.

To hold everything in place, I put a couple of glue dots on the cs in the back (against the cellophane) and tied the ribbon snugly in the front.

Recipe:

Stamps: Creative Elements, Perfectly Penned and Curly Cute

Paper: Pre-made card sets with matching envelopes that I already had on hand and Midnight Muse and Very Vanilla cs

Inks: Soft Suede, Midnight Muse, Calypso Coral and Summer Starfruit

Other: the ribbons are from my huge stash =)

Card Sets for Mom's Church

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but I've had a very special visitor in town and had taken a couple of weeks off from posting. But as you can see I have been very busy creating!  This is one of several card sets I've made recently and it came together very quickly. The box is the Stampin Up You're a Gem box. Link is Here.

The box is only 3/8" wide but easily holds 4 cards and envelopes. My cards have no embelishments so if you're using embelishments then you may want to see how many you can get in the box. Isn't it cute? I love it! Oh! I just noticed I didn't do a good job cropping the pictures. I really need a photo box.

I'll come back later with the recipe and if you want instructions. I'll also post the other sets over the next few days.

Update: Here's the Recipe! 

Stamps: Reason to Smile, Curly Cute, Live in the Sunshine & Sincere Salutations (retired)

Paper: notecards I had on hand and for the box - Soft Suede, So Saffron, Very Vanilla

Inks: Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder and Pretty in Pink

Other: So Saffron grossgrain ribbon (retired)

I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by!
