Here’s another easy card, almost like the one I made in yesterday’s post! It’s the Storybook Moments Easy Card, and it is fine that it is so simple because the paper is so cute in the background! Yesterday when I made the Quick and Easy Bright Borders Card I said I used one of the generic patterns on “the other side” of the cute paper. Today I used the themed side of the paper with the cute little squirrel and flower images.
The card base is Boho Blue cardstock. It coordinates with the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper has darling images of little animals, gardening images, and countryside cottages. Plus you get two sheets of diecuts to go with the papers. You can use them on cards, scrapbook pages, or other projects.
Today I just flipped over the paper I used yesterday so I was using all the little squirrels swinging, playing, and doing other fun things. I made the same type of greeting as I did yesterday using the Bright Borders Stamp Set and the To The Point Label Punch. I stamped the border with Boho Bue ink and punched it out. To help it stand out a little bit, I also punched a piece of Boho Blue cardstock and cut it in half horizontally. Then I adhered it with some glue to the back of the top and bottom of the label which leaves a little white space on the back, but no one will see that. You have a choice of putting those points of the border at the top or to the side. Either way works. I liked them at the top and bottom.
For a little bit of embellishment, I added two gold Low Profile Dots in the center of the flowers at the top and bottom. These dots are great because they truly are “low profile” so they won’t stick up and poke the envelope when you mail it. This package has gold and light pink dots in several different sizes. They are great to have in your stash.
