Card Making Technique
Sometimes easier is better. Cards do not have to be elaborate, painstaking endeavors to be beautiful and worthwhile. Here a simple stamped image is colored, and then layered onto solid cardstock.
This then becomes a simple and enjoyable way to wish someone a Happy Fall or Thanksgiving. I have the coordinating envelope, made with my A6 template, from plain white paper, and that cute pumpkin/grapes stamp in the lower left corner. Fast,simple, fun, and it still says “I really care about you, and I made you a card”!
Halloween Cards 5
Here’s a fun card - and the tag on the envelope can be used as an ornament or an embellishment for scrapbooking. It is 2 sided - so you can print the recipient’s name, too. Giving hand made cards for family holidays is a great way to say you were thinking of someone. And creating the coordinating envelope is not only less expensive than buying one - it also makes a nicer presentation.
This is an example of a card that is to be hand delivered or put in with a gift - as it isn’t appropriate for the mail service - but that’s okay - the recipient will love it!
This was created with the card and envelope templates at Green Sneakers!
Halloween Cards 4
Here’s a fun 6″ x 6″ square Halloween Card. These cards can be mailed through the postal system, but due to the irregular size they may charge a little more - please be sure to check with your postal office when mailing. Simply adhere a mailing label to the front of the card.
This card is handstamped, and uses the same coordinating paper for the card and the envelope. By using the same papers for both it creates a cohesive presentation.
This card and envelope were created from templates at Greensneakers.com!
Halloween Cards 3
This Halloween Card is also designed to be sent through the mail - notice that it might work best with an address label, due to the colorful paper on the envelope - but the post office will happily mail it. This is a standard A7(5″ x 7″) card and envelope - created from templates by Greensneakers.com!
Halloween Cards 2
Here’s a Halloween Card created with hand stamping, coordinating layered papers, and ribbon. This card is also designed to go through the mail - the envelope is just awaiting the address. This is an A6 (4″ x 6″) card and envelope created from templates from Greensneakers.com!
All it needs now is a recipient!
Halloween Cards
I’m ready for Halloween! The upcoming entries are all going to be Halloween Themed Cards. This one is designed to send through the mail - the envelope is just awaiting the address to be written on! This card is hand stamped, and layered with pattened and solid colors. It is an A2 (quarter fold) card and coordinating envelope - created with templates from Green Sneakers.
Card Making - Cards to Give
Welcome to the new series - Cards to Give. We’ve just complete our 10 card series on cards and envelopes designed to send through the mail. This series will be on decorating the enveloping to coordinate with the card. The presentation of the two together is a show stopper. It will make the perfect set for giving to someone in person either as the gift (with a little something inside) or to be the card presented with a gift. What could be more “upper scale”? The card above, for example, is for a the birth of a baby boy, and the decorated tag on the coordinating envelope is all set for the recipient’s name in a flourishing scrawl. The inside is blank for you to add your sentiment - and the whole presentation so outshines a plain white envelope - well, there’s really no comparing, is there?
It isn’t that these cards must be given by hand, they could, of course, be included with a gift that is being mailed, or be put in a clasp envelope and sent through the post, as well. The hand made card in and of itself says “I really care about you”.
This card and envelope were created using the A7 Kreate-A-Lope set by Green Sneakers.
