Tart & Tangy All Occasion

And we will be making an "all occasion" card as follows - the card makers can put whatever sentiment they choose on it - I've made it a "thank you"



Stamp Set: Tart & Tangy, Short & Sweet
Card Stock: Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Summer Picnic Designer Paper
Ink: Wild Wasabi, Old Olive and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers, White Gel Pen
Embellishments: Wild Wasabi Double Stitched Ribbon
Punches: Scallop Circle, 1 3/8" & 1 1/4" Circle, Word Window, Double Rectangle

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I also made this Flap card which would be excellent for gift giving - you could cut little notches and put in a gift card - or simnply add a sentiment and give it as a card. Was fun to try.



Stamp Set: Tart & Tangy
Card Stock: Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, Summer Picnic Designer Paper
Ink: Real Red and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers, White Gel Pen
Punches: Scallop Circle, 1 3/8" & 1 1/4" Circle Punches

I added a velcro opening to the flap

There is a wonderful tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers here.

And here's the card opened up - I haven't decorated it yet, but not sure yet what I'll do with it :) For some reason the inside of the card didn't scan in the right color - it's supposed to be bashful blue!! But you "get the picture"!!
