This card was made for Craft Roulette #338 whose parameters were include a joyfold card project, Dusty Hues colors, an element that starts with “K” and torn paper as random. I used Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System to print press plates from Pinkfresh Studio and Spellbinders to make this thank you card.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: I used a purchased A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) cardbase and envelope along with a 4.25×5.5 panel folded in half and trimmed to fit the letterpressed sentiment panel. See video above for assembly. The decorative panels on the main card base were made with Pinkfresh Studio Press Plate Stippled Plaid. The torn paper strip was an embossed paper scrap glued to the side decorative panel.
Sentiments: The front sentiment “You are so Kind” is printed using Spellbinders BetterPress Press Plate Every Occasion – Floral K and Sentiment. Inside the joyfold is “Thank you” from Spellbinders BetterPress Press Plate Sealed Cord & Faux Seal Sentiments. The borders on the front and inside are made using Pinkfresh Studio Decorative Frames press plate & dies.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. With “thank You” printed on the back flap. Sentiment is from Spellbinders BetterPress Press Plate Sealed Cord & Faux Seal Sentiments. (See video above for BetterPress alignment of press plate and envelope.)
