An Art Deco Birthday card

This card was made for Craft Roulette #230 whose parameters included shaped card, peacock colors, tall element and XOXO.

Watch the video below to learn how I made the card.

Cardbase: I made a side-fold A2 cardbase by folding a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2-inch rectangle in half and stenciled the front on a separate panel. The tiny gold gems where glued on as the last decoration.

Sentiments: The banner sentiments were made using the Spellbinders BetterPress letterpress system and Cheers to You press plates and dies. The inside of the card is blank for a personal message.

Envelope: Envelope flap was stenciled with the same stencil and inks.

Here are two more cards I made at the same time using the same inks and stencil sets, but different BetterPress press plate – Mistletoe Greetings. (“Merry everything” sentiment inside is from Scrapbook and Cards Today’s Jolly Holiday workshop kit.)

Day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas Ovens

It’s Day 10 of my 12 Days of Christmas Ovens.

I’m using My Favorite Things What’s Cooking kitchen dies for this A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card.

Watch video above for a tutorial on how to make the card.

Sentiments: While the My Favorite Thing’s What’s Cooking collection comes with a stamp set, none of the sentiments fit the Christmas theme. So I used a “Merry Christmas” from The Greetery and two stamp sentiments from the Scrapbook and Cards Today’s Jolly Holiday kit for the card inside and envelope flap.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 envelope.
