Stationary

A perfect gift for anyone who writes letters!

Cut photocopy weight paper 61/4” x 11”. Make first fold by measuring 31/2” from the top (either one of the short ends). Mark with a pencil and fold with a bone folder. Erase pencil mark. Make the second fold by folding the bottom into the first fold.

At the bottom of the front, measure up ¼” and mark lightly with a pencil. Cut on this line with fancy scissors or use a border punch. Erase pencil lines.

Fold card into thirds. Swipe the front with a Little Bag to reduce static. With the narrow end of an Embossing Marker, draw a line one inch from the bottom fold. Gold emboss.

Mark the center of the front lightly with a pencil. Gold emboss Just A Note #07269.H page 159 to the center. Erase pencil mark.

ENVELOPE:
Swipe the front of an envelope with a Little Bag to reduce static. Draw lines ½” from the top and bottom edges with the narrow end of an Embossing Marker. Wipe ruler clean after each use. Gold emboss. Repeat to both sides.

The top image is the finished product; the middle image is laying open and the bottom image is the envelope. I layed them on a pink background so they would show up in the scans.

Concealing Your Cheque

Cut photocopy or printer weight paper 41/4” x 61/4” – you can get three covers from an 81/2” x 11” paper.

With a pencil and ruler, lightly mark at 11/2” from the bottom (the long edge). Fold towards the back on these lines – a bone helps give a crisp fold. This image shows the cover in an open position – you can see where I’ve folded it.

Stamp top left and bottom right corners with the corner stamp #14295.I page 227 using black Memories ink.

Stamp Thank You #07304.H page 215 in the center using black Memories ink.

ENVELOPE:
Using a standard envelope, draw a border around the envelope at ½” from all edges using the wide end of a black Zig marker or use a marker to match your photocopy paper.

This cover is an excellent way of sending a cheque in the mail.

It's Buggy!

Totally CASE'd this card from a card I received in an exchange from Toni Whitnell back in 2005. She has used Stampin Up! stamps. I really, really like the layout - see her card below.

I used the same layout but used Magenta stamps. A very quick card to make.

Tea Time

I used the oval and circle coluzzle to make the tea cup and doilie. The handle is a swirl punch by Carl. The large and small daisies are also punches by Carl. The flowers on the tea cup is a puch by EK Success. I used 1/8" and 1/4" circle punches for the flower centers. The doilie is edged in gold cardstock and trimmed using deckle scissors.

Glenyce's Freestyle Collage

Just thought I would share a card that my daughter, Glenyce made for her youngest sister (according to what is written inside the card). I assume it was made back in 2002 too. It was in the folder with the Freestyle Collage class that I posted on August 21st, 2009. I wonder if her sister ever got the card or if I fell in love with it and ripped it right out of Glenyce's hand?? Oh well ... I will continue to look after it for them! This card is 51/2" square. Beautiful eh? By the way .... Happy Birthday to you today, Glenyce! I still miss that you are no longer a cardmaker but really happy that I inherited all your 'stuff'!
