FUN, SQUARE, ONE LAYER CARDS

 Hi Stampers!

Today I have some more one layer cards to share with you. Instead of the standard A-2 size card, these cards are square (card base is 8 1/2” x 4 1/4” scored at 4 1/4”). The card front measures 4 1/4” x 4 1/4”. These cards will fit just fine in the Stampin’ Up!®️ medium envelopes (5 3/4” x 4 3/8”). Let’s look at the cards:

Yes, I included a Christmas card! I know summer is just beginning, but this is the time of year when I begin planning my Christmas card making strategy. For the Christmas card I used the PERFECTLY PLAID stamp set. The floral card was stamped with images from the LOVELY YOU stamp set. The two remaining cards were stamped using the ALL SQUARED AWAY stamp set. All three stamp sets can be found in the STAMPIN’ UP! 2021-2022 ANNUAL CATALOG.

ALL SQUARED AWAY CARDS

These two cards are basically the same, I just changed the colors and embellished them a bit differently. I used Basic White card bases, and stamped four images from the ALL SQUARED AWAY stamp set on the card front. I just eyeballed the placement.

SUPPLIES FOR THIS VERSION OF THE CARD:

* Inks - Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Just Jade

* Scraps of Basic White and Just Jade for sentiment and Stitched Rectangles Dies (smallest die).

* Just Jade and Gold Braided Ribbon
