Keep A Small Card Handy

February 24, 2019 Leave a Comment

Yesterday was fun, I attended a local craft fair and met some lovely people. I’m always grateful when I’m able to see and hear people’s reactions to my projects. I only decided to attend this event towards the end of last week so it’s all been a bit of a rush. So while I catch up on a few postponed tasks at home, here’s a Simple Sunday design for a small card.

Simple small card and envelope with horse image from the Let It Ride Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

SMALL CARD AND ENVELOPE

Instead of creating my own card base I decided to use one of the pre-made ones from Stampin’ Up!. I went with a Whisper White small card and envelope from their Memories & More range. At 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″, these cards are designed to perfectly fit the smaller cards from their Memories & More printed card packs. But of course they’re perfect to keep handy for other things too.

I started by folding the small card along the pre-scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

Next I used some Stampin’ Sponge to add a little Old Olive ink along the bottom of the small card on the front, and on the inside. Then I did the same to the front of the matching envelope.

Next using Soft Suede ink I stamped the grazing horses image from the Let It Ride Stamp Set on the front and inside of the card.

On the front of the envelope I stamped the whole image over towards the right, and then just the front horse on the left.

Finally I wrapped some Linen Thread around the card front and tied it in a simple bow.

And that was it. Job done.

READY TO USE CARDS AND ENVELOPES

I really like these Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. As well as these small cards, there are large cards and envelopes that are 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″.

In the 2019 Occasions Catalogue you’ll also find the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. Available in the large and small card sizes, these are Night of Navy on the outside and Whisper White on the inside.

If you’re looking for something a little fancier, how about cards and envelopes with foil edging? You might not have realised that the Gold Foil-Edged Cards and Envelopes and Silver Foil-Edged Cards and Envelopes are still available. These cards when folded are 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″, so standard A2 size.

Other plain and printed notecards and envelopes can be found on page 193 of the 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue. Do check them out, they’re a great alternative when you want a card and envelope in a different size.
