MOTIVATION MONDAY Carolina Craftin'

I have another template to spark your creativity this week.  Best of all you can use up some of your scraps of paper with this card!  For my card I used scraps I had left from the Lovely Blossoms 12 x 12 Designer Series paper and the Banner Sayings stamp set with the Three Banner punch.

Template Measurements:
  • Basic White Cardstock – 8 ½ ” x 5 ½ “, score at 4 1/4″ (A2 card base); 3″ x ½ ” (sentiment)
  • Basic Black Cardstock – 5 ¼ ” x 4 “
  • Smoky Slate Cardstock – 3 ” x ¾ ” (5 pieces)
Tip: A different size or shape can be substituted for your sentiment.

A HANDMADE GOODBYE Carolina Craftin'

This card was made for a sweet coworker who is moving away.  This is a larger A9 card which uses a full sheet of cardstock folded in half so it would be big enough for everyone in my office to sign.  It features the Lovely Arrangement Photopolymer Stamp Set and dies.  The sentiment is from a retired stamp set.
