For inspiration, especially when I seem to make the same card over and over, I look to the sketch challenges other stampers post. That was the case with this card from the recent Stamp Review Crew blog hop featuring items from the January-February 2024 Sale-A-Bration brochure.
Want to make a card like this? Cut four pieces of patterned paper 1ΒΌ” x 4″ eacg. One of those pieces will be the horizontal piece at the top of the card. Cut 1/8″ off the end of each of the three remaining pieces, which will be the verticals. Then it’s just a matter of flat adhering the pieces with equal margins (1/8″, to be specific) around each piece. Turn this layout on its side and see how that changes things!
This little ribbon treatment is a favorite of mine. Tie a bow from a length of twine or trim (something not too bulky); set aside. Knot a piece of supple ribbon around a card front or panel but do not tighten the knot. Slip the bow under the knot (I use a crochet hook to catch it) and then tighten the knot.
