Good morning to you. I been busy being inspired by the spring issue of Cardmaker magazine! This card was inspired by one that showcased a little rick-rack trim!
I like the idea of creating interest on the edge of the card and also pulled out a tool that’s been hiding away in the drawer – the Finishing Touches Edgelits dies! And matching the edge of the designer paper with the same rick-rack edge balances it nicely!
The card base is the standard 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ but I scored it at the 4″ mark in order to leave enough on the edge after it was cut with the edgelit.
It was also a great time to show a couple of the great patterns in the Sweet Sorbit designer paper package! Which is also a FREE choice from the Sale-a-bration brochure. You’ll be able to pick this one starting next Tuesday, January 28th – Yay!
