Party Time!

Another square card - this helps use all my cardstock, but I now need to find a good, reasonable priced supplier for square envelopes.  Any suggestions, just let me know.  I've heard Craft Creations are good, so am going to check them out...any others welcome!

Here's a little Party Girl, kindly stamped for me whilst I was looking for a wedding image.  I added some snazzy backing paper (which is a Christmas paper believe it or not!), and then added some PATP paper stock to make her stand out.  The die cut's were sent by the lovely Gill, and I decided to try die cutting leaving some of the image outside of the die cut.  Not sure what that is called, but it worked which is brilliant!

I added some of my bargain self adhesive ribbon and used a rub on for the "Party Time" sentiment. Also I put some teeny tiny gems around the circle die cut.  Small embellishments help now with postage costs I've found out to my purse's pain!

Enjoy!

Well done on the overlap cutting - it's easy when you know how isn't it! Cute card too.

Hi Karen... you could make your own envelopes for your square cards. It would work out cheaper too. I would like to start making cards for the aged care home where Mum is to sell for a fund raiser. Can you give me an idea of the best equipment to begin with, please? Mainly for birthday, get well and thinking of you type cards.
I am looking forward to starting. reckon it will be relaxing. Try to keep well, my dear. xo Dell.
