A Different Style of Card

Now that my back is a little better, I've got back into my crafting.  Although I can't sit for long, I do it in short bursts when I can.

I made this folded style card as I had an idea in my head.  I crimped some glossy paper and put it on the small folded edge, added my promarkered (is there such a word?!?!?) image after cutting it out and added some adhesive ribbon (bargain 50p in Hobbycraft ages ago!!).

For the top, I just put on some of the gorgeous pink backing paper (what is it with pink and me lately? I think Delilah has had an effect on my taste - I never used to be a pink lady before!).

Another sentiment made using the crimper and added a gorgeous pink brad (in a goody box from Di) and voila, all done!

I also added an insert so whoever buys it from the Cancer Charity can write their message on it for the recipient.  A different card, but it still fits in a standard C6 envelope which is good.

Talking of envelopes - where do you get yours? I normally made smaller cards, but have had some requests for bigger cards and I don't have envelopes for them to hand!  Oops!

Enjoy!

Pink - yay!!!!! So cute too. Envelopes - you can buy them from Craft Creations, I think I've told you about the company before for reasonably priced card stock. They have every size of envelope going - their website can be a bit overwhelming but with a ruler to hand you'd be fine and can buy just the quantity you want.

Why don't you make your own envelopes? Too easy...
