Thanks for visiting my blog this week!
Here's a pair of thank you cards with the same layout.
It is one I use over and over again.
All supplies: Close To My Heart
Sonoma Paper Pack
Ink: Smokey Plum
Shapes cut with Cricut Art Philosophy
stamps: from coordinating stamp set
Since you came back I'll tell you my secret of how I get so many cards out of one paper pack.
Here's what I do.
I cut 12 x 12 sheet into 3 @ 4 inch wide strips.
Then I cut those strips into 3 @ 4 x 4 squares.
You get 9 squares in a sheet, follow me?
When you do this with a couple of sheets of double-sided, coordinating papers the mixing/matching
possibilities are amazing!
On these cards I cut the top square smaller and used the remaining strip for the border between.
You can flip to the other pattern or mix with another sheet of coordinating paper.
BTW, I still have one sheet of each pattern left to do a layout.
Close To My Heart paper packs have two sheets of each pattern it them.
I LOVE that because I don't have to choose which side to use, I can use both!
I have lots of cards to send and share now!
If only I could get that layout done...sigh!
