Clean and Simple Card Making Class: Card Sets



It seems like it's been forever since I posted an assignment for this class.  The class is technically over, but we actually have the rest of eternity to finish our homework.  Now that's my kind of class.  My post today is for Day 10--Simple Card Sets.  I made two card sets that I will use as teacher gifts.  The first set is based on this card that I made for the Perfectly Flat lesson on Day 2.  I used Year of Flower:  Mums and various sentiments.  The envelopes were stamped on the front and then lined.












This next set follows the same formula, and uses Dot Spot in two different color schemes.  Each card set has a variety of sentiments, which include 2 birthday, two thank you, one get well and one 'just a note'.






I used the free download template from Papertrey which can be found here to print out the envelope liner onto regular computer paper.  Then, I just cut it out, flipped it over, stamped it, and adhered it to the inside of the envelope with a single line of adhesive from a glue stick, right at the top.  That is how I was taught at Paper Source.  It works great, and allows the paper to move up a bit, as the envelope is opened.


Thanks for Visiting
