This is one of the cards I made at this past weekend’s Crop. I was so into how well it was going together that I completely missed that when I adhered it to the card base, it was on the wrong way–as in instead of opening it from the right, it was from the left!! Yikes! And if that isn’t funny enough, another gal at the Crop did the very same thing shortly after it happened to me. It’s good to be reminded that we are all human, right?
I’m so in love with this card design. It works perfectly with CTMH’s Zip Strips (the 1/2″ patterned strips on the top edge of all of our patterned paper.) And if you aren’t using CTMH papers with available Zip Strips, this card is perfect for using up your scraps of paper. And who doesn’t like that?!?
So how did I fix my mistake and save my card, you ask? I simply trimmed around the Happy Times B&T piece and then adhered it to another card base. So now there is a lot of dimension to the card–unintended, but it works! There’s even dimension with the sentiment as I used 3-D Foam Tape to adhere it so that it really pops.
Here are the supplies I used to create it:
- Happy Times Stamp Set (CC1064)
- Fern Stamp Pad (Z2650)
- Happy Times Paper Pack (CC1063)
- Glacier Extra Thick Twine (Z3039)
- 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151)
- Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors (Z1836)
- Value Pack Cards & Envelopes (X254)
It’s a really simple design and one that is very appealing. In fact, one of the other ladies used the design to create her own version using a different paper pack and stamp set. And it turned out amazing!!
