4" x 4" cards are underused in my opinion. They are perfect for on top of a gift...large enough to write a nice note in but small enough to still be perfect on the top of most gifts. Also, it's a great size to slip a gift card in. If that weren't enough, you can get FOUR of them out of one sheet of 12" x 12" cardstock. I used the March Stamp of the Month (Choose Happy) to create these cards, paired with another beautiful stamp set (Flowers for Mom).
Not sure what to purchase for your $50? Why not some of the products I used to make these cards? A product list, complete with photos and links is at the bottom of this post.
Here are a few little tips that go with the cards:
- Why not use a sentement stamp to create your own background?
- You'll notice that in my sentiment stamped background I didn't line the words up exactly over the one below it. I staggered them. This creates a much more visually pleasing look.
- Try using CTMH embossing folders in your Cuddlebug or Big Shot. The are fabulous! The center strip was dry embossed with the quatrefoil folder.
- Use 3D foam tape to create depth and variety on your creations.
- Play with Shin Han alcohol markers. You'll love them. Here's a quick little tutorial for these flowers:
