Happy Thursday AI Friends!
My card today was inspired by the current blog challenge called "It's in the Mail". I took this challenge literally and combed through all of my stamp sets to locate the perfect mailbox to go with this lady from the #5114 - Never Too Old Laugh Lines. I found the mailbox in the #5930 - Santa's Workshop stamp set.
I needed to make a birthday card for my sister and I just think this lady is hilarious. My sister didn't find her nearly as funny until I told her the lady was representing me mailing her card not her receiving it. 😂
Maybe I should add a wink wink here too. LOL!
Anyway, back to the card. I stamped the images onto copic friendly paper with Memento black ink and colored with my copic markers listed below. I then cut each out with the corresponding dies.
I decided to make it a fun fold easel card by cutting a 4 1/4" x 9 3/4" piece of cardstock. I scored it along the long side at 1 1/4, flipped the cardstock over and scored it at 5 1/2" keeping the other score line to your left. Fold and burnish the score lines in opposite directions.
I cut orange cardstock pieces to fit each of the scored sections and also adhered a piece of pattern paper to fit nicely on each of the orange mats.
Die cut two ovals with the #5065 - Oval Double Stitch dies. One in pattern paper and the other in textured white. For the base oval, I used the #5727 - Nested Oval dies. Glue those three ovals together and adhere the top edge only to the 1 1/4" folded edge. When opened, the oval piece will stand up on the bottom layer. I added the colored images to this panel using foam dots for dimension.
To finish, I stamped the sentiment from the #5735 - Birthday Sentiments and partial die cut using the #5062 Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitch die. I added an oval piece of white cardstock to the inside of the card (behind the image panel) for my birthday message and a few purple embellishments to the corners.
Well, that's my card for today. Thanks for joining me!
Hope you have a wonderful day and keep creating!
