Hi there! Today I made a special card for a friend of mine who had a bad run in w/ her oven earlier this week. I made this card, and also made cinnamon apple scones and my daughter and I took them over this morning to visit.
The pleats that you see behind the seam binding is actually washi tape! The lace on both flaps are doilies that I distressed. The pins shown below are from a Swirlydoos kit. The paper and washi tape are from
eclectic Paperie. The stamped flower basket is from Memory of the Heart, a retired Stampin' Up! set. I embossed it w/ white powder to show up on top of the polka dot paper.
I wanted to make a different kind of card, so I decided to do a tri-fold card. I originally thought that I wanted to wrap it up, but I canned that idea, and just created a bow on the front. This way, the front flaps will keep the card from falling over.
The card and scones were well received! And we had a wonderful visit!
Now it's back to Christmas cards!
Have a great day!
