I created these four cards as a gift set for a friend who has loaned me her precious books to read. They are the Angelic Letter Series by Henry Ripplinger. It has taken months to read them but the story is excellent and lots of good teaching in between. The last in the series just came out this summer so I will have to see where I can find it!!
I started with small turquoise envelopes which were gifted to me. I created white cards to fit inside. I added a layer of this decorative paper (gift wrap) to them.
Then I went looking for a greeting I could use. I found this one which is from a Stampin UP set. I stamped it a few different colours that coordinated with the paper and then punched them out with a 1.25" circle punch (SU). I created layers for them using a 1 3/8" punch (SU) in coordinating colours. I added a little folded ribbon flag to each one before using 3D foam tape to adhere them to the fronts of my cards!! These are real cute and with that greeting can be used for a variety of occasions!!! I have really appreciated her generosity knowing that these books are precious to her!! Therese
