My card today is for one of the sweetest people I know. She does so much for everyone and I am honored to call her a friend. As a special Thank You, I made this card and hope you are as happy with it as I am.
STAMPS
This sentiment is so perfect for the intended recipient. It is a bit different than normal, but fits the bill perfectly. The fun font is awesome as well. I love a different font. This one is from the Penciled Pear stamp set. That set is a hidden gem in the Annual Catalog. The inside sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. There is also a matching flower from the Painted Lavender stamp set inside. Here is a view of the open card. It is a Double Z fold.
PAPERS
The card base ,or bases, since there are two Z folds are Pretty Peacock cardstock. And all of the DSP is from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. I normally do not put DSP on the inside of the Z base. However I saw one recently that had done so, and it really added to the card. So I saw this tone on tone floral in the paper pack and said Why Not! Additionally the surround for the front sentiment is also included in the DSP pack. I believe it is the opposite side of this main floral pattern.
EXTRAS
There is only one extra for this card. And that is very surprising even to me! It is the Die used for the sentiment on the front of the card. This Die is from the Unbounded Love Die set. It is one Die, but it cuts the outside and inside both. So it was simple to cut the DSP and then the White with the sentiment separately. Then I simply put them back together again. Plus I now have a White outside and plaid inside leftover for another card. Two for the price of one!
MEASUREMENTS
The Pretty Peacock card base is 11 X 4 1/4 and scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. The inner card is also Pretty Peacock and is 10 1/2 X 3 1/4, and is scored at 4 1/2 and 7 1/2. There are different DSP on each of the layers. For the card base the DSP measures 2 pieces @ 2 1/2 X 4, these are the front and center. And the inside back is 5 1/4 X 4. For the smaller card, the DSP is 4 1/4 X 3 for the front. The middle section is 2 3/4 X 3. The back White layer that is stamped on is 2 3/4 X 3 also.
