Happy May everyone. Carol from thr DT here sharing a quick and easy Thank You using an Exact A-2 invitation set from CutCardstock.com. Some of my friends ( and my husband) tease me because I like my cards and envelopes to match. They don’t always, but whenever I can make that happen I do! That’s why I like invitation sets.
Using the invitation set as my inspiration, I found a coordinating scrap of paper in my scrap stash, trimmed it slightly smaller than the A-2 card and taped it on. This was for a guy, and I’m always challenged when it comes to guy cards, so I grabbed this graphic stamp that looked kind of guy-ish ( that’s a word right?) and stamped it on cream cardstock using coordinating blue ink.
After stamping it, I trimmed it, added some washi tape , mounted it onto a green scrap and then trimmed that to size.
I ran a strip of washi tape down another scrap of the cream cardstock and cut into a chevron shape, then adhered that to the side of the card.
To tie everything together I added strips of both washi tapes to the envelope.
This really was a fast card to make. Definitely less than 10 minutes but it’s totally OK for the recipient to think it took me much longer!

Paper crafters have been “borrowing” from other art forms probably forever. Seen this post by one of our designers, Shannon, featuring a card with quilt blocks. Today I’m going to teach you about a technique that originally came from needlework, then went to quilting and has moved to paper crafting. Bargello: a type of embroidery…
Cher Bebe! It always brings a smile to my face when one of my former brides asks me to create her baby’s birth announcements. It not only allows me to keep in touch with the couple as their family expands but also allows me to create a special keepsake for their bundle of joy. I…
Remember these roses? It turns out that if you want to make a panel full of them it takes about a million of these pretties. Soooooo I made them larger. Here’s how to make them grow, and then how to create a hanging with them. The Classic Crest Cardstocks (on sale this month) are perfect…
Very nice! And I totally think guyish is a word!
