On my quest to make some clean and simple cards, I made one that I know is pretty clean and simple. But there is one problem with it. It is a square card. Now the post office charges 20 cents extra for a square card so this one will cost too much postage to do a bunch BUT it was fun to make AND I used some really cool cardstock from Discount Cardstock!
So this card measures 5 1/4 x 5 1/4" square. It's actually one of my favorite card sizes because of the amount of space there is to design on. But when it comes to mailing it - I get alittle grumpy about the extra 20 cents! LOL.... I used some really cool cardstock I just received from Discount Cardstock.com. It's called Racy Raspberry DoubleMate. One side of the cardstock is the dark raspberry color and the other side is the lighter color. So I stamped the sentiment from JustRite® Stampers Christmas Nested Sentiments onto some vanilla cardstock. I cut/embossed the sentiment using Labels 4 Nestabilities #4 (with #1 being the smallest). I cut/embossed some more Labels 4 Nestabilities™ using each side of the one sheet of cardstock to get my matching colors. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey. I added some lace and a pearl brad to complete my card. Pretty easy and kinda fun to make! I think I love the DoubleMate cardstocks at Discount Cardstock.com.
Gorgeous card I love the lace and the how you layered the nesties. I love the colours you chose as well.
