Tri-Fold Card

I originally started this card out as a tri-fold, but the folds ended up not being in even 3rds. The top flap is a bit shorter so its an envelope and card in one! You slip off the ribbon to open the flap.

I hand stamped the damask image and the polka dots with some SU! Pink Passion ink. This color stamped on the Summer Sunrise paper ended up changing the look of the pink a bit. So I actually used PTI Berry Sorbet when I stamped on white card stock because it was closer to what the Pink Passion and Summer Sunrise looked combined. Does that make sense? Regardless, I like the contrast of the colors!

Inside you can see I placed a note card to write on with a little rose to add interest. This is a great way to make up a card that will be hand delivered. It looks prettier than a regular white envelope! 

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!!

My Style

Whew! Aren't you tired of purple and black?? I didn't realize I had 2 posts in a row made with the same colors. Sheesh! Sorry about that. Will try to NEVER do that again!!  We all need some variety in our lives so on with todays post!

I would classify myself as a simple girl. I love paper and wonderful colors. I could spend hours in any paper store (ok, except for Office Max... I could spend about 30min) I have always loved pre-printed cards and letterpress. It makes my heart sing! So, when I got this stamp set in the mail I figured this was the chance to make something that looked like it was pre-preprinted, but was actually stamped by hand. Enter today's card:

This baby is ONE layer. No buttons, ribbon, tags, or other embellishments. Nothing but simplicity. This is the kind of card I could send to anyone. Whether its a embellishment loving paper crafter, or "anti-kitch" modern designer (like my husb) and anywhere in between. It's non offensive, and non specific all in a good way. This is the card I can send for any number of reasons. This is my style. Pure and Simple. I hope to fill my stamp stash with other sets with this much versatility. Thanks Basic Grey. I owe you one.

And thanks to you for stopping by!
