March comes in like a lion right? Or does it come in like a lamb? I never get that saying right. All I know is that the "Shamrocks" come flying in March. Bag pipes are piping and Corn Beef is cooking! I LOVE MARCH!!! So I'm starting off with a super simple slimline card.
Mine are the shorter ones. Well at least this one is. The finished card is 3.5 x 6.5 and fits in a regular number 8 6 3/4 envelope. I get my envelopes at the Dollar tree so I do not invest alot of money on these. The envelopes can be spruced up by either stamping a little on them or adding washi tape or even sponging around the edges so they don't look so plain.
This specific cards first layer is 3.25 x 6.25 black card stock then I cut a piece of double sided Authentique designer paper 3x6 and cut it diagonally both ways to form an X. The 2 side pieces I flipped over then just matched up the center points and glued everything down. I matted one of the cut aparts from the same paper pad and glued it to the center.
HAPPY CARDING!
oh what fun - adding nice touches to your envelopes is a super idea. Your St Patty's card is very pretty, too!
