God's Beauty - Fall Gift Card Set

I enjoy making four-piece greeting cards sets along with a matching box.  My customers seem to prefer a mix of sentiments.   I stamp two each of four or five sentiments and apply a peel away tab.  This allows the recipient to choose the perfect sentiment to suit their needs.  Check out THIS posting to see more information on how I package the sentiments.

Helpful hint:  When using border punches, I like to have it centered when applying it to the card base or card layer.  I find that centering the piece of cardstock in the punch and then moving the piece of paper to the right and to the left results in a messy punch.  I always start with my paper in the left side of the punch and move it to the right.  I first created a template using the Lace Ribbon Border punch; I started out with a 7" piece of cardstock.  I lined up my template and centered it to the piece I was going to attached it to.  I was then able to see what part of the lace ribbon ended up on the right side of the cardstock.  I found the starting point on the punch and applied a label showing me where to begin punching.  Perhaps this illustration will show you what a mean.

I never liked butterflies until I got the God's Beauty stamp set from Stampin' Up! This is an exclusive stamp set only offered under Hostess Benefits*. This card was copied from an artist on Splitcoastampers.

  • Basic Black ink
  • Scallop edge punch

The butterflies were first stamped on Tangerine Tango cardstock and then handcut and placed on SU dimensional dots.

The Post-it-Note cover is cut 3 1/8" x 8 1/2" and scored lengthwise at 3", 3 3/8", 6 1/2" and 6 7/8". The SU Scallop edge punch is used along the main cover edge only. A Velcro circle is added to keep the holder closed.
