I love the note card size of cards…Stampin' Up! only carrys them in the white and the size of 3/12" X 5" truly makes a perfect size for a quick note! ( they do carry the envelopes in Crumb Cake)
Now with the help of the Envelope Punch Board…you can make them in any color and todays card I used the Very Vanilla to make my own note card! From 1 sheet of paper, you can make 2 note cards…simply cut a 5 x7 piece and score it at 3 1/2" and presto!
To make this card was fast and fun!
- The note card base is a 3 1/2 X 5 in very vanilla and then I cut another piece of very vanilla at 3 1/4 X 4 3/4
- The mat behind is smidge larger ( 2 notches) on the stampin' trimmer in Chocolate Chip
- Using the stamp-a-ma-jig I stamped the Leaf from the Magnificent Maple in 2 colors….1st – Crushed Curry and after cleaning the stamp, I inkd it up with Soft Suede and stamped it on a piece of scratch paper and then onto the crushed curry leaf….I just wanted to soften the curry color. ( I know that it is hard to see in the picture but it does make a sublte difference!)

- The sentiment is from the Truly Grateful Stamp Set, and it was stamped in Chocolate Chip – such a simple yet super font!

- Tip Alert: LOVE this ribbon but it is very wide! I wanted the texture of the Burlap Ribbon and how I made it thinner was a simple cut BUT….use GREAT scissors or it will fray!!! I know it took me over a year to break down and purchase the Craft Scissors…I ONLY use them for cutting ribbon and I highly recommend them – because these scissors are so sharp I was able to cut at the edges so there is no bulk!
- The button is from the Regals Button and the linen thread was the perfect sweet finishing touch!
- ENVELOPE TIME!!! From yesterday's post…you learned all about the super new Envelope Punch Board and it is super fun! I knew that I wanted to use the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper for this card…just seemed to go hand in hand!

- Using the Envelope Punch Board and following the measurements for a 3 1/2 x 5 card…it was a breeze! One thing that I do find that I am liking to do is to snip off the pointy piece that is left over…see pictures below and feel free to email me if you have any questions! A simple ruler and your trimmer will do the trick!

- Please do not forget from yesterday post about your chance to win some free paper by placing an order with me that includes the Envelope Punch Board from me…totaling to the $40.00!
I hope that you have enjoyed today's post and I hope that you CASE this card…very, very sweet! Have a great holiday today and I look forward to inspiring you this week!
Until tomorrow…..








Love the new envelope maker, but finding that for this size card to fit, i have
to trim the width of the card about a quarter of an inch. Is this happening to you?
Can’t wait to get the envelope maker. I too would HAVE to cut off that little point. Happy Labor Day. Hope you have a relaxing day. Raining here, blah!, but a good reason to stay in doors and make some cards. 🙂
Beautiful card and the envelope is so pretty. The envelope maker is a sure fire winner.
I am totally in love with this card! Stamping off with the soft suede on top of the leaf made for an amazing effect! It defined the veins so well and looks even more realistic! The burlap and button are just perfect! Love the envelope too. Quick question or two rather: If you mail the card with the button – how do you pad it? Also, did you need to allow a smidge for the bulk of the button when making the envelope? I love that word smidge! My mom used to use it a lot from cooking to sewing!
Ohhhh….I love how you trimmed off the point. Very professional looking. Great use of the inks and stampamajiggy. Love the leaf and the color effect. My Mom always said a “titch” instead of a smidge. Just a titch; I can hear her say that to me even now!!! Love your card. Just awesome and thank you so much for sharing with us.
