Colorful get well cards...

 

I had a partial sheet of this colorful DSP left and I wanted to use it up. 

This is almost an A2 size card . I started with a 4" X 11" piece of yellow patterned CS (it was what I had and I was ok with my card being 1/4" shorter than a standard A2). I scored it on the long side at 4" and 6 3/4". That left 1 1/2" of the inside (third) panel exposed on the right when the card was closed.

I added my layers to the top, along with a punched scalloped circle and a die-cut stamped circle with a navy blue mat.

The sentiment circle and mat are popped up with foam tape.

This is how the card looks when opened. The navy blue piece on the right is just over 1 1/2" wide. That left about a 2 1/2" wide area for my sentiment panel.

Then I decided to make an arrow caard with a remaining piece of the DSP. You can find instructions for how to make this card in this post. Once again I used a circle sentiment, but added a couple of simple foliage die-cuts before I added the navy blue mat. Then I popped the circle up with foam squares.

This is how the card looks when opened.

I stamped the sentiment and added a couple die-cut leaves.

With this card, you have to be mindful of how much the pointed front covers of the sentiment panel. You wouldn't want your sentiment to be too large or placed too low so that it could be seen when the card is closed.

I really do love making arrow cards. I think they have such an interesting look. They are a nice change from the standard A2. Also, they can be made in any size. You'd just have to measure where the half points are on the three sides.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
