Happy Presidents Day. I am home playing with my kids today and hope you are doing something fun also. Today we have 2 projects to share with you. First is Mendi, she says…
“Today I thought I would give Lori’s awesome Life Card cutting files a try. I don’t actually keep a Project Life album, but I just knew these fabulous little cards would also work well for a traditional grid style layout as well. I decided it would be fun to cut them out with a white tone-on-tone approach, almost making them appear as if they were embossed. I have to say I love the results! I especially love how it adds a lot of texture and detail without overwhelming my layout visually. Swing by my blog today for more detailed shots and design dilemmas I overcame for my layout”.
I’m bad about keeping cards on hand. I usually make them and then use them, so when an event comes up I have to prepare for the event AND make a card. I’m trying to get ahead so I stop driving myself crazy. LOL! I used these two thank you card files by Lori : “Thank You Card” and “Thank You So Much Card“. They’re so easy to make! Did you see that washi tape? I’m in love with it. It’s from Lori’s newest Echo Park paper line release: All About a Boy and Sweet Girl. All the paper I’m using comes from those lines too. I used the 6×6 paper pads and shrank my cards down so I could have a few smaller ones on hand. Whew! Three thank you cards down…now to make a few birthday ones, hello ones, get well ones, Easter ones…
I love how the layout turned out by Mendi. Never thought of tone on tone like this with a cut image.
The cards are super cute by Joy.
