Last week I saw a circular card, an invitation, on Pinterest. I also revisited some card ideas I had saved there and found one about adding a ring to the tree. I realized I had dies to combine these ideas!
I had already stamped the “HAND MADE” on the back for the circle when I realized I should’ve saved that for covering the back of the brad. So I added the “FOR YOU.”
Since this is for an older person who is not into paper crafting, I felt like I should include some kind of instruction. I wanted it to look nice, but not overtake the design, so I used vellum as the base. My “instructions” set of stamps doesn’t include a “rotate” so I used “slide” and a curved arrow. But I also cut a slit, so it can be easily removed from the card. This will go by mail, so it may stay attached.
So much fun! I love cards that “do something” (pop up, open in non-traditional ways, etc.) Using that mat board, it must feel like a real slice of wood, too. Awesome! Pretty handy set of stamps, as well.
What a fun and creative card! I think the ‘slide’ direction will come in quite helpful (that way they aren’t wondering why you sent some fancy homemade coaster ). I like the tiny screws you used to attach the sentiment to the front. Little details like that create a much more finished look and you are so good about including them in your various papercrafting projects.
Such a cool card!!
Your instruction stamps remind of some made by Lawn Fawn called Push Here. Now that I’ve looked at their site to find that set, I see they have some super cute valentine stamps! Oh, you.
