Mini 3x3 Cards with envelopes and box holder


sophmama_cardbox, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.

I made these quick 3"x3" cards with envelopes and holders from this great little design I saw on Mel Stampz blog. I won't repeat the instructions, because they are fully described on Mel Stampz blog, as well as a pocket book variation.

I did not cut out the envelopes or the box with scissors. I used the templates found on Mel Stampz's blog and converted them to Klic'n'Kut templates. Download links at the bottom of this post. Note: The red lines are folds, so use the cut by color setting. Emboss the red, cut the black.

I then used the Sophisticated Momma kit from RA Studios at Divine Digital for the letters, box and Thanks mat. A hint about cutting the letters: It helps if you stroke the letters with a 15px black line in your image software.

The stamps I used were from Hero arts and Club Stamp. Have fun!

Little Boy Thank You Cards




I am now on 2 wonderful design teams, Selena Neal ( DigiSkrapnMomma) and RA Design studios (Royanna Fritschmann). The cards shown above are some quick hybrid cards I whippped up from the Royanna's "I'm sooo rusted" kit. I thought the kit was perfect to make some quick Thank You cards for a little boy I know.

My husband actually helped me enhance the idea by reminding me how much he liked comic books when he was a kid. The last card in Purple is hard to see, so I put the digital mock up above and have a freebie piece from the card for you to grab below. Clicking on the mock-up above will reveal hints on how to recreate the card. I followed a wonderful tutorial in Photoshop User magazine for a Lichtenstein type effect to create the Pop Art freebie. I'm planning on using this tutorial for a variety of other effects. Well that is all for now.
