Thank you

Hello my dear friends. Wow.. the weekend is almost here. Iam happy to show you my first card made with my DT package from Cute Stamps and Cards. The store carries EVERYTHING you will need for cardmaking and even more exciting.. check out the embellishment section. I have recieved flowers and pearl ribbon sliders i have not found on ebay or anywhere else here in the US.

The card was made using the sketch over on Friday Sketchers blog for this week. You might think is a bit tricky due to the akward panels and will take a long time to make, i would like to share with you what i have done to speed things up and create 2 same cut pieces that are actually layered.

Over your card base (floral paper) arrange your 2 rectangular shapes, so they are in place as you like them to sit. Than use a ruler and trace with a pencil (iam talking now just about the bottom part where you will have to cut your rectangles in a shape) around the card base as guide. Than add both pieces (in my case the greens) over each other and trim a long the lines with your paper cutter. The Desinger paper was cut slightly smaller and i cut them in the same fashion. Remember to that you layer the patterned paper facing each other, before you cut both at the same time. So when you are finished cutting you will have a left and a right side. Hope this makes sense. First my panel was 2 1/4 i thought it was too narrow, now the panels are 2.5" (green paper) on my card.
