Hi, this is Charlotte C.
Thank you, Sheila, for inviting me to share in your awesome blog again this month. I used an image from the Silhouette store to
create some thank you cards as part of my gift at the new mom-to-be’s baby
shower I was invited to. The original
had some eyelet holes and “thank you” cut out, so first thing I did was delete
them so I could stamp on the front, and it made for quicker cutting of the
little dress. I sized my cards at 4.25 wide, locked the aspect
ratio.
Because I used double sided card stock I needed to line the
inside in order for there to be a place to write. That was easy to do by using the internal
offset feature on my Cameo and then deleting all the internal cuts so I had
just an outline. Once the Cameo cut
everything, I just used my trimmer to slice everything in half. I was able to get six halves on one sheet of
12 x 12 card stock by hanging part of the image off the mat.
I used my MISTI so that all the stamping was uniform on each
card. An empty A2 size envelope box
covered with designer paper worked beautifully to hold a dozen thank you cards
with envelopes. Here’s the finished
products.
I also used my Cameo to cut this cute little dresser card
which went with my gifts. A handmade
envelope with a tab to insert the flap made it easier to be opened at the
shower.
Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you enjoyed seeing these cards. Happy fall to all.
This card is adorable and I like that you made a matching envelope to go with it. Thank you for sharing.
