Coordinating Card and Envelope
Do you decorate your envelopes to coordinate with your handmade cards?
Hey there! Today I’m sharing a coordinated card and envelope project I created for CutCardStock.
I have to admit I don't usually decorate my envelopes. But, it does add something special to a plain envelope. And, there are many different ways to dress up your envelopes. Mine here was done with stamping, but you can also stencil or dry emboss.
Stamping
I started by stamping with 2 stamps that work well together. The violin and sentiment are stamped on a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 Cougar White Smooth Card Stock. A Leader Opaque 5 1/2 Bar Envelope was stamped with the rose/music staff stamp. I used a Black Noir Finesse Ink Pad from Crafter’s Companion.
Coloring
Both images were colored with Castle Arts Pencils.
Envelope Liner
I decided to add an envelope liner using a piece of pretty patterned paper from my scraps.
The liner piece was trimmed to 5 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. This will leave the gummed area of the envelope flap uncovered.
Slip the liner into the envelope and fold down the flap to create a crease on the liner paper. I marked the center of the top of the liner and trimmed from that point down to the crease on the outside edges.
Place the liner in the envelope and adhere the top to the flap.
Card
Using Basis RED 80lb Card Stock, I cut a 4 1/2 x 11 inch piece and scored at 5 1/2 inches to create a top folding A2 card base. The violin piece was centered and adhered to the base.
I decided to stamp the outside of the envelope flap with another stamp.
The card fits nicely inside the envelope.
I'm loving the way this turned out and think I will have to start adding something a little extra to my plain envelopes more often.

Hello there! Today I'm posting for Stampers Delights.
The card I'm sharing was created with one of the "Italian Brothers" digital stamp sets which are exclusive to members of the Digital Stamp and Coloring Club and the Digital Art VIP Club.
I colored 2 of the digis with pencils and fussy cut. The third digi used, the bricks, were printed on orange card stock. The grout was colored in with a marker.
Clouds were die cut and adhered to the blue inked background and a sentiment was stamped. I added a die cut border near the bottom of the card.

Art Deco Card
Card Base
Starting with a 5 1/2 x 11 inch piece of Black DCS Discount Card Stock I made an easel style card base.
Score at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2 inches along the 11 inch side and fold on each score line as seen below.
Creating the Fan
To create the “fan” I cut 5 pieces of Black DCS Discount Card Stock. The center piece measures 2 x 5 1/2 inches. Cut 4 pieces to 1 x 5 1/2 inches. I die cut the top edge of each piece.
Using DCS Gold GLITTER Heavyweight Discount Card Stock, cut 1 piece to 1 7/8 x 5 3/8 inches. Cut 4 pieces 7/8 x 5 3/8 inches. With Stardream Metallic SILVER 105 lb Card Stock, cut 1 piece 1 3/4 x 5 1/8 inches and 4 pieces 3/4 x 5 1/8 inches.
Next I ran the silver pieces through an embossing folder and added gold gilding wax to the raised areas with a dried baby wipe.
Card Assembly
I cut 2 pieces of the gold glitter card to 1 3/4 x 2 5/8 inches and 2 pieces of the metallic silver to 1 5/8 x 2 1/2 inches. Layer these and adhere to the outside and lower edge of the card front, leaving a narrow edge of the black showing. The fan piece is adhered to the center of the card front.
I layered a piece of gold glitter card measuring 5 3/8 x 5 3/8 inches with a piece ofCougar White Smooth Card Stock cut to 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches. Add these to the inside leaving a narrow black border.
A stop is needed on the inside of the card base to form the easel. I cut pieces of the black, gold and silver card stocks. The black piece was die cut on one edge with a die coordinating with the dies used for the fan. The sentiment was die cut out of black card.
To create the focal and some embellishment, I stamped a “Roaring Twenties” themed lady and feathers on Cougar White Smooth Card Stock. These were colored with Castle Arts Pencils and glitter gel pens and fussy cut.
Finishing
The pieces for the stop were layered and adhered with foam tape to the inside of the card. I added the feathers on either side. My lady was adhered with foam tape to the fan. A few pearls were added to complete my design.
I hope I’ve provided a little inspiration with my Art Deco Card project!
