Thank Goodness for RAKS and FRIENDS! I've been working on swaps for the VC Rocks group and I always over commit! Will I never learn? Thom needs me to be at work earlier and longer hours this week so I haven't had time to do anything other than my swaps. But, Francie has once again come to my rescue with a Fabulous Fourth of July card.
Isn't this a cute Fourth of July card? I don't make them myself because I generally send more Birthday, Anniversary, Thinking of You, Praying for You, etc. However, Francie makes cards for all occasions.
She recently shared with me that she is trying to make cards that cost only regular postage. When you add bling, ribbon, brads, etc., you generally don't have a flat card and the post office requires an additional .20 in postage. This design is perfect! The ribbon is laying flat enough that it only cost one stamp and the design is too darned cute.
This is the card closed or as I pulled it out of the envelope. And, here is the card opened.
Way cute! Sometimes the little touches, like rounding the corners, can make the difference in the card presentation. This is absolutely adorable! Thanks for thinking of me Francie!
I've got serious cardage to work out tonight and am almost done with my swaps. I miss stamping for fun and need to allow myself to do more of that -- after all, that is why I started stamping in the first place.
In July, I've got to get on designing the cards for the Ronald McDonald House but those are mostly for fun anyway since we keep them fairly simple. I love CAS - Clean and Simple cards and this Fourth of July card falls right into that category.
Have a fabulous day! I'll see you tomorrow with a 3D scrapbook project!
God Bless!
