Legacy Lives On

I found these pre-made cards in the clearance bin at Micheal's months ago and decided to buy some in several colors. I probably bought too many but if they turn out like this-well worth it.

I love the little hinge on the right side and even tho these are the dreaded square cards, I am happy with one for once. I just don't like to make this sort of card. I prefer baby cards or wedding ones or happy anything.

The pre-made card is offset on the side so it's is about an inch short on the top fold. The flap that buckles over is attached and slides in the double slot. I covered the inside of the card with a cream square and then layered a strip that matched the layer of the front down the side. I printed the sentiment on the same cream paper using a laser printer and distress inked the sides of all the pieces in dark brown, even the flap to give it more depth. I then placed the layers and pop dotted the Prima flower with brad-I don't like the brads showing thru on the inside so I did cut the prongs shorter to not show. I then tucked a small Prima leaf under the flower.


Here you can see how the tucked flap looks open and there is plenty of room to write your thoughts inside too. Because the actual base is pre-made-this is a very quick card to make and easy to alter depending on the gender or situation. I will make some happy cards now.
