Thank You Card…

Today, I made a card for the Paper Crafts Magazine’s Face­book give­away. I am no card maker, but I do try!!

The pho­to­graph is not the best… Its a gloomy rainy day out here

Todays chal­lenge was to make a thank you card using yel­low or orange color. I made a Hybrid card today– it starts as a dig­i­tal card, and then I print it out and jazz it up a lit­tle bit.

Let  me walk you through the steps.

First I made a dig­i­tal card using Adobe Pho­to­shop Cs5. I made it to mea­sure 5.5 by 5.5 inches.

All papers and embell­ish­ments used here are by Jes­sica Sprague. Aren’t these papers adorable?

I then cre­ated the title. I have used Futura fonts here.

I then printed these onto a 8.5 by 11 inch white card­stock. I placed the card at the top of the page, so that I would have enough room on the card­stock to cre­ate the 5.5 by 5.5 inch card. Placed the title on the side, in the wasted space. Make sure your file is at 300 dpi before you print!! Oth­er­wise you will end up with a tiny sized card and not the true size.

After print­ing, I cut out the card area, and folded it to cre­ate the card. I then cut around the title leav­ing an 1/8inch white border.

I then used some paper edgers and some paper scraps ( from my new paper pad– My mind’s eye ) and adhered them onto the card. Finally added the title.
