I seem to be on a monochromatic kick lately. I love these colors together: Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, and Tropical Teal. I pulled out an old favorite, Star Prints, for this week's Make It Monday to make a card for my nephew. I knew I was sending him a gift card for his birthday and thought Ashley's tri-fold design would be the perfect way to present it to him. I started out by following Ashley's measurements. I cut an 81/2 x 11 piece of cardstock in half lengthwise. I scored that piece at 3" and at 8". I cut the left panel with WP9's curved border die from Landscape Borders. I did the same to a piece of black cardstock that was a bit longer than the panel.
I stamped a few star images from Star Prints and Out Of this World on the front panel and also on the inside. I added the fun sentiments from Star Prints and coordinating sentiments from Movers and Shakers Sentiments. Using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies I lined the right panel and created a gift card pocket for the inside. The card is held shut with a little white dot of Velcro.
I stamped the same star images to create patterned paper to line the envelope. I hope he likes it!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
