Making a Just Because Card

Have you ever wanted to make someone a card for no special reason? We like to call them Just Because cards.

And we’re dedicating this one to those of you who shopped with us yesterday. Thank you so much!

We made the background on Monday’s show. Everyone helped Ann pick colors and such.

Then in yesterday’s video, Ann showed different layouts with the cards.

Here’s one of them that she came up with.

I think Ann surprised everyone a bit when she took the Watercolor Paper and ran it through the Cut & Emboss machine with the Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder.

It looks way better in real life. For some reason, the camera wanted to make the Granny Apple Green look like it was a neon green. I hope she got it right.

I don’t know why it took her so long to use that Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder. In real life, it’s awesome! Let’s see if you can tell in this close up.

You can tell more in the Seaside Spray, but in real life it really adds an unexpected touch to the card. More texture is usually a good thing. And it worked here.

You can watch the two different styles of butterfly cards that they worked on here on YouTube.

We’re up a little late here so how about if I cut to the card making supplies?
