Today, I will show you the cards I made to go in the Altered Tin that was featured in this post.
I made three each of two thank you cards and put them in the tin, included postage and a pen for the recipient. This makes a great gift as well a keepsake tin once the cards have been sent.
Start with a 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of cardstock, scor at 4 inches, use a corner rounder on the two corners then fold. Next cut a 4 x 4 1/4 piece of green cardstock, round two corners and adhered to the card front. Using a 4x4 Ivory RTC Grid paper trim 1/4 off the top and bottom only, round two corners and adhered it to the green cardstock. Choose coordinating pattern papers, cut one piece 1 x 3 1/4 ink edges with blue ink and adhere to the bottom row on the RTC Grid. Then with a 1" paper punch, punch six squares from various papers, ink edges and adhere to remaining squares. Stamp with alphabet stamps and word stamp, embellish with rhinestones and ribbon.
This one will have you thinking out side of the box for sure. The card base and cardstock are the same as the card above. The RTC is trimmed 1/4 on the sides and top only. The fun part is with the stamps. You will see in the first square I used the flower stamp from the Clearly Spring Clear Stamp set.
Ink the back of the stamp instead of the front. By doing so you will create a shadow image.
Use a light green ink for the background then reverse the stamp and inked the flower image in black, position stamp over the shadow image and stamp.
I hope you have enjoyed this months project. Post a comment and let me know what you like the most.
Enjoy!
