I’d like to share one of my new favorite blogs, Darlenes Designs. Be sure to hop on over to her site, you will definitely find some inspiration there.
This card is not bulky at all, and it’s pretty easy to make. The stamped part is just one piece of paper that Darlene cut into three parts. The black cardstock is cut into the following measurements:
– 4.25″ x 5.5″
– 3″ x 4.25″
– 1.75″ x 3″
Cut the white cardstock into parts to reduce the weight; it would be a lot of layers otherwise. Be sure to watch Darlene’s video, she makes it look so easy. Darlene really has some amazing tutorials on her site and she post a new video each Wednesday. I hope you find as much inspiration as I did from Darlene’s videos.
