Oh wow, check out the different sized card base at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #176! Eek! Can I do this?
OK, we'll skip right over how many times my resolve wavered and I started to do a regular landscape card. I persevered! I don't know how I'll store this giant card, but I did it! I envisioned a nice fancy wedding card, that I could use the beautiful Something Borrowed DSP for. This let me stick to just one ink color, too, so I knew I needed to really pull out the stops for my decorative border. That definitely took the most tinkering. In the end I went with this stamped border from Bordering Blooms, and hand-trimmed to give some visual interest. Whew.
PS. Yes, I made my own envelope for this one, and yes, I used the envelope punch board. It took me a while to find the measurements I needed, so I figure I'll just note them for you! Start with a 10 1/2" square, and your punch/score line is 3 3/8". You have to flip and rotate the square a bit out of order so that you can make the long score line - it runs off the board, lol. But it totally works! You also have to trim the flaps a bit too, so there's no overlap. Good luck!
