I have seen several cards made using this layout.  A card by Patsy W., a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, was my inspiration for today.

Three of the four cards in this set only had the Modern Label punch attached to the card.  I created seven more sentiments and punched them out with the Word Window punch and placed Dimensionals on the back.  This allows the recipient to choose their own sentiment and attach it to the card.

I made a coordinating box to complement this greeting card set.

A tutorial for this card box is available for a minimal charge of $2.99. I created the tutorial with step by step pictorial instructions. The tutorial is an Adobe file.

*Dry embossing does "shrink" the paper because of the pull into the embossing folder.  That is why I dry emboss first then trim.

**When attaching embossed cardstock, it is best to use liquid glue.

Helpful Hint - How to tie a bow around a card without tearing up the cardstock.

I created templates out of sturdy cardstock for the common sizes used in cardmaking. I cut the templates about 1/16" less than the size of a card I wish to wrap around with ribbon. I also noted on the template how much ribbon is needed. Simply tie the "perfect" bow; which in my case make take four tries, and slip it off the template. You may have to gently bend the card to get the ribbon on. I secure in place with Glue Dots strategically placed near the knot and on the inside of the card.
