I decided to use the Silver & Gold 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper on page 10 of the SAB Brochure. I had a "happy accident" where I, with the intent to purchase our regular medium sized envelopes, purchased 6 packages of the 3x3 envelopes instead! I thought I would cut the 6x6 paper into 3x3 pieces and use them to make mini cards!
Once I cut the 4 different designs down to 3x3, I used Blending Brushes to colour them with our new "In Color" inks! I chose Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party inks. The cool thing is that the ink does not stick to the foil patterns, just to the white part of the paper! I used a paper towel to wipe off any excess ink sitting on top of the foil.
I also cut 3 1/4" by 1 1/2" pieces so that I could decorate the flap of the envelopes, too!
My card bases were 6" x 3" Basic White, scored at 3". The inked pieces fit perfectly on the card fronts. I used the fabulous Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out frames from our Gold Foil and Silver Foil, and to cut circles from Basic White and Vellum cardstock. The sentiment is from our Ringed With Nature stamp set and stamped in Starry Sky on all four cards. I glued the square frames to the card front and glued the circles together. I then used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the circles to the card. These are fun and easy to make!
