Most handmade cards are made by using 1/2 sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock. This makes the card end up measuring 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". (Like the size of an invitation.)
One of my clients requested bigger cards this year. Hmmmm....that is a challenge! I'm just so used to making standard-sized cards that it is difficult for me to "think bigger."
What I decided to do was to use a smaller card and just add some additional background elements to make the card bigger.
I used an entire sheet of cardstock for the card, so the final card measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". Yes, it is a lot of paper, but I like the results!
For the bling, I used glittery cardstock, which meant no messing around with glue and glitter.
A nice little touch of bling at the top of the card to pull it all together and balance the colors:
Coming up on Tuesday: supply list. There are tons of supplies for this card, but don't let that scare you! Promise?
(p.s. I found the original design for the small card...the color combo/stamp set... online. If it's yours, please send an email to info@ewillow.com so I can give you credit.)
