Back to the Box

Today I decided that I just had to try out the new MoBe letter stamps that I have managed to get at discount prices so this is the first of, I hope, many cards. The advantage of this is that it uses more of the fab papers from the Take Out the Stash box as well as the blue paper raffia that I sell on the site.

I got my inspiration from a card that I had seen in the MSE catalogue so I can't claim it as my own. I adopted it to the paper and colours that I had though.

This card is larger that the ones that I usually make as it is a folded A4 card. I thought that as the pattern was so large it needed a bigger card.

I used the Scrapbook Walls Jr. Varsity Argyle for the patterned paper and blue raffia to thread through and make the bow. The paper came from the Take Out the Stash box and still left more than enough to make more cards.

The words were stmaped with the new MoBe Penguine Attack unmounted rubber stamps.

I punched a hole either side of the card near the top and I then threaded the raffia through the holes. I ties a knot in the raffia and then I opened the raffia out. This is versitile stuff and it sits neatly where you want it to, and can be opened in other places for a very pleasing finish.

I stamped the letters for the word 'DAY' onto separate pieces of card and stuck them to the base card using foam pads. if you do this it does not matter if you make a mistake as you can stamp another square. Much better than ruining a card.
