My cousin asked me last month if I could make a special card for her to take to a family reunion/80th birthday party. I was happy to help out and the only thing she asked was the colors remain fairly neutral and asked if I could include their name somewhere to make it special.
I knew it would have to be a larger card to get both their names on it, so I went with a 5.75 x 5.75 card to fit in a 6 x 6 envelope. This might not even be the exact measurements as I didn't get those before I mailed them out.
I used the gate-fold card with scor-pal instructions here. Love how this card turned out and told my cousin I wasn't sure I was going to put it in the mail :-) The outside she chose this sentiment from Verve Stamps Blessings set.
For the inside, I went with my much neglected Stamp Rite and customized it to include their names.
Hope they enjoyed the card, I sure enjoyed making it!
