Well my daughter is graduating so I wanted to make special graduation cards. I purchased black cards with vellum envelopes. I did a floral stamp in blue on 2 corners, and found a quote I liked which I placed in the center (where the card folds together...see picture). I used a similar shade of transparent blue vellum for the insert that had the announcement part on it. The cards were at Hobby Lobby for around $5 for 8 cards/envelopes. I did find out after I mailed them (and then got them back) that you have to be careful with odd sized cards. These were 5x5 and needed extra postage. I thought it might have been the clear vellum envelopes that got them returned, but it was the size. Then I put some blue satin ribbon (wrapped like you might do a Christmas gift). The quote I used is:
“Go confidently in the direction
of your dreams.
Live the life you have imagined.”
Henry David Thoreau
Happy Cardmaking!
