I wanted to show today that I can make small simple cards! I know that the fashion over the pond and in Europe is for smaller possible cards as opposed to some of the large flights of fantasy that I usually go into so I wanted to show that not only can a small card be effective it can still have dimension without layers and layers of foam tape! This card, again that like yesterdays could be made in any colour, would be perfect for batch card making especially for selling at craft fairs of for charity.
I thought today that it would be fun to show this card made in 2 colour ways. I have made this in the 6 main colours of my new collection but to see all 6 you will need to tune into my stamp and paper pad launch on Hochanda at 8pm next Monday to see how this set was done.Its quite a simple are with the background stamped in jet black archival ink then shaded with matching colour cloud blending ink.
I added a strip of ribbon and matching bow in the same colour and stamped on the sentiments.
Another peak tomorrow of the show samples and demos.
Enjoy...
Morning John, simply stunning the cards are today x

great card John ,I'd like to see more cards this size or at least no bigger than 6 x 6 for thw simple reason of postage costs
ReplyDeleteLovely cards John. I often make smaller, simpler ones because they're easier to put in the post. They can be just as effective. Love the big fancy ones too, of course!
ReplyDeleteLove these, John. I do make smaller cards.

Good morning John as I generally make 7x5 or 6x6 these cards appeal to me greatly. Love their simplicity and definitely less is more. Love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Jackie's comments I too, make 5x7 and 6x6 cards as a rule And these cards are perfect Not only size but depth too has to be a consideration for postage
ReplyDeleteMorning John, it is nice to see smaller card, and these are lovely and when you have to consider postage these are ideal
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Love these cards John. As they are smaller and not so fiddly they would be good for my crafty OAP's to make, if you don't mind me copying. SueL x
ReplyDeleteIt is surprising how different 2 similar cards can look in different colours. I like to make batches of smaller cards once in a while to use up all the smaller pieces of card I have in my bits box.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth

ReplyDeleteLovely cheery looking cards. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely cards. The only problem I now have is that I won't be able to watch your show only Monday evening as I'll be travelling home. I did try to record it. However, as they hadn't put that it was a Creative Expression show only saying Join us for an hour it won't record. They've done this before with Johns shows. It's so annoying when you know when you'll be on but not us.
These are wonderful! I love the designs.

Another stunner even though it is not your usual fancy style I still like it and it is great for keeping postage costs down.
