Hey there, everyone! Lea here today with a couple of cards to share with you. I recently received a box of all the amazing new goodies that My Mind's Eye has released. It is always such a fun day when this lands on your doorstep....I love going through everything & looking at it piece by piece.
I love EVERYTHING that MME has come out with (who am I kidding..I always love everything), but for today I decided to work with the new Just Sayin' line by Rhonna Farrer. Rhonna never disappoints, and Just Sayin' is an AMAZING collection!
I created two cards full of layers, & dimension & off the edge fun!! I've always felt like cards don't have to be flat & easy to put into an envelope. I love to decorate gift packages & bags with cards, so the more layer & dimension, the better!
Supplies:Just Sayin: "Belong" 12x12 paper, 6x6 paper pad, Chipboard Elements, Transparent Frames, Mixed Bag, Decorative Brads, & Enamel Dots.
In order to not waste that gorgeous & glittery triangle paper....I've used it as the background on both cards. That combined with the colors & love theme give the cards a nice cohesiveness.
On the first card I've added diecuts & papers & chipboard to the left side of the card, not worrying if they overlapped past the edges. If you wanted to put this card in an envelope, just use a slightly larger, padded envelope.
For the second card I didn't put anything over the edges, but I did pop almost every layer with foam adhesive.
I love all the dimension it gives, and the ability to tuck accents under each layer so they just peek through a bit. This card could definitely be put into a normal envelope, but it will most likely still require some extra postage.
I hope this post makes you feel inspired to add dimension & layers, and adding accents that go off the edge a little bit! Thanks for checking out my cards today!
