For Mondays this month, I'll be giving you a list of card "ingredients"-- measurements for all the paper elements you're going to need to put together a clean and simple card. Then, you can either assemble your card according to the instructions/photo, or play around with the arrangement as you see fit. I will be putting the card photo and any assembly instructions in a SPOILER BOX in case you would like to try assembling your card with just the ingredients. It also keeps my photos from taking up all the space on your screen until you're ready to see them.
Of course, as with all recipes, you should feel free to make alterations, additions, and other adjustments as you see fit-- just try to make sure we can get a sense of the original in your creation. (If I'm making egg rolls, please don't make a chocolate cake. LOL.)
As a twist/added challenge: break out those stamp sets that haven't seen ink yet! If you are not a stamper, then use some other supply that hasn't yet been opened-- a new paper pad, a new pack of embellishments, etc.
If you are playing for points, grammadee has scoring instructions as part of the printable list. If you complete all FOUR of my recipe challenges this month, give yourself 31 bonus points, because why not?
I had some computer difficulties trying to get this posted Sunday night, so I will be checking back on last week's recipe Monday night. I haven't forgotten!
Cardtober #11 Recipe
Note that all measurements are given as LENGTH by HEIGHT; however, this will really only matter if you use a patterned paper that has a specific orientation, so you may want to consult the recipe image before cutting. Measurements are imperial; if you need them converted to metric, let me know and I will get out the magical conversion calculator.
This card is an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") horizontal card. I recommend selecting patterned paper first so you can more easily coordinate your cardstock and base.
Ingredients
* One A2 card base (This week, I made mine from coordinating cardstock.)
* 5" x 3.75" white panel (A in the photo)
* 5.25" x 4" solid cardstock (B)
* 5" x .75" patterned paper (C)
* 5" x 1.25" patterned paper (D)
* 5" x .25" patterned paper (E)
* 5" x .375" (3/8") of glitter/foil/specialty paper or ribbon/trim (F) (I used glitter ribbon. Regular cardstock is fine, too.)
* a die cut image, about 2" long (height will vary) (G) (could be a piece of ephemera, could be something you stamp and cut out)
* Recommended: a horizontal sentiment stamp.
Directions
The "trick" for this original was that the fancy cardstock/trim goes over the largest patterned paper. I did not use a new stamp set (this one is a Waffle Flower/Simon Says Stamp from Stamptember a couple of years ago) BUT that's because I really wanted to use this cute (unopened) patterned paper from My Favorite Things. And it turned out I didn't really have any good Halloween stamps, so I turned to this set.
I'm also pretty proud of how my star sequins look suitably random-- something I really struggle with when placing embellishments!
Here is the image with the labels.

) Anyway, no need to use the spoiler to post, but also totally okay for those who do.
