A New Catalogue preview - Ornate garden bundle

With all the craziness everywhere,  it is important to do activities, like crafting, that prevent boredom and  promote mental health.

I have been staying home, not because I have the virus, but because I have a lot of risk factors that would make me very ill should I get it.

So, I am taking this opportunity to catch up on neglected tasks and to make samples of new products coming in the new Annual Catalogue in June. One of the new items is the Ornate Garden bundle, which will be available for customer order on April 1 (see link to flyer below).

Today I am sharing an envelope card, with a written tutorial, made using the products from this suite.

Card Base: 

• Score  9 1/2 by 5 1/2" Thick White card stock at 3 and 7"
• Fold down at  3" score line to form card flap; fold up at 7" score line to form a 2 1/2" pocket.
• Burnish all folds.
• Adhere pocket edges to card base using tear and tape adhesive.

• Round the corners of the top  lid using the Detailed Trio Punch
