Template #8

Don't you just hate it when you miss something important?!  I went through all my templates again and found after doing last week's templates, #9 and #10, that I had failed to do #8!  Today's video I named template #8 and at the end of this week we should be caught up and well on our way for the rest of the templates I have chosen for this month.


For this card you will need the following

  • Base card:  5-1/2 X 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4.
  • Top layer:  3-1/8 X 4-7/8
  • (2) blocks at 2-1/2 X 3
  • (2) blocks at 1-1/2-1-3/4
  • A sentiment strip of 2-1/2 X 1/2


After showing the layout in my video, I stepped it up and made an actual card, with adding some pieces from our Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and the Beautiful Bokeh 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.
