Card Club - May - Post It U

I started with the large U which is a post it note pad in several colors.  I chose card stock to match the U. I found this designer paper - Real Butterflies at Michaels which had the 4 colors I was going to use in these kits.  I cut a piece 3 inches wide and then placed it to have some coordinating color in the butterflies.  I glue it down and trimmed the top and bottom as needed.  I printed the greeting and flagged the left hand end.  I used a push pin to pierce holes along the edge.  I glued it to a black strip and trimmed the flag end.  I glued the greeting to the top 1/3 of the card and glued the big U next to the greeting. This designer paper was great to add variety so I have kits which include blue, or yellow, or pink or purple.

Card - Card for a young man

I made this for a young man whose birthday was a few weeks ago but I missed it!
I started with the decorative paper and found a card to match.  I color printed the greeting in navy blue on white card stock.  I ripped the to and bottom edges and glued it to the front leaving room for the large U.  I cut the main letter and shadow with Sizzix Shadow Box dies. I added the ribbon flags next to the greeting with staples.
I'm happy with it!

Card Club - Feb - HB to U

I matched the card color to the tag.  I used my Sizzix Shadow Box Alphabet to cut the "U" from the tag.  I color printed the greeting onto cardstock and cut the piece 2"x 4.25".  After aligning the tag and the greeting under it I glued the greeting to the card as determined.  I tied the ribbon to the tag by running it through the "U" and around the tag edge and tied a knot. I used 2 color coordinated brads to hold the tag to the card. I had several color variations with this kit.

Card Club - December - Binding Edge Border Punch

I started with the Binding Edge border punch by EKSuccess on a piece of ruled paper. I used striped scrapbook paper and some coordinating chocolate chip gross grain ribbon. I made the slit in the top fold with the SU Horizontal Slot punch. The large "U" is cut with the Sizzix Shadow Box alphabet die. There possible many color combinations. This one's colors would make it a card for a great guy.
