I switched to the "In Full Bloom" Simply Scrapping Kit for these cards.
I picked the Sage Shadow card stock from the 12x12 kit and trimmed it down to make two A2 cards with a few left over pieces.
On the left, I cut the desinger paper to 4.00x5.25 inches and then wrapped a wide piece of Baja Breeze gros grain ribbon around it and taped the ends to the back. I adhered the layer to the card front. I created an accent by punching a bee from the DSP with the .75 inch circle punch then added a 1" punched circle in Barely Banana card stock. Layered these and adhered over the ribbon. On the right is the other designer paper in the kit. I ripped the right hand edge of the DSP layer leaving to show the white core of the paper. I added a strip of white card stock on the left and then added another circle bee accent like in the previous card.
Contiued with the same scrapping kit.
Cut each of the designer papers to the leave a small border. The A2 card bases are Barely Banana card stock 12x12 cut to 8.5 x 11 cut in two for these cards.
On the left, I created an accent with a strip of Sage Shadow with Barely Banana squares and bling brads. The strip was mounted with 3D foam tape to accommodate the brad backs which are quick thick. On the right, I made slits in the designer paper to accommodate a strip of Barely Banana card stock making sure I did not cover the yellow elements. I taped that strip down on the back with scotch tape. I added a narrow strip of Lavendar Lace cardstock over the yellow and adhered with double sided tape.
Each card gets a white quarter sheet insert and a white envelope.
