Flourishes Friday

Hello Stampers~

Can you believe it's Friday already?  This has been one rainy week here in NH!  Next week looks like more of the same; so I guess I'll be getting lots of indoor projects done.  

My project today is a set of 4-1/4" square cards with matching envelopes in a pouch, much like the one I posted HERE.  I just love making these sets!  They will make perfect gifts for some special people in my life. :)

The first card uses the Cherries and Peaches stamp set.  Each of the images are colored in using Copic markers.

The pretty patterned papers are from Memory Box's Minuet Paper Pad.  The card bases and stamped layers are made with Classic White card stock.  I cut out the images with Spellbinders Labels Twenty Nestabilities die and my Grand Calibur die-cut machine.
The second card uses the Berry Sweet stamp set.

This next card also uses the Berry Sweet stamp set.  Don't you just love the blueberries?

The final card uses the Strawberries stamp set.  Strawberry season is almost here for us, and I cannot wait!

As you can see, I punched a border along the left side of each card.  I used an old border punch from SU on my cards; but you could use anything your heart desires!  I then scored two lines next to the punched border, and added pearls between the lines.
Here's what the outside of the pouch looks like:

 

Finally, here's a shot of the inside of the pouch.
 

As you can see, four cards with envelopes fit nicely inside the pouch.  I used regular medium sized envelopes, and cut them down to be square.  I then added matching patterned papers to the cut side as flaps...easy peasy!

Here are the Copic markers I used.

~Cindy

Hi Cindy~

These are just amazing...and the pouch is beautiful...looks like satin. I just love these cards. I would love to learn how to turn an envelope into a smaller size. I get smaller cards, and they are precious! And, that pouch is fabulous! Any chance you will be making a tutorial for it? I'm not trying to ask for the world...just your knowledge of it! LOL

Wonderful, Cindy!

He IS Able,
