Choose your favorite pack of Designer Series Paper, one color of ink and cardstock! I used the Keeping Tabs Bundle to create the tab. You can choose either the punch bundle or the die bundle for the cut out!
I used the Mediterranean Blooms double sided paper for these cards paired with either a Basic Beige or Night of Navy card base.
Don’t throw away your paper scraps! I’ll show you how to decorate the insert and the envelope with those little pieces!
Change the Paper for a New Look!
For this example, I used the Take to the Sky DSP, but used the same ink and cardstock as the other cards.
