The first of the cards I used the cute heart stencil. Then I made mini card bases by cutting pieces of 5 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ and scoring them at 2 5/8″. Also the pattern paper had one sheet of strips and one sheet of cards. Then I had the little envelopes and loads of little diecuts left. And finally I would either place the sentiment a little bit off so that the teacup would have more room or chosen a smaller die cut. Secondly I would use a white card stock instead of the vellum to make the sentiment pop a little bit more from the pattern paper. First I would use a lighter glitter card stock or I would use the Surf Blue card stock for the letters.

But I know what I would change to make it better. I had an idea but I must be true and say this time I didn’t delivery. The second thing on my little pile next to me was the A2 envelope and the sentiment die. The little white airy clouds was just what the card needed. I masked out the ephemera pieces where needed. I then realized that I felt it needed something more, so I pulled out a cloud stencil and some Simon Says Stamp White Pigement Ink, and did some ink blending. I added the airplane and it’s flag on the card with foam squares and then sprinkled some ephemera clouds and hearts around it, and glued them directly to the cardstock.

So I took the Surf Blue Cardstock and cut a 7″ x 8 1/2″ piece and then scored it lengthwise at 3 1/2″.

And due to it’s share size I needed a slimline card. When I saw the cute airplane with the flag after I knew I needed to make a card with it.
