Hello there, hope you are doing well. With the end of the year approaching, being sick and doing online classes, days feel shorter than ever! I had started working on my new year cards really late this time. For the first time, my father came up to me and asked me to make a new year card to give. I was really excited to make it, it had to be really toned down and simple which I had a really hard time to maintain!
So, I wanted to try something different from the usual folded cards ( as I had fun making the easel card last time), I went to Pinterest and came across the above template for the center step card! ( I have linked the picture to the owner, make sure to check it out!) I definitely didn't get it right at the first try because I habitually folded the panel in half, also because I was using a different measurement.
So here's the entire card:
The front. I had lost my confidence because the front looked so empty and didn't have much to make it the center ( that was before I finalized the front by sticking it down), my brother kept assuring me throughout that this was enough! Big thank you to my brother!
The inside of the card. It was fun constantly having to mat patterns onto the base, my most favorite thing to do!
The back. I kept the back simple, since the card already had a lot going on.
Finally the envelope! I went back to struggling to make envelopes again. Since this card had an unusual size, I had to make a two-panel envelope, which means I had to cut the front panel and the back panel of the card separately and stick it together to form this. The entire time I was making this card, I put this song on loop - "헨리 (HENRY) – It’s You Lyrics While You Were Sleeping OST". The song was so beautiful, I kept messing up my measurements. Three times! I messed up three panels to get this envelope right finally.
I believe I pulled it off though, it is fun trying out different cards nowadays. Hope you liked this card of mine, I will be back soon to show you some adorable new year cards if I get around to making it (I have a bad case of cold right now sadly!). Stay safe and take care.
Love,
Foo💜
