Change can be a Beautiful Thing

I'm bringing today's card to you as an example of a 

change of layout card.

If you are like me... and look back at the last dozen or so cards you have made... 95% of mine are single, straight fold A2 card base.  If it wasn't for the Christmas season, and doing some extra special ones, that percentage would be higher.  How about yours?

While crafting this past weekend, my table partner was trying to use up some of her scraps and came up with the base design for today's card. Although this isn't something new, sometimes it's good to be reminded of different basic folds to use.  As you will remember, you can vary the measurements to make it a vertical card just as easily.

Here's the card I made using the sentiment from Unity's stamp set Spark designed by Graciellie:

The base card measures 9" by 4" and the fold is at 5 1/2", which gives you a different opening and opportunity to embellish with coordinating papers.

Treat the top panel and the side panel separately when cutting your matted papers and remember to only attach your embellishment to lap over on the left side of the top panel. 

This is a great way to use some of your coordinating scraps and a quick card base design.  

I hope you will give it a try ~ 

I'm sure your Change will be Beautiful!

Thanks for stopping by today.  This card an others are available for

purchase on my Facebook page, Not Just Scraps.
