A Gorgeous Card in only 4 Minutes!

HAH!!!!! I could literally spend HOURS on a card.  Ideally, I should finish a card in a matter of minutes.  I thought when I bought this embossing folder by Darice, I could quickly make an elegant sympathy card (in this case - Pet Loss).  Hah!  We all know the size of an A2 card - why are these folders always just a little bit off?  And with the embossed frame so close to the card edge (only 1/8" smaller) - it was extremely difficult to center this embossed image on the card.  No such thing as finishing this "simple" card FAST!  Truly a shame - because it is a very beautiful embossed image - Clean - but NOT simple.
This cute dog is a freebie from Melonheadz.

  1. A very elegant card Camille. I do agree about the size of embossing folders. No reason why they can't fit it properly tothe card size - they are supposed tobe the experts after all! Christine
