This week there is a lot to inspire you about the new Memory Box "What's in the Box" release. I have something to show you every day this week, and there are multiple posts/day scheduled over on the Outside the Box blog. Of course, there are prizes to be won on that blog, but I still hope you will be inspired by mine!
Today I wanted to make a card that wasn't my standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" size, but I still wanted it to take standard postage. Therefore, I decided to make something that would fit inside a standard business envelope.
The card was made out of some Cranberry Distressed Dot paper and layered with some cranberry and white cardstock. I made the word background by stamping the Peach Love and Joy image (G1874) a couple of times onto white paper using red ink. I then layered the Eyelet Stocking die (98416) on top and added a bit of red/white bakers twine as a hook.
I hope you will check back each day this week for more ideas!
Great card. I "forget" about that size card. It's not only practical, but pretty!

I would have thought that was a printed paper with all the words. Never would I have thought of stamping it like you did what a great idea and I can see doing it for other cards/holidays now how many tries did it take to get them so perfect!!! My hat is off to you!!! Great idea Thanks
