Hi friends! Today I am sharing a move announcement card that was inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I sat down to create the card and quickly realized that I didn’t have a stamp that said move, moving or moved! Keep reading to find out how I hacked a stamp set to work perfectly for this project…
The supplies I used are linked at the bottom of this post
I started with a piece of Concord & 9th Grapefruit cardstock cut to 9.5″ x 5.5″. The finished card will fit perfectly in an A2 envelope.
Next, I scored each end at the 2.75″ mark.
To create the look of a panel door, I die cut the larger rectangles using Sorbet cardstock and the smaller ones using the Grapefruit. I glued them together and then glued them to the end panels of the card.
Now for the fun part… As I was searching through my stash, I came across the Concord & 9th Flower Medley stamp set!
I used craft tape to cover the “you are” and the “L” of loved and stamped it on the inside of my card. I hand-wrote “we have” and drew the “M” to create my sentiment!
I heat embossed the “hi there” sentiment and glued the right half of it down on the front of the card.
I did not glue the left side to create a little flap to tuck the front flap underneath of it. Check out my video below to see the card in action…
I am so happy with how it turned out and relieved that I came up with a solution to bring my vision to life (thanks to Concord & 9th ofcourse!)
