Envelope Card
Here's another project made with retiring cardstock and Designer Series Paper. This card is made from a cardstock envelope, then I made a larger envelope out of DSP for the real envelope.
Product List
- Using the Envelope Punch Board, I made an envelope from an 8 x 8 inch piece of cardstock.
- I adhered three sides of it together, and cut one end off - which became the top of my card.
- For the insert, I cut 4 x 5-1/4 inch mat, then 3-3/4 x 5 inch white layer for stamping.
- A 1-1/4 inch circle punch made the pull for the insert.
- I used the new Springtime Impression Thinlits for the butterfly, floral panel and the flower on the insert.
- The envelope is made from 8-1/2 x 8-1/2 inch piece of DSP to create a 4-1/2 x 6 inch envelope

Color Selection Tools
A bit more about the color selection process. Two tools I use a LOT are, my cardstock deck, and my designer series paper swatch book. Initially I made the swatch books to show customers what patterns were available in the various packages. However, I soon found out that I was using them a lot as I designed cards and other projects. I made cardstock decks for my customers. If you'd like to make one of your own you can download the file here.
As I looked at the list of colors found in this DSP (designer series paper), I looked at my cardstock deck and tried to decide which ones to use. I ended up selecting Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam. I NEVER would have thought of using these two colors together had it not been for the colors in this pretty paper:) The two pieces of DSP measure 2-1/4" x 3" and 2-3/4" x 4." The card sketch I used is pictured below as well.

Color and Design
I've got to talk to y'all about color. One of the things that is the most fun is to choose and coordinate colors in a project. I designed this card using a card sketch. The first thing I chose was the pretty designer series paper called Garden Impressions. I love the fact that I have coordinating inks and cardstocks. It looks better when you are using night of navy ink and night of navy cardstock as opposed to two random blues. Plus, when I thought about it this morning, it's just plain FUN. I looked at the colors used in the paper (Night of Navy, Mango Melody, Shaded Spruce, Soft Sea Foam and So Saffron) which are listed in the catalog and on the packaging. It made the selection process simple and fun.
I begin by thinking of the cardstock colors I wanted to use, Night of Navy and So Saffron, then thought of what colors I'd like to use for the flowers and stems. So Saffron as the base color for the flowers and Mango Melody for the darker highlights. Soft Sea Foam for the stems and Shaded Spruce for the darker highlights. Then I began thinking of what to put in the circle part of the sketch. I could have stamped a flower and cut it out with a circle framelit, or I could use the flower thinlit that coordinates with this set. As you can see I chose the thinlit and accented it with pearls.
