At this time of year I always have a large number of thank you cards stored as the school year is coming to an end and not only do I thank the teachers but there are many others I thank on behalf of the boys. I've taken the opportunity to make a set using the CrafTangles Vintage Rosette paper pad.
Split cards were one of the first types of cards I mastered when I began cardmaking. I'm sharing a variation on this post. The first is card is a traditional split card where you cut out the middle of a sheet of paper and stick the top and bottom parts back on. I've added a contrasting colour card in the middle and a topper cut from the paper pad.
To finish I've added glitter nuvo drops and a die cut sentiment.
Next up I've used the same principle as my first card only the split is vertical, slimmer and to the left of my card.
I've added a doily and matt and layered a topper before adding a die cut sentiment and some nuvo drops to finish.
For my final card I have made the split diagonal and I customised the paper by stamping thanks on it!
I fussy cut one of the flower arrangements from the pad and went around it with ink then added some crystal nuvo drops that give the effect of water drops.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend,
Shabneez
