Hi there paper crafting friends! It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share the Congrats on your Wedding card I made using Lori’s Our Wedding collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I love seeing the new stuff Lori has in the shop each week, but I also enjoy doing a deep dive into past products. Last week, I spent some time looking through all of the card options available in the shop, and I found several files that I just couldn’t live without including the Gatefold Easel Card (SVG, Silhouette).
One thing I really love about this card is the band that holds the card closed. It’s a small detail, but it adds a little something extra to the card. You can use it in place of an envelope to address the card or add an embellishment to the front of the card like I did.
Another feature of the Gatefold Easel Card that I love is how it looks when opened. This is a card that was meant to be on display. In my example, I used a sentiment from the Our Wedding Ephemera as the easel stop. I inked the sentiment and then used adhesive foam to give it the extra dimension to act hold the main card in place. Then I attached the bride and groom element card from the Our Wedding Collection to the front. Such a beautiful reminder of the couple’s special day!
Lori has so many wonderful cards available in the shop, and I know you will find something you can’t live without. With so many options, it’s easy to add several new card files to your collection. The hard part may be picking which one to make first!
Until next time,
Michelle
Michelle – this is wonderful – love the wedding card.
