The Mini Bendi Card has been around for a long time and it appeals to me because it's so simple and something a little bit different. It fits easily in a regular envelope and it stands up on the desk for your recipient to admire.  And it feels a little bit clever to create something like that! We did this one at class recently using the Country Bouquet Bundle. 2022 cards. I created a bunch of these cards last yea r but never wrote them up at the time, so today I am sharing some newly created versions as well. This is a picture heavy post so you can see how it fits together. As usual I like to create a metric version and have written up both metric and imperial measurements to make life simple.

It's been a long tine since I played with any challenges but I always come back to Just Add Ink. This week Jan has totally inspired me with her Acetate Tent Card and I just had to CASE her. (sunflowers and all, thankyou Jan) I made both a T hinking of You card,  and a T hankyou card, and I loved the process. The tutorial is at Spilt Coast Stampers here .  But here are the measurements I used for Australia.      Cardstock      14.8 x 21     Score at 4cm, 14.5cm, 17cm and 19.5cm                              14.8 x 1.2cm to emboss for front strip     Acetate            14.8 x 10.2     DSP / shimmer white     14.8 x 10.2   After creating the sunflower card I also opted for one with the DSP inside- but what to decorate it with? I had fun going back to an old set I haven't used for a while. ...

A Gate Fold Card  is any card where 2 flaps fold in from either side to cover the writing on the inside panel of the card. The size of the card base determines the finished size of the card but the flaps can many different sized - they can be equal width and meet in the middle - they can be one wide and one narrow and fold over each other - they can also be different heights - ie one tall and one short - like this version. I posted a few Pink versions yesterday,  (you can see that post here )  but here are some more masculine samples. We made this card at a workshop earlier this year but I never had time to write up the dimensions which I promised to do so now that I am finishing up making the kits I am recording the dimensions and instructions for you. This is CASEd from a beautiful card which I received last year. DIMENSIONS: Cardstock Card base and Left flap                  17.5cm x 14.7...
