My daughter and I shared the task of making the card: we designed, she made, I supervised.
It was a bigger than normal card, an A5 size: the front was 21cm tall and 14.7 cm wide.
It tied closed with the lovely natural linen-look ribbon from the Magnolia Lane ribbon combo because it opened out like a book to reveal three writing panels and because the untying of the ribbon would add some more drama to the card and its messages.
This close-up of the card front shows the textures and layers more clearly.
After we'd created such an enormous card, there was then a question of an envelope. As we were designing on the fly, I worked out the dimensions to make a customised lidded box to put it in.
This is the top of the box.
The party has been and gone. The new job started today. I hear the card and its messages were well received. 😀
One of the many great things about crafting is that you can produce the exact card you want, when you want it. You can customise to your heart's content!
