A Greeting Card for the Eldest

Saturday was National Card Making Day so I decided to make a card for the Eldest and to practice script, layout and design for the Modern Storybook Script class I am taking


The Eldest has moved to a new apartment that is closer to her place of work. I made a 5 in. x 7 in. card base from a sheet of scrapbook paper. The written portion of the card was done on Canson Mixed Media paper. The lettering was done with a Fudenosuke Brush Pen. Materials used for the illustration: Micron Pigma Pen, Tombow Brush Markers, Gelly Roll pen, and a button.

Just in case the button makes the envelope thicker than the minimum requirement, I added a second Love stamp.


The envelope was made with the same scrapbook paper, with the colored side to the inside of the envelope. The envelope was made using the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board

  2. Absolutely fabulous. You have 1/4 inch on first class before you need to add a second stamp. However, it is better to be safe than have it returned to you.

    I like how the inside of the envelope is the scrapbook paper. Beautiful handwriting as always, dear.

    1. Turning the scrapbook paper inside, makes the envelope look like it has a classy, fancy liner

  3. Nice envelope and what we can see of the card. And what a good way to practice your script. I hope you weren't too cold today. It was 42 when I walked at 9 this morning. Brr. hugs-Erika

    1. I just did the card front like a postcard and wrote a note on the back. I was fine most of the day in sweats, but my hands are freezing now
