Clamshell Cards...



My friend Michelle is yet again a source of inspiration to me. I saw her cute clamshell cards on her blog & decided to make some for all my March birthdays ~ it's a very busy birthday month! I am super excited with how these turned out & they were very easy to make with my Nestabilities. These wonderful little dies are so handy & easy to store. While punches are fun, they are big and bulky AND you can't punch through two sheets of cardstock like you can with the Nestabilities. Michelle has a great tutorial on her blog, so hop on over there and check it out.

I'll have two more versions of this card tomorrow ~ so stay tuned...

Supplies Used: Stamps ~ Live Your Dream (SU); Cardstock ~ Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, white; Pattern Paper ~ Afternoon Tea (SU); Ink ~ Chocolate Chip, Groovy Guava, Certainly Celery (marker); Circle & Scallop Dies ~ Nestabilities; Ribbon ~ Chocolate Taffeta.

  3. I debated and debated about getting that set. Now I wish I did, but then again, I can't always get my sets to work for me like they seem to for other people. This is gorgeous.
