Priscilla's Papercrafts: Merry Monday and Knit Sweater

I have a lovely card for you today, but unfortunately, unless you purchased these products last year, you won't be able to recreate it. But some of you have this set, so...

I was asked to make a few cards for the teachers of my Aqua Fitness classes. So I pulled out some of my older, retired goodies to show them a little love again.

The background stamp used on this card is Knit Sweater. It is currently available in the Annual Catalog. It makes a great background when you want a warm and cuddly card, and I highly recommend it.

But what makes this card even cuter are the dies that retired - Knit Together. I loved them, and have held on to them. I love the way you can make your cards look like Argyle sweaters!

Now I know that we will need lots of space for signatures, so I made an extended card. When first opened it looks like this:

I used the mitten from Celebrate with Tags and greetings from Framed and Festive.

Then it opens again:

Yup - lots of room for signatures!

To make this, I cut one sheet of Evening Evergreen cardstock in half to make two cards that measure 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored in the middle at 4-1/4". Then I layered one over the other, overlapping one panel in the middle and adhering them together, leaving me with a tri-fold card.
