Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Use Color Cardstock for Inside of Cards

 

Tuesday's Tip at Ten: Use a lighter shade of cardstock for the inside of your card instead of always just Basic White. 

These cards were made for a customer's order and so I was able to use the retired cardstock (Misty Moonlight & Just Jade), retired Designer Series Paper (Pattern Party), and my retired stamp set (For Being You). 

But I just love the look of a lighter green (Soft Seafoam) instead of the Basic White. This lighter shade still allows someone to write on it and the writing to be seen. 

I also love I how shorted the cardbase front by one inch so you can see the inside without having to open it! 

I ended up making 50 of these cards and am so excited for to send them out. 

I did use all retired items, but you could use this layout with the paper, inks, and stamps you have by using the measurements below! 

Measurements

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
