I've been reading your posts about scale (thank you!) and was finally able to apply the lesson to one of my cards. I was going for a CAS Yom Kippur card to do in assembly-line fashion for the ladies at the retirement home. The beautiful stamps from PTI's Mazel Tov set are G0RGEOUS, but small and swam on a sea of white on an A2 card. I took a hint from you and cut it down to 3x3 and it looks FAB! Oops-no envies, so I just put them at each place setting in the dining hall. Almost looks like I did it on purpose.<br />Susan, you are a gift from Heaven.Sarah Kegley (kegbo)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-53735854373113392412009-09-28T20:49:36.374-04:002009-09-28T20:49:36.374-04:00UH-OH, now we're all gonna want before and aft...UH-OH, now we're all gonna want before and after card photos! ;)<br />Nice save.Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365905998420493841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-20850569630883178082009-09-28T19:59:42.797-04:002009-09-28T19:59:42.797-04:00Thanks... this type of explanation.. sort of the &...Thanks... this type of explanation.. sort of the 'talking out loud' that provides the why as well as the how... helps me improve my own card design thought process.

(Of course, I've usually already dropped the card in the mail by then - thank goodness most recipients aren't so design-minded!) On an almost-related note, have you seen the EK Christmas ornament punch (of the folding variety)? It punches three ornament shapes, all of which remind me of this set. Tempted again!

You know, I've looked at that PTI stamp set "Signature Christmas," and not been sold on it. But it's PERfect here, gives the card more substance than one without the cursive to it. And the blue color is perfect. I do have to admit, you've widened my choices of Christmas colors!
