Biglietto a tre falde / Trifold Card

Ho visto diversi biglietti a tre falde e ho deciso di provare a farne uno.

Dato però che non ho le belle carte da stamping che vedo usare nei siti online, non ho i bei nastri grosgrain o a zig zag colorati, non ho gli embellishments o le forme in cartoncino pretagliate che hanno negli States, mi sono dovuta arrangiare con quello che avevo: timbri e colori.

Tra l'altro ho avuto una brutta sorpresa oggi: ho ordinato alcune dime per la mia Cuttlebug ed ho immediatamente pagato la fattura che mi hanno mandato. Stamattina, senza una parola di spiegazione, il venditore mi ha restituito i soldi.

Mah... torniamo al biglietto. La carta di fondo è stampata con i colori a pigmento Sky Blue, Bisque e Pinecone. I set usati, in tutto il biglietto, sono Happy Harmony, Delight in Life, Paint Prints, Roses in Winter e That's Nice.

Naturalmente la foto è venuta uno schifo, i colori non risaltano (alcuni nemmeno si vedono) e questa era la foto migliore! Che rabbia!


I've seen a lot of Trifold Cards and I decided to try.

I'm always taking the "with limited supplies" Splitcoaststampers challenge! LOL

No wonderful designer papers here in Italy, just a few scrapbooking papers, with large designs and a price that makes me think they're made out of pure gold! No colored grosgrain or ric-rac, no striped or polka dot colored ribbons, no embellishments, no chipboard shapes...

I had a couple of bad surprises lately: I bought two days ago some Cuttlebug dies. This morning my money was sent back, and the seller didn't even explain why! I feel it like an injustice: the auction was regular, the item was marked for shipping worldwide and the payment was immediate! I feel the urge to write to Ebay and file a complaint.

Then, I received a message from Papertrey. I won't be able to buy their Faux Ribbon set because they ship overseas only using the Global Mailer, but Italy is not among the countries in the Global Mailer list: I always have to ask sellers if they can send the stuff by Airmail letter post.

I asked Papertrey if they can make an exception for Italy, but it seems they can't!

Well, back to the card: the background is stamped with pigment inks: Sky Blue, Bisque and Pinecone. The sets used are Happy Harmony, Delight in Life, Paint Prints, Roses in Winter e That's Nice.

Naturally the photo is a crap, the colors are muted and some don't even show. And this was the best one!
