I'm playing along with the
Tenth Annual
Month of Holiday Cards Challenge
~~~*~~~*~~~
(Beccy's post with "K" inspiration words and
cute carolling Koalas card to inspire are HERE)
My "K" project is Kraft, Kraft cardstock.
No colouring by me today ... instead I have used a merry little music notes image-sentiment combo with Kraft cardstock to make a set of CAS cards. I confess, I love top folding cards and when I get to use a 5" x 7" card base with a landscape front panel,
I'm a happy crafter.
I sized the image-sentiment to fit on a 5" x 7" panel, printed, manually cut then adhered the panel to a card base. Sounds easy peasy, right? No, I like to overthink things and fiddled around with the placement, first smack bang along the middle like the original design file, then in the lower third (yes, the good old rule-of-thirds) and they just didn't look "right".
So I tested the Goldilocks theory and moved it to between the two
and I think it's just right.

Yep... I think the goldilocks theory served you well Tracy, the placement looks perfect to me. I'm also with you on the top folding cards, they're my favourites. And for the hat trick, I'm also on board with the CAS design! Love them!

Your design process made me smile. I think we all can relate to you. Lovely set of cards.
