I'm trying to make up a few blank cards to sent shut-ins at church. I sorta copied this from another site. I wanted photo corners but I couldn't figure out to make them so this is what I ended up with.
I think to make the corners, you just need to cut an equilateral triangle out of the triangle's inside side. That would leave a "border of about a fourth of an inch on the two edges. Experiment!
I had a piece that came with a pack I bought a couple years ago. It never was the right color so I use it for a pattern and trace around it. Later today I'll try to post a similar card that I like better. Glad to see you back!!

I wanted to share my blog "creation story." I was great at creating and stashing cards away, but my friends made fun of my hoarding. I never sent the cards! I was afraid that I could never recreate the hard-earned ideas. I began photographing cards and eventually created this blog, which allows all of us to have a record of what we have created. The title of the blog applies to me and probably no one else who posts on here...but as much as I've tried to come up with a new title, this one stuck. I'm so grateful to all of you for contributing and following this blog!!

Dot-
I love it! I think I'm going to steal the idea for my card class and try out my little dragon fly design.
I think that the corners are great the way they are!
Thanks for the great idea.
one question...how did you get the cool squiggly border between the two sides?
