Tuesday Pressed Petals Two-Fer... #3

Two more for your money with the Pressed Petals papers & suite ... along with the Sorry For Everything stamp set... which I have just been re-united with!

A great stamp set to say those things that are difficult to say... and that just need adding to a card when you need it... rather than being pre-made and put in a box ready to go!!

Though I have to admit that I definitely prefer to have them made and ready for when I need them... but I seem to be on my own in that regard! How about you?
And a round up shot of the cards in the series so far for you too!

Both these cards are larger than usual... as that was just the way they worked out as I trimmed them to size based upon the paper panels as they come...

And they are both different sizes... but in hindsight I would use the same size Merry Merlot card blank.... and trim my pre-prepared panel to suit! Life is so much easier that way!
So I started to re-calculate... but then I realised that I didn't even have any envelopes that I could pop these into... as C5s are too large and 5x7"s are too small...

Though I do have some 16cm Square (6 5/16") envelopes that would actually fit the shorter (wood background) card in... in a fashion!
So sorry (as the stamp set says!)... no time for a total re-design this week... so I have to quickly move on... and I will just have to remember to make up a bespoke envelope when the time comes!! 

But... for your information...  both cards are 14cm/5 1/2" wide... the taller at 6 3/4"(script background) and the shorter at 6 1/4" (wood background)
And being honest... me being me... I would re-make to a 14cm/5 1/2" Square card if I was starting from scratch! Especially the wood background one... which would then just be the same as the recipe shared here...
