Digital can be so much more than creating great scrapbook pages. I use digital paper and elements for cards and other hybrid projects. (hybrid: when you combine digital with some of the more traditional crafting elements to create something really cool)
Toucan Scraps (Angela) just shared a great tutorial and a designers challenge for making a card - check it out over at Faith Sisters. Here are two of the cards that I made. 
The cards I created are a different size then hers , so I want to share my process. I set up my photoshop template using a "canvas" of 8 1/2 x 11. I can make 2 cards from this template, each card is 4 1/4 x 5.5 and each will fit perfectly in an A2 envelope. I added 4 1/4 x 5 .5 base layers to use as clipping maskes for my background paper. Then I layered additional paper and elements - adjusting the size of each until - voila! - two new cards! Simply print this file on 8 1/2 x 11 card stock or a a nice weight presentation paper. Cut in half, then score/fold each card.
I have a freebie template of the card base for you - download it here.
The papers, elements and epoxy stickers for my cards are from my Fall into Autumn Collection - also available at Faith Sisters here
Thanks for stopping by - see you again soon - by the Shore.
Great fall cards Pam :)
