Where to start? I've learned so much from the Tips and Tricks - is there a word limit? I'd still be picking paper bits off the mat without Easy Steps to Mat Prep. In How to Store Images Off the Page I found how to get everything for 1 card in 1 file. Understanding Font Types sent me searching for very cool fonts of all types - the one on this card is Coneria Script. I resize images every time on working (from How to Resize Images). And I'd have carpal tunnel without The Must Know Shortcut. And since the text was a little skinny in places, using How Do I Outline, I made it fatter. The threaded center would never have cut without How to Smooth Small Angles. And finally, Making Basic Envelopes showed me that I can design any kind or size of envelope I want - I call this one a Sidewise Envelope. Gotten lots of compliments on it. Thanks, Pazzles, for all the GREAT tips and tricks!!
Such a pretty card. I love the threaded look. I had not seen this before.

Wilkieshirley, it's called Spirelli, if you're interested. There's several books detailing the craft and lots of pics online. There's lots of different patterns, too. And thank you!
