A Floral Charm Birthday for the AHSC # 686
Welcome to the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #686! It’s Team B’s turn, and we are happy to share our projects using the sketch.
Please check out the challenge’s page for the creations by the other very talented design team members. When you’ve created your own card for our challenge, please don’t forget to upload them to our gallery. We’d love for you to play along.
Here’s my birthday card:
Here’s the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge inspiration:
The birthday sentiment I used is so large that I needed to turn the card to the landscape orientation.
Measurements:
- The Night of Navy base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 for a tent fold card
- Trim a piece of Timid Tiger to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 for the mat on the front of the card
- The DSP (designer series paper) on the front measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- Trim another piece of the DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Punch a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- The white cardstock for the inside measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- I already had the label for the sentiment cropped using the Fright Night dies from Halloween in my page protector of Timid Tiger scraps
- If I didn’t have it already, I would’ve cropped the sentiment banner from the piece of Timid Tiger cardstock mat
- I also had the flower and leaves leftover from another project
What I Did:
- Unless otherwise noted, I use multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
- Adhere the Timid Tiger cardstock to the front of the base of the card
- Next adhere the Floral Charm DSP to the Timid Tiger cardstock
- Using the Stampin’ Positioner, stamp the birthday sentiment using Night of Navy ink
- Create a loopy loop bow from Mossy Meadow ribbon and glue dots and then adhere it to the back of the sentiment banner
- Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment banner so that they straddle the ribbon, and adhere to the front of the card
- Use dimensionals and liquid glue to adhere the flower and leaves to the front of the card
- Then add three Night of Navy matte dots to the front of the card
- Stamp the inside birthday sentiment in Night of Navy ink and adhere to the inside of the card
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
The Loopy Loop Bow:
I was able to watch Mary Deatherage’s, from Stamps -n- Lingers, Perfectly Pears tutorial. In that video, she showed her loopy-loop bow. That’s what I used for the front of my card. I’m bow-challenged and this technique allows me to relatively easily add ribbon without adding the bulk of a tied bow. If you’ve never seen her videos, you owe it to yourself to watch them. I think she’s the Queen of the Collage. Gorgeous cards!!
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
