What do you do when you realize that you need a beautiful card in a jiffy? You grab the very gorgeous Lovely Blossoms DSP (designer series paper), cardstock, some ribbon and epoxy dots and create an easy-peasy card.
Here’s my Lovely Blossoms card:
The DSP truly does all the work for this card and made the whole process quick and easy! Here’s a look at the sheet I used for the front of the card:
What I Did:
- The Secret Sea base measures 11 by 4-1/4 inches, scored at 5-1/2 inches to create a tent card
- I trimmed a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the mat
- To make this card even easier, I stamped the sentiment using Secret Sea ink on the piece of Cloud Cover and cropped it using one of the dies in the bundle
- No one will see the cut out piece once I adhere the DSP
- The panel of DSP originally measured 6 by 4 inches, then I trimmed it down to 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- I needed to trim a coordinating piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Next, I punched a 1-inch circle of DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4 by 5-1/4 inches for the inside of the card
- The last piece of DSP I needed was to go on the bottom of the white cardstock on the inside, and it measures 1/2 inch by 4 inches
- I made a loopy-loop bow out of Petal Pink diagonal trim ribbon, using glue dots to secure the ribbon in place
- Next, I added two mini-dimensionals to the underside of the sentiment in the middle and then added glue dots for the ends
- The glue dots will adhere the cardstock to the ribbon without adding bulk
- Finally, I added three Petal Pink dots to the front
With that, I’d finished this super easy coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal.
