Welcome to the 200th Cardz 4 Galz challenge! Amazing! Our host for #200, Billie A., chose slimline birthday cards as our theme. When you are finished here, I hope you will pop over to the challenge site to see what the rest of the design team members created. I thoroughly enjoy watching the projects get posted on the challenge admin site, and I am sure you will be inspired to play along. Don’t forget to enter your project into our challenge. I’m that person – the one who creates a card for a challenge and then forgets to post it to the challenge sites. Not tonight!
At first, I wasn’t sold on the new In Colors for 2023 – 2025, but they are quickly growing on me. My card for this challenge uses Boho Blue, Copper Clay, the Fresh as a Daisy DSP (designer series paper) and the Fresh as a Daisy Suite Collection (page 110 – 111 in the annual catalog).
Here’s my card
Isn’t the Copper Clay gorgeous with the Boho Blue? Stunning!
Measurements and Such:
The Copper Clay base measures 9 by 8 inches, scored at 4 inches.
Trim a piece of the Fresh as a Daisy DSP to 4-3/8 by 3-7/8 inches.
Crop the daisy pieces and centers from white and Copper Clay cardstock.
Stamp the greeting using VersaMark on a scrap of Copper Clay cardstock.
Cover the greeting with white embossing powder and heat set.
Crop with the banner die from the Cheerful Daisies die set.
Wrap a length of white baker’s twine around the DSP 3 times and secure the ends on the back of the DSP using tear-&-tape.
Adhere the DSP to the cardstock using multipurpose liquid adhesive.
Use white baker’s twine to tie a double bow around the baker’s twine.
Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and daisies. Make sure you put the dimensionals on the greeting banner so they straddle the baker’s twine.
Adhere the daisies and greeting banner to the DSP.
Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4-14 by 3-3/4 inches for the inside of the card.
Stamp the greeting and adhere the white cardstock to the inside panel.
Use a legal size envelope for this slimline card. The ones I have ae 4-1/8 by 9-1/2 inches.
That’s it. This card came together pretty quickly because the DSP does all the work.
