We look forward to seeing your creations there!

I didn’t really have anything for gardening, which surprised me and must be remedied quickly. In the meantime, I needed to do some thinking about how to interpret the theme for a masculine card using the materials I have on hand.

Here’s my card:

Measurements:

The Secret Sea base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
The Very Vanilla base measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches, from which I cropped the sentiment rectangle
The script DSP, from the Nature Walk DSP (designer series paper) set, measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
The Secret Sea DSP at the bottom, also from the Nature Walk DSP, measures 4 by 1-1/2 inches
I trimmed a piece of the script DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Then I punched a 1-inch circle of the Secret Sea DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
I punched the Mason Jar from a piece of the Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper and used a blending brush and Pecan Pie ink to add texture

What I Did:

Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
I adhered the Secret Sea DSP to the script DSP, then layered that on the Very Vanilla, then adhered it all to the base of the card
I cropped the majority of the leaves from Nature Walk DSP scraps using the Fern & Flora DSP
Using tear & tape to secure the Baker’s Twine, I wrapped it around the top of the Mason Jar
I adhered the leaves to the top of the Mason Jar then added dimensionals underneath all of the pieces
After adhering the Mason Jar, I stamped the sentiment, from the Flowering Meadows stamp set in Secret Sea ink on the rectangle I cropped
Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhere to the Secret Sea stripe of DSP
I didn’t add a sentiment to the inside because the outside sentiment is so versatile that I can add one on the inside when I decide the purpose of the card

With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
