Here’s my card:
Here’s the AHSC #680 sketch:
White the Perfectly Pears products are recently retired, I hope you can find some inspiration in my project.
Measurements:
- Trim the Secret Sea baes to 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- Trim a piece of Petal Pink cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- If you are using a directional pattern piece of DSP (designer series paper) 5-3/8 inches high, trim it to 7/8″ , 1-7/8″, and 7/8″
- Trim 6 pieces of coordinating DSP to 7/8 by 1-1/4 inches for the side pieces
- Trim another piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Punch a 1-inch circle of coordinating cardstock and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- Trim a piece of DSP to 3/4 by 4 inches for the inside of the card
- Crop a piece of Petal Pink cardstock using one of the Nested Essentials dies
- Use scraps for the sentiment banner
- Since I used the Perfectly Pears DSP, I used the dies to crop the pears and leaves from the DSP
- Crop two sets of leafs/branches from scraps of Mossy Meadow cardstock
- Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4 by 5-1/4 inches for the inside of the card
What I Did:
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
- Adhere the Petal Pink cardstock to the base of the card
- Space the three strips of DSP and adhere them to the Petal Pink mat
- Adhere the 6 pieces of the coordinating DSP to the outside strips of DSP
- Use a length of ribbon to create a loopy loop and adhere it together and to the front of the card using glue dots
- Directions for the loopy loop below
- Stamp flower from the Perfectly Pears stamp set on the Petal Pink cropped piece using the same color ink
- Add dimensionals to the back of the Petal Pink cardstock making sure to have them straddle the loopy loop bow and adhere to the front of the card
- Adhere the leaves/branches to the piece of Petal Pink cardstock
- Then adhere the pears
- Stamp the sentiment using Secret Sea ink and crop using one of the Stylish Shapes dies
- Add dimensionals behind the cropped sentiment and adhere
- Stamp the inside sentiment using Secret Sea ink and adhere to the inside of the card
- Adhere the strip of DSP to the inside bottom of the card
With that, I finished with coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
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!
