Here’s my card:
I used the Beautiful Gallery DSP (designer series paper), and this pattern uses Basic Beige and Early Espresso. I added Petal Pink and Old Olive. All in all, this could be considered an easy peasy card.
Measurements:
- The Early Espresso base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-`/4 inches
- I trimmed a piece of Petal Pink cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the mat
- The Beautiful Gallery DSP measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- I also trimmed another piece of the DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- I punched a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and ran it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- I cropped the sentiment panel out of white cardstock using a Textured Notes die
- The Basic Beige cardstock for the inside of the card measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
What I Did:
- First, I used two of the Stylish Shapes circle dies and cropped a circle out of the DSP and one from Old Olive cardstock
- Next, I used the Petal Pink and Old Olive blends combos to color the cropped DSP circle and the DSP for the envelope flap
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces together
- I adhered the DSP to the cardstock, then adhered the layers to the base of the card
- Then, I used glue dots to adhere some Petal Pink diagonal ribbon to the DSP
- I adhered the DSP circle to the Old Olive circle, then added dimensionals to the back of the Old Olive circle
- Make sure your dimensionals will straddle the ribbon before adding them to the back of the circle
- Stamp the sentiment using Old Olive ink and a sentiment from the With You in Mind stamp set on the scrap of the white cardstock
- I probably could have used Basic Beige for the sentiment block but I wanted a contrast so the sentiment didn’t blend into the background
- After adding dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card, I added three Petal Pink epoxy dots to the card
- Then, I stamped the sentiment for the inside in Old Olive ink on the Basic Beige cardstock and adhered it to the inside of the base
