Daisies, Try Stampin on Tuesday #470 Challenge, and Blog Candy
While commenting on cards uploaded to the Make My Monday challenge # 128, I came across a new to me challenge, Try Stampin on Tuesday. The current challenge inspired me to create this card:
Here’s the challenge banner:
I happily combined Flowers for Every Season DSP, the Ornate Garden 3D embossing folder, and the Lovely You stamp set to create this card.
Flowers for Every Season
- I used Just Jade for the card base cut to 5-1/2 inches by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches.
- Using the Ornate Garden 3D embossing folder, I ran some white cardstock through my Big Shot. Then, I trimmed the cardstock to 4 inches by 5-1/4 inches.
- Next, I trimmed another piece of white cardstock to 4 inches by 5-1/4 inches for the inside of the card.
- I trimmed the daisy piece of DSP to 3-3/8 inches by 3 inches. While I had that DSP out, I also trimmed a piece of the daisy DSP to 2-1/2 inches by 6 inches for the envelope flap. There is also a piece of this DSP on the bottom of the inside of the card. I trimmed that piece to1/4 inch by 5-1/4 inches.
- Thankfully, I had some scrap cinnamon DSP from the Flowers DSP. I trimmed my scrap to two pieces measuring 3 inches high and 1/2 inch wide. I simply used multipurpose liquid adhesive to attach one to each side of the daisies. Then I put dimensionals under this combined piece.
- I also already had the Stitched So Sweetly label. Since I really, really like the script font in the Lovely You stamp set, I used one of those sentiments. I almost did a happy dance when I found a sentiment that would fit on the part of the label I wanted to use. The label is cut in half, and then I put dimensionals under it as well.
- Before I put everything together, I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade ribbon and tied it in a square knot.
- Since I got everything together at once, I was able to quickly put the card and envelope together. With that, I’d finished this card/envelope set.
