Looking for a quick, stunning slimline card? Well, this one is it! It is so fast and fun to make! I used the gray wood tones from the soon to be retired Heart & Home DSP with the die cut flowers from the new, gorgeous Hues of Happiness DSP. Different colored flowers along with different patterns and layers, create 2 completely different cards. I paired them with the sentiments from the fun Biggest Wish stamp set and Voila!! My Mom designed one, and I designed the other, using our own personal tastes and color preferences. Can you tell who designed which one??
Measurements:
- Base (White or Smokey Slate): 7" x 8 1/2"
- Heart & Home DSP: 3 1/4" x 8 1/4" (Smokey Slate base), 3" x 8" (White base)
- Basic Gray: 3 1/4" x 8 1/4"
To Make This Card
- Score Basic White Base at 3 1/2". Fold in half. Crease well.
- Emboss Parakeet Party piece with Hive 3D embossing folder. You will need to line it up and emboss, twice. Attach to folded White base.
- Stamp and cut out a variety of "flowers" in Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather, as well as one or two "stems" in Parakeet Party. The centers are Daffodil Delight.
- Stamp "sending" in Fresh Freesia and cut out with larger die. Set aside.
- Now, just start arranging all onto card in a pleasing manner. You need to stamp some of the flowers/stems directly onto the card layer and pop up several with Dimensionals. I started on the left side and worked over to the right, adding the "sending" with Dimensionals fairly soon.
- I decided it needed a little "filler" , so stamped off the little "sprig" in Fresh Freesia.
- Finish with Brushed Brass Butterflies.
