Let's take a break from Carousel Horses and look at a card I made my aunt for her birthday! I just loved the colors and composition of this card! It uses the Cheerful Daisies Bundle. The inspiration came from demonstrator, Jennie Stark, Enjoy!
Measurements:
- Crushed Curry: 4 1/4" x 11", 2 3/4" x 4"
- Garden Green: 4" x 5 1/4", 3" x 3 3/4" (cut diagonally), 1/4" x 4" (inside)
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 3 3/4" x 5" (outside), 2 1/2" x 3 3/4", scraps
- Fresh as a Daisy DSP (N): 3" x 3 3/4" (cut diagonally), 3/4" x 4" (inside)
To Make This Card:
- Attach Garden Green layer to folded Crushed Curry Card. (for Marcia's, I just made this a "postcard" layer.)
- Run White piece through Stitched with Whimsy die. Then, attach to card front.
- Diagonally cut the 2 pieces for the "pocket". Save the other halves for another card!
- Run the Garden Green piece through the Elegant Eucalyptus Embossing Folder.
- Place 1/8" Tear n Tape along shorter, corner edges of diagonally pieces. Attach the Green first, and then the DSP over as shown. Lining up the edges with the edges of the White layer.
- For the pocket card, (this version is just a piece - Marcia's was a folded 2 3/4" x 8" card). Stamp the stem from the Sending Smiles Daisy in Garden Green, onto the white piece.
- Die cut 2 pieces of the partial Daisy, leaving the pieces together! (I used a piece of Scotch Tape). Stamp the center in Early Espresso ink, and then add a die cut center of Crushed Curry. Then add over top stem with a Dimensional.
- Next, stamp the 3 flowers in Crushed Curry ink. Die cut with corresponding die. Color in centers with Early Espresso marker. Attach to remaining stem with Dimensionals.
- Now, attach this piece to the Crushed Curry layer.
- Before I added this piece to the "pocket" I stamped a sentiment in Crushed Curry, that would be hidden by insert.
- If using a full card, finish the inside with a White pieces and papers as shown.
- Lastly, I added a retired Bumble Bee Trinket, and a Crushed Curry Bow.
