Today I will be sharing another of my swap cards. This card is another simple card that uses punches
and an embossing folder to add texture and dimension without a lot of fuss and
work. As I have explained before I
create a lot of cards for the Congregational Care Team at my church and I certainly
see many of these cards with lots of different sentiments in my future.
The base of the card is a piece of Rococo Rose
cardstock (one of this year’s in colors and one of my favorites) cut to 5 ½ x 8
½” scored at 4 ¼”. This card however
does not open as many of mine do from right to left but instead opens from the
bottom up.
I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” I
stamped the sentiment “Smile” from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Rococo Rose ink
on the center far right of this layer. I
also added two of the ferns also from the Daisy Lane stamp set just to the left
of the sentiment using Pear Pizzaz. I
then embossed this layer using the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (I love the
dimension embossing folders add to projects).
I added this layer to my cardbase using Tear and Tape (I find that it
holds layers that have been embossed better than other adhesives).
Next, I stamped one of the larger and one of the
smaller daisies from the Daisy Lane stamp set onto Rococo Rose cardstock using
Rococo Rose ink. I then used the
coordinating punches to punch both of these out as well as two plain daisies in
each size. I used my trusty bone folder to
curl up the edges of my daisies (the way real flowers grow) and layered my
daisies off-setting the layers for a nice full look. I adhered this flower to the center of the
card where the two ferns meet and then added a Clear Faceted Gem to the center
to finish off my daisy.
I love the simplicity of this card and the fact that
the color of the cardstock and inks can be easily changed out to make some cute
card sets. I hope you enjoyed this card
and I sure hope the attendees at the On-Stage event are happy to receive it as
a swap. As always, the supplies to make
this card and many other projects are available on my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net
