MOONLIT FLORA FOUR PANEL

Today’s card features the new Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper and the new Fern & Flora Bundle.  I knew when I saw this suite of products in the new May – August Mini catalog that they were going to be a hit with myself and my customers so I decided to use it first.  I used one of my trusty card templates that I keep in a binder for when I am looking for inspiration.  I create these templates from cards I have seen over the years or just from ideas I have in my head and make them out of cheap cardstock and then I can draw on them for ideas for card layouts (I will share a picture of this one at the end of the post). 

Here is what I came up with today…

The card base is Soft Seafoam cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I orientated this card to be a landscape card rather than a traditional portrait style card just to add some interest for my card class.  I added a layer of the new Peaceful Pine cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼”.  Please don’t hate me but I found that some of these pieces just needed to be cut at 1/8” rather than our standard ¼”. 

I cut four mats from Soft Seafoam cardstock, the first at 1 5/8 x 3 ¾” and then I cut a piece of Golden Glow cardstock to 1 ½ x 3 5/8” and embossed it.  I used a retired embossing folder called Fern 3D because I don’t have the new folder called Fern & Flora, you can use any folder you want.  Once it was embossed I just lightly ran my Golden Glow Ink Pad over it to add some extra dimension and added this the first mat.  Next, I cut a mat at 1 3/4" x 3 ¼” and added a piece of the Moonlit Flora DSP that measured 1 5/8 x 3 1/8” (watch your pattern orientation).  Now it is on to mat number three, I cut it to 1 ¾ x 1 7/8” and to that I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 1 5/8 x 1 ¾” before attaching it to the mat I and stamped it using the stamp from the Fern & Flora Bundle, I used the sentiment “SINCERE THANKS” using the Peaceful Pine Ink in the very top left corner, then I stamped the floral image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with the Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow Stampin’ Blend Markers.  Finally, for the fourth mat I cut a mat to 1 3/8 x 1 7/8” and added a piece of the DSP that measured 1 ¼ x 1 ¾” (again watch that pattern orientation).  When all the mats were complete, I added them to my card being sure to keep everything equally spaced.

I then using the dies from the bundle I cut the large fern out of Peaceful Pine cardstock, the Fiddle Head and another foliage piece (sorry I don’t know its name) out of Soft Seafoam cardstock.  I added these pieces to the top of the embossed.  Then I cut a piece of the new Golden Glow Bordered Ribbon and tied a little square knot bow and added it to the bottom of my die cuts with a Mini Glue Dot. 

Here is the card template I used for this card.

For the inside of the card, I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped one corner with the same floral image I used on the front of the card with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with the Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow Stampin’ Blend Markers.
