I recently held my new catalog open house (yes very late and very small with lots of social distancing thanks to the current situation). I did however plan some make and take cards since the ladies have not crafted together in months and we all needed some creative time together.
Here is one of the cards we made…
The card base is Soft Seafoam cardstock that is cut 5 ½
x 4 ¼”. Then there is a layer of Whisper
White that measures 4 x 5 ¼” that I embossed using the beautiful Dainty Diamond
3D Embossing Folder on. For the part of
the card that actually opens I cut a piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock to 4 ½ x 6”
and scored it at 3”. This is adhered to
the center of the card base using Dimensionals to give it height and interest. I then cut out two pieces of Whisper White
cardstock using the stitched rectangle die from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (the
cardstock was about 4 ¾ x 3 ¼”).
Now comes the fun part, stamping and decorating. For the inside panel I simply stamped the
butterfly from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set in the corner using Smoky Slate
ink and then I added a little Night of Navy colored pencil and blended it out
with my blender pen. Here’s what it
looks like finished…
On the panel that became the front of the card I
stamped the sentiment across it using more Smokey Slate ink and I stamped the
fern across the center with Soft Seafoam ink.
I used a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and stamped another butterfly with
the Smokey Slate ink and die cut it using the same coordinating dies. I wrapped a piece of the Whisper White Polka
Dot Tulle Trim around this layer and tied a square knot. This was then adhered to my card and my card
was finished.
I hope you enjoy this card it was certainly fun to
create and the ladies at the open house really liked it. As always you can find the supplies to create
