Earthen Textures Thank You Card

 Earthen Textures Thank You Card

I love all the natural tones of this card mixed with my favorite Misty Moonlight!

Directions:

Cut a card base of Grey Granite Card Stock 4 1/4" x 11" score at 5 1/2".

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Grey Granite C/S, emboss using the Cane Weave Embossing Folder and attach to the card base.

Cut a 4" x 3/4" strip of the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper and attach to the card front.

Punch out 2 Vellum Circles with the 2 1/4" Circle Punch, attach to the card front.

Cut a 4" strip of the Copper Clay Ribbon and attach over the DSP strip.

Die cut the following:

1 Pecan Pie C/S large palm leaf, fold on the creases for a bit of texture

1 Vellum small palm leaf

1 DSP tall vase

1 Pecan Pie C/S decorative accent for the small vase

1 Misty Moonlight C/S tall vase

1 Misty Moonlight C/S twigs, cut in half width wise so you have 2 pieces

Stamp the small vase onto Misty Moonlight C/S using Misty Moonlight Ink and die cut. Add the Pecan Pie C/S decorative accent to the small vase using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Trim off excess.

Glue the Misty Moonlight C/S tall vase behind the DSP tall vase so it's sturdier. 

Wrap some Wavy Trim Cord around the tall vase 3X's. 


Attach the vases with Dimensionals then tuck the palm leaves under them and use tiny dots of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to attach. *Tip: you might have to trim down some of the leaf stalks.


Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White C/S using Misty Moonlight Ink. Attach to the card.

Add a Gold Cord Bow and some Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems.

For the inside I stamped a small vase in Misty Moonlight Ink. I "masked" the vase and stamped the leaves in Pecan Pie Ink. (To make a mask, stamp the vase onto a piece of Post-It-Note where the sticky part is. Fussy cut it out. Lay it on top of the vase and stamp the leaves. This makes it look like the leaves are inside the vase.)


I hope you have enjoyed todays card and find some time today to be creative!

(New Post) Fun Fold!

 Fun Fold Card

The Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper is so colourful that it can stand alone all by itself! I only added a few embellishments to finish off the card.


This card is also a simple fun fold and it has lots of room to write a message for the recipient. 


Directions For Fold:

Cut the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper to 10 1/2" x 5 1/2". Be mindful of the pattern direction when cutting your DSP.


Score at 4 1/4", 5 1/4" and 6 1/4". 


Fold and burnish with the center fold (spine) inside. 



Turn over and add Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to the inside of the spine and glue closed. 


Inside of the card with the spine glued closed. (I used a different piece of DSP for these photos)
  

Card Inside:                                                                                    
 Cut 2 pieces of Basic White Card Stock to 3 7/8" x 4 7/8". 

On both pieces of the Basic White C/S, stamp a flower. The flower outline is stamped in Melon Mambo Ink full strength and the inside of the flower is stamped in second generation Melon Mambo Ink. (Stamped off 1x on scrap paper for a lighter look). I stamped one flower on the top and one flower on the bottom of the second Basic White C/S inside pieces. 


Attach these layers to Pretty Peacock C/S cut to 4" x 5" and attach to the card insides. One is glued to the "spine" and the second one is lined up with the first one and glued to the inside back. *Tip: for the layer attached to the spine, only add glue to the left side of the layer. 


Card Front:

Using the Bough Punch and the Soft Shimmer 12 x 12 Specialty Paper, punch out some leaves. I used the Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock Shimmer Paper. Set aside. I punched out 1 big and 1 little bough from each color. 

On a scrap piece of Basic White C/S stamp the sentiment using Pretty Peacock Ink. Angle cut one end. I used the  sentiment "Sending You Sunny Thoughts" from the Trucking Along Stamp Set. What a great sentiment! Anyone could benefit from sunny thoughts!!

Die cut a decorative border strip from the Darling Details Dies using Berry Burst Shimmer paper. Attach it to the sentiment strip on the bottom then attach the sentiment to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Using Glue Dots or Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, attach the punched out leaves, tucking them slightly under the sentiment. 

Add a double Lemon Lime Twist bow to the left side of the sentiment.

Finish the card off with a sprinkling of Adhesive Backed Sequins. 

 

The card back is just as beautiful as the front! Look at the dimension! It really is paper! The Stampin' Up! artist hit this one out of the park!


Don't forget to decorate the envelope too! 

I hope you have enjoyed todays card and get some time to be creative today. 

If you live in Canada I would love to be your Demonstrator.
