Stampin' Up Supplies Used:
Tips to recreate this card:
Cut:
Mint Macaroon cardstock 11" x 4 1/4"
Watermelon Wonder cardstock - 5 1/4" x 4"
Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Whisper White for inside of card - 5 1/4" x 4"
Scrap Whisper White for stamping piece strip of 2" x 5 1/2" or so
Next:
1. Stamp the flower spray twice from Avante-Garden stamp set onto scrap Whisper White cardstock using Crumb Cake Ink. Also stamp the image onto the inside piece of Whisper White (ink once and stamp 3 times up the left hand side of cardstock (as shown in picture).
2. From the second stamped spray you will cut out three individual flowers that you will attach over the same base flower image using Mini Glue Dots.
3. Using blender pen and Blushing Bride ink, color the flower images.
4. Using blender pen and Mint Macaron ink, color in the leaves in the flower spray.
4(b). If you wish, apply a coat of Clear Wink of Stella over the inked flowerheads to give them some sparkle!
5. Now, using one of the smaller layering oval framelits cut out your flower image and set aside for now (but keep the same framelit handy and remember which side of the framelit is up - it makes a difference when you try to place this stamped and die-cut image into the cut out oval in the Watermelon Wonder cardstock! Trust me I know - I already goofed once so you don't have to!).
6. Using same oval framelit and in same orientation as you used to cut out your stamped image, place oval framelit onto Watermelon Wonder cardstock where you like and cut out oval shape (tip: remember which side of oval is up!)
7. Now place your Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper piece over the cut out Watermelon Wonder piece and viewing this "sandwich" through a window or light source place another larger oval die over the SDSP and secure the die with a couple of small pieces of washi tape to hold the die in place. Remove the Watermelon Wonder cardstock piece and die cut the oval from the SDSP.
8. Now glue/tape the diecut SDSP piece to the Watermelon cardstock piece and you will see a "matting" effect (neat huh!).
9. Now take a piece of the Vanilla satin ribbon (about 6 to 8 inches but use what you feel you need) and wrap around the left hand side of the oval opening and tie half of a knot. Before tieing the second half of the know place the 2" piece of metallic ribbon over the first half of your tied ribbon and then as you tie the second half of your vanilla satin ribbon, the gold metallic ribbon piece will be tied into the knot (see photo).
10. Now glue this die cut and ribboned sandwich to the Mint Macaron cardbase! Whoo-hoo - you have done great so far!
11. Now you get to glue your stamped Whisper white oval image into the matted opening - sneaky idea but really cute!
12. Stamp and cut out your greeting - I stamped the banner outline first using Crumb Cake Ink and then I stamped the Happy Birthday greeting in Watermelon Wonder ink. I next cut out the greeting with scissors but you can use the Bunch of Banners Framelits, if you have them.
13. Attach the banner greeting to your card either as shown or wherever you want to put it on the card.
14 I also attached a scrap of the Affectionately Yours Speciality Designer Series Paper to the inside bottom of the card (see photo).
15. All that's left to do is sign your card creation and give to someone special!
Enjoy!
