Tutorial: Pot of Sunflowers

 

Cut your cardstock:

• Card Base: Very Vanilla; 8 ½” x 5 ½” – score at 4 ¼”
• Second Layer: Rich Razzleberry;  5 3/8” x 4 1/8” – cut two
• Inside Third Layer: Very Vanilla; 5 1/8” x 3 7/8”
• For Front of Card: Striped Designer Paper; 4 ¼” x 2 ¼”
• Coordinating Designer Paper: one strip at ¾” x 2″, one strip 5/8” x 2”
• Crushed Curry: 3”x 3”
• Scraps of Very Vanilla for stamped pieces

Emboss one 5 3/8” x 4 1/8” piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock with the Tin Tile folder, then snail to the card base.

Snail the 4 ¼” x 2 ¼” piece of Designer Paper to the card front. Refer to photo for placement.

Flag one end of each of the Designer Paper strips and snail to the card front. Refer to finished card photo for placement.

Using the filigree corner border stamp from the Many Blessings stamp set and Rich Razzleberry ink, stamp the border in each corner of the 3” square piece of Crushed Curry cardstock. Use Dimensionals to adhere this piece onto the card front.

Using Black Stazon ink, stamp the pot of sunflower stamp twice onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.

Using Rich Razzleberry ink stamp the ‘Especially for you‘ stamp from the Botanical Bliss stamp set (clear mount or wood mount) onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock. Color the image as desired. I used Daffodil Delight for the flowers, Crumb Cake for the flower centers, Pear Pizzazz for the leaves and Balmy Blue for the flower pot.

Cut out the greeting with the smallest oval shape from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. Use Dimensionals to adhere to the lower right front of the card.

Cut out one flower pot with the 2^nd smallest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. Use Dimensionals to adhere to the 3” Crushed Curry square.

Using your paper snips, cut out one set of flowers and the individual flower from the other stamped flower pot image. Use Dimensionals to adhere the group of flowers on top of the flowers in the flower pot to give the flowers added dimension. Snail the single flower onto the greeting, hanging over the edge a bit. See card photo for placement of all these pieces.

INSIDE:

Snail the remaining Rich Razzleberry piece onto the inside of the card.

Using Rich Razzleberry ink, stamp a filigree border from the Many Blessings stamp set on the upper left corner of the remaining Very Vanilla piece. Use Black Stazon to stamp the single flower within the curve of the filigree border. Color the flower as desired – I used Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz.

Use Rich Razzleberry to stamp your greeting. I used a greeting from the Special Celebrations stamp set (clear mount or wood mount). Snail the stamped piece to the inside of the card.

ENVELOPE:

Finish off your card by carrying over some of the design to the envelope. I repeated the filigree border and small flower used on the inside of the card for the lower left corner of the envelope.

I hope you’ll give this card a try. Try it with other color combinations to make it in your own style!
