Don’t forget that the Designer Paper sale is still in full swing through the end of June! You can view all of the papers on sale right here. Now’s the perfect time to purchase the Countryside Inn DSP used for this card, or any of the other lovely papers that are on sale.
For this card, I combined the images and die cuts from the Earthen Elegance bundle with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I also added a few touches of Distressed Gold specialty paper for a special touch. While I made this a thank-you card, you could leave it blank for a note card or use sentiments to make it fit for any occasion.
Here are the steps to making this card:
- The card base is Basic White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
- Adhere a layer of Boho Blue cardstock which measures 5 3/8″ x 3 7/8″
- The second layer is a piece of Night of Navy cardstock measuring 5 1/4″ x 3 3/4″
- The next layer is a piece of Countryside Inn DSP measuring 5″ x 3 1/2″
Now you are ready to build the design!
- Using the large vase die, crop a vase from a piece of Countryside Inn DSP.
- Using Boho Blue ink, stamp the small vase image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with the small vase die.
- Crop another small vase from a different piece of Countryside Inn DSP.
- Using Boho Blue ink, stamp the small leaves spray image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with the corresponding die.
- Crop two “palm branches” from Night of Navy cardstock.
- Use scraps of Distressed Gold Specialty paper to crop the jar top and two twig sprays.
- Refer to the photo for placement of all the stamped and cropped images and glue in place. Note — the only one I adhered with dimensionals is the stamped Boho Blue vase.
- If desired, stamp the greeting using Night of Navy ink onto a 3/8″ wide strip of Basic White cardstock, trim the ends as desired and adhere to the card front with mini-dimensionals
For the inside:
- Adhere a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Boho Blue cardstock to the inside of the card.
- Use Night of Navy ink to stamp a sentiment onto a 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock.
- Decorate the lower left corner as desired by stamping a couple of the sprigs images using Boho Blue ink and Night of Navy ink.
- Place a 1/4″ strip of Distressed Gold Specialty paper at the bottom of the Basic White piece, cover the ends of the stamped sprigs, then adhere the finished piece to the inside of the card
Envelope:
- Stamp one of the sprig images to the lower left corner of the envelope using Night of Navy ink.
