Two of my favorite bundles are Earthen Textures and Cheerful Daisies. Each of these sets is gorgeous and fun to work with, but I decided to combine elements from both sets to create this design. I also love the look of the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder as the background for the flowers and vases.
If you’d like to recreate this card, here are the simple directions:
- The card base is Misty Moonlight, cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
- Emboss a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder, then adhere it to a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. This will add a nice white frame around the embossed piece as well as give it a bit more strength. Adhere to the card base.
- For the vases, using dies from the Earthen Textures bundle, crop a large and small vase from scraps of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. Use the small handled die to crop a different scrap of Countryside Inn DSP.
- Crop three bunches of stems from Misty Moonlight cardstock.
- Crop the little open-work shelf from a scrap of Night of Navy cardstock.
- Stamp the small flower cluster, one medium daisy outline, two half daisy outlines and the flower centers from the Cheerful Daisies bundle using Blueberry Bushel ink. Use Balmy Blue ink and the solid flower stamps to apply color to the daisy outlines. Crop all flowers with the corresponding dies.
(Refer to the photo for placement of all cropped pieces.)
- To build the design, glue the tall vase and the three bunches of stems to the left side of the card front.
- Attach the small vase to the card front with dimensionals. Make sure you leave enough room for the flowers and shelf that go on the right side of the card. Attach the medium daisy and one half-daisy above the small vase using dimensionals. Adhere the second half-daisy with glue, sliding it slightly under the other two daisies.
- Glue the open-work shelf to the card front.
- Glue the handled short vase and the bunch of small flowers to the card front above the shelf.
- Stamp the greeting from the Go To Greetings stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Blueberry Bushel ink and crop with the small flag die from the Nested Essentials die set. Attach to the card front with dimensionals.
- For the envelope, stamp the small flower cluster to the lower left corner of the envelope using Blueberry Bushel ink.
