Category: FLORAL CHARM

Today I want to share a custom 6″x 6″ birthday card and envelope.

It is made up of a number of layers, each featuring a different technique.

The Old Olive card base had a Floral Charm DSP panel adhered to it.

The next three layers have been die cut, dry embossed and Blends coloured embellishments.

The Basic White panel was die cut, using one of the Beautiful Motif Dies, in opposite corners to create a ‘holder’ for the dry embossed panel.

TIP: Take your time to position the dies so that you can achieve even outer borders.

TIP: When adhering the white panel to the card base pop a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional under the cut area to help lift it up.

Then I took a panel of Rich Razzleberry card and embossed it with the Damask Designs Emobossing Folder.

TIP: You can give the card a light water spritz to help enhance the embossed texture.

After adding some Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the emvossed card, I positioned the panel on the card front ensuring it was ‘held’ in place with the die cut holders.

For the final layer, I took a panel of Basic White card and stamped the greeting.

TIP: If you don’t have the embellishments in the colour you want, you can use a Stampin’ Blends pen. The Blends pens are alcohol base and are perfect to customise embellishments to coordinate with your project.

TIP: As I have shared before, applying the ‘rule of 3’ is a great guide for aesthetically pleasing design.

Then I needed to create a custom envelope for the card.

I used the same DSP to finish the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
