For today’s card I used one of our new stencil sets – the Foursquare Decorative Masks along with the Layering Leaves stamp set, Bough punch and the Designer Tags die set.
Combining these products, here is the card I created:
Elegance Made Easy
Following are the quick steps to recreate this card.
First, make your cuts:
- Silver Foil – 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″
- Pebbled Path card stock – 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″
- Basic White card stock – 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ and 4″ x 5/14″
- Die cuts:
- Stamp the sentiment onto a scrap piece of Basic White card stock in Moody Mauve ink, and die cut using the tag die from the Designer Tags die set
- Punches
- Stamp the leaves using the stamp from the Layering Leaves stamp set and Pebbled Path ink and punch two leaf sets using the Bough Punch and one small flower using Moody Mauve card stock
Add the foil panel to the front of an A2 card base made with Thick Basic White card stock. (Note: An A2 card base is made by cutting an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Thick card stock in half on the long side. Score the 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ (half sheet) of card stock at 4 1/4 “.)
Use Pebbled Path ink and a mask from the Foursquare Decorative masks to blend a design onto the smaller Basic White panel.
Adhere the inked panel to the Pebbled Path panel and then to the card front.
Arrange the die cut leaves and add to the card front.
Use Foam Adhesive Sheet cut to fit to adhere the die cut sentiment to the card front.
Finish by adding a bow made with Simply Elegant Trim and Silver Festive Pearls.
For the inside, I stamped leaves in Pebbled Path ink onto the larger Basic White Panel.
To complete the project, use the mask and Pebbled Path ink onto the envelope front and flap to coordinate.
Finding Your Creative Elegance
In the end, the beauty of paper crafting lies in its ability to connect us with our own creativity and with others. It’s a chance to slow down, unplug, and create something beautiful and meaningful with our own two hands. So why not give it a try today? You never know where your creativity might take you.
