Story of Elegance
Hello and Happy Friday!
I’m rounding out the week with another Layering Leaves card.
The sentiments in this stamp set are my absolute favorite. I don’t know what the font is, but I think it’s gorgeous.
Here’s the card I created:
This card is easy and elegant. A little stamping, a little layering and you’re done.
Elegance Made Easy
Following are the quick steps to recreate this card.
First, make your cuts:
- Real Red card stock – 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Basic Black card stock – 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
- Basic White card stock – 3 3/4″ 5″ and 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Die cuts:
- Cut the sentiment panel using Basic White card stock and the 2 3/8″ square die from the Stylish Shapes die set
- Punches
- None
Add the Basic Black panel to the Real Red panel and then 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 “.)
Randomly stamp leaves and spatter using Memento Black Ink on the smaller Basic White panel, and the sentiment onto the die cut square. Use Real Red ink to stamp a flower on the side of the sentiment.
Add Real Red sheer ribbon horizontally across the stamped panel and add it to the card front.
Adhere the sentiment die cut and bow to the card front; finish with Silver Festive Pearls.
For the inside, I stamped leaves across the bottom of the larger Basic White panel.
To complete the project, stamp flowers and spatter to the envelope front and flap to coordinate.
