Hi,
Thank you for stopping by today. Here are the cards we will be making in today’s class:
This class features the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! This patterned paper is in the January – April 2024 Mini Catalogue. All supplies are listed below and can be ordered through my online store.
Card 1 – Joy
The layout for this card was inspired by the January 2024 SheetLoad of Cards by Call me Crafty Al – you can find her sketch, supply list and video at https://www.youtube.com/callmecraftyal. I adapted her sketch to fit a metric card base that we use in Australia.
Measurements:
Thick Basic White card base: A5 (14.8cm x 21cm) scored and folded to 14.8cm x 10.5cm
Crumb Cake: 14.3cm x 10cm
Basic White: 12.8cm x 8.5cm, scraps
DSP: 12.3cm x 8cm.
Supplies:
Stamps: Heartfelt Hexagon
Embossing Folder: Softly Sophisticated
Punch: Heartfelt Hexagon
Ink: Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock
Cardstock/Paper: Thick Basic White, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Perennial Lavender 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (DSP)
Embellishments: Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems, Paper Butterfly Accents
Instructions:
- Emboss the Crumb Cake panel with the Softly Sophisticated 3D embossing folder. Using a brayer, lightly apply Crumb Cake ink to the raised areas of the embossed panel. Adhere to the card base.
- Cut the DSP (Designer Series Paper) in half lengthwise so you have 2 strips that are 4cm wide. Cut 4cm off the top of each strip. Flip over one of the square pieces and one of the rectangular pieces to show the other side of the paper. Sponge the edges with Pretty Peacock ink using a sponge dauber. Glue to the white panel leaving a white border. Glue an offcut strip of Basic White across the join where the 4 patterned paper pieces meet. Trim the ends to size. Adhere to the card front as shown.
- Stamp the greeting onto a scrap of Basic White in Pretty Peacock ink and punch with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. Sponge the edges of the punched-out shape with the same colour ink. Attach to the card front with Dimensionals. Add a few Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems for bling.
- Lightly sponge one of the Paper Butterfly Accents with the same ink and glue to the card front.
