With two daughters, I often find myself being asked to make cards for their friends. This time it was one for Kat.
The design brief was simple – “just sparkly and florals”.
Thank goodness we have so many gorgeous floral designs across the different Designer Series Papers. For this card I used a design from the Harvest Meadow 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper bundle. I love the simplicity of the Misty Moonlight and Basic White design.
I took a length the white Faux Linen Ribbon, from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and gently teased out a couple of threads and gathered up the ribbon to create this ruched effect. The ribbon was stuck down using Mini Glue Dots and each end was secured, on the underside of the DSP, with Tear & Tape. Then the DSP was adhered to the Misty Moonlight cardbase.
I think my favourite greeting stamp set at the moment is the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. It’s great to mix and match the two different size fonts. The birthday greeting was stamped and then cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
I attached some Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of some cardstock and cut Kat’s name out using the Playful Alphabet Dies.
I cut a long thin strip of the DSP and added it to the card insert and envelope.
Florals – tick! Sparkly – I added lots of Artistry Blooms Sequins to the card front – tick!
The card has quite a basic layout but just by choosing gorgeous paper, adding ruched ribbon and embellishments it can be transformed into a lovely card.
Until next time, happy stamping.
