Hi, Stampers!
The moment I saw the REFLECTED IN NATURE stamp set I knew it would become a part of my stamp collection! I tried convincing myself I did not need this stamp set. I told myself the stamp set was not all that versatile. I was NOT buying the stamp set! Ha ha ha! I bought the stamp set, and I am happy I did. I used the REFLECTED IN NATURE stamp set to create today’s card. Let’s take a look at the card:
(The lighter / whiter areas on the card are actually not. I have no idea why the photo turned out as it did.)
The card is a “book binder” card, and it is so easy to create.
Here is a look at the inside of the card.
Here is a look at the stamp set.
I also used the BIRCH background stamp for this card. The sentiment is from TIMELESS TULIPS.
* Card base - Soft Suede cardstock cut at 11” x 4 1/4” scored at 4 1/4” and 5 1/2” and folded at 5 1/2”
* Basic White cardstock cut at about 6” x4 1/4”, one piece cut at 4 1/4” square (for inside), and a large scrap for the focal image and greeting.
* Soft Suede cardstock - large scrap.
* Ink - Soft Suede and Crumb Cake
* Blending brush or sponge dauber.
* Crumb Cake twine.
* Adhesive and dimensionals.
SCORING & FOLDING
(Click to enlarge.)
Fold the card base on the 5 1/2” score line. Open the card and on the “inside” put adhesive between the 4 1/4” score line and the 5 1/2” score line and close the card.
NOTE - If you want to add (wrap) ribbon to the left side of the card, you should do it prior to applying the adhesive and adhering the left side of the card base or you can use the method I use for the twine on this card.
ASSEMBLING THE CARD
* Stamp the BIRCH stamp on the 6” x 4 1/4” piece of Basic White with Soft Suede ink. (I used my STAMPARATUS). Go over this piece with Crumb Cake ink and a blending brush or sponge dauber. Cut the piece onto three pieces - 4” square, 4” x 1”, and 4” x 1/2”.
* Stamp the focal image on large scrap of Basic White with Soft Suede, and stamp the greeting on the scrap as well. Go over the image and greeting with the blending brush and Crumb Cake ink. Fussy cut around the focal image and adhere it to the large scrap of Soft Suede cardstock. Following the outline of the focal image fussy cut the Soft Suede mat. Do the same for the greeting.
* Use the blending brush and Crumb Cake ink to add color to the 4” square piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the sentiment and eagle image on the cardstock with Soft Suede ink. Adhere to inside of the card.
* Adhere the 4” x 1” and 4” square BIRCH background pieces to the front of the card. Place adhesive at the top and bottom of the back side of the 4” x 1/2” piece, and wrap the twine around the piece 3 times. Adhere this piece centered over the 4” x 1” piece on the left side of the card.
* place dimensionals on the back of the focal image and center it over the background panel on the right side of the card.
* Adhere the greeting centered on the left side of the focal image.
That is all for today. Thank you for stopping by. Until next time…
Stamp Happy!
