I
can’t say this is a fast card, but it’s really pretty. Sometimes you need a special birthday or
thank you card and this one has room for a gift card
and it stands up like an easel. I like
the summer look of fresh white. I think
if I do this for the holidays, I’d put on a few more layers of designer
paper.
I
stamp all the images first (Jar of Love set) and then cut them all out with
the big shot and play
with arranging them. Tip: for 2 step stamping look for the “arrow” on
the stamp to help you with lining it up for the second stamp.
I then stamp
the jar, the water and
the stamped bow, and the stems. Then I add flowers
with white glue and a few dimensions.
When I stamped I used the same ink but stamped off so I’d get a lighter
and then a darker color (with stamping off you always have more colors that you
first think!). Then I added in stems
with a marker. If I was clever I would haves stamped the stems first! If you have extra flowers why not put them
inside your card, or have one “falling” down next to your jar.
When
your front is finished adhere to a Mint Macaron piece. Score the base at 2 ¾
and 5 ½ fold it so the jar can “stand up” like an easel. Adhere the front jar piece to the base of the
card. Take the small mint piece and
punch part of the circle (to make it easy to retrieve the gift card) and with
Tear N Tape adhere to the inside front of the card (so it’s hidden til
it’s opened).
I
like that this card stands up like an easel and the gift card is a surprise
when you open the card.
There's an instruction sheet in the tab Ideas, Project and Free Things.
Happy Stamping!
