Hello Crafty Friends!
I've got a slimline card to share with you this week using the Planted Paradise stamp set from the 2024 Mini Catalog by Stampin' UP!. This card was made especially for a friend and neighbor's Birthday that has an affinity for gardening and all things plants.
My inspiration for the card came from this week's TGIF Challenge #467.
I'm a fan of this color combination because it's bright, cheery, and fun! It pairs very well with my friend.
Cardmaking Tips:
- Finished size: 8-1/2" x 3-1/2"
- Since the DSP is only available in 6"x6" size, you'll need to bring together 2 pieces of DSP with a little tape: 3-1/4" x 6" and 3-1/4" x 2-1/2"
- matt the DSP with 3-5/16" x 8-1/2 piece of white cardstock for a finished look on the DSP edges.
- cut 3 deckled circles from white cardstock and emboss 2 of them with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. The other will remain plain since you'll need to stamp directly onto the paper.
- The pots and plants on top and bottom of the card are stamped and fussy cut.
- For the center circle, the plants are stamped directly onto the white deckled circle. I did use some masking paper to help me layer the different plant images. The pot is fussy cut and popped up with dimensionals.
- Use the fine tip of your Blueberry Bushel Stampin' Write Marker to color the thorax of the Berry Burst butterflies. Create 3 of these (2 for the card front and 1 for the inside card).
- Carryover some of the same images from the card front to the inside of your card along with your birthday sentiment (from the Beach Day stamp set).
