There’s been a lot of activity in my craft room over the past few days. I prepared my free April Mini Card Kits for Customers, studied the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog (which, by the way, is amazing), and made lots of lists that include inspiration from the new catalog, and new projects I plan to create. Along with all of this, I accomplished a lot of purging in my craft room to make space for the new. I was able to accomplish most of my “To Do” list, but didn’t get to much crafting.
I was so happy to finally ink up some stamps and cut some cardstock. Today’s card is the result. It’s simple, clean, and bright. The Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, and Mango Melody color combination gives this card a “happy” vibe.
Today’s Card Parts *& Pieces
- I cut a Crushed Curry cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 5 1/2″.
- The card front Basic White cardstock layer is 3 3/4″ x 5″.
- The Tea Boutique (Retiring) Designer Series Paper layer is 4 7/8″ x 3 5/8″.
- I stamped two flower images from the outline stamp from the Color & Contour Stamp Set (staying with us) using Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay ink. With the coordinating fill stamp, I stamped inside the flowers stamping off once very lightly.
- I stamped the leaf image with Granny Apple Green ink.
- The flowers are die cut with the coordinating Scalloped Contours Dies, and I fussy cut the leaf.
- The Bermuda Bay sentiment is stamped onto Basic White cardstock and die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. These Dies are retiring, but definitely not leaving my craft room. I’ve used them over. They’re a definite staple in my craft roon, so if you didn’t get them, now’s the time. They’re on the last chance list.
- I attached the flowers and sentiment layer to the card front with Dimensionals.
It’s always fun to add a little something to the inside of your card.
