Needing some inspiration, I decided to go to the Annual Catalog. My card is a CASE of a card pictured on page 34. I’ve always loved the blue and yellow color combination. The inspiration card was done using Balmy Blue cardstock with accents of Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight, so I was naturally drawm to it.
I switched the base color to Night of Navy. My card is not as embellished as the card in the Catalog. Stampin’ Up!’s Design Team used one of the stamps from the Citrus Blooms Stamp Set, and Night of Navy ink to create a stamped background. I kept mine simple. If you are duplicating this design, you could use Night of Navy cardstock, stmap one of the smaller images from the Citrus Blooms Stamp Set on the corners, and emboss with white embossing powder. (I thought of this as I’m writing this post)!
So, are you ready to make a card? Let’s do it!
Pieces & Parets
I used all of the products from the Mediterranean Blooms Suite to complete this card. Have fun creating your unique version.
- The Night of Navy cardstock card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
- I die cut the large leaf frame using Basic White cardstock.
- I die cut the leaf embellishments using Lemon Lolly, GrannyApple Green, and Daffodil Delight cardstock.
- The patterned paper card front strip is 3/4″ x 3 1/4″. I hand cut a banner edge on each side.
- The “hello” sentiment circle is about 1 3/8″ in Diameter.
- The Lemon Lolly cardstock sentiment strip is about 1/2″ x 2 1/2″. I cut the sentiment using one of the dies from the Iconic Imagery Dies.
- I die cut the large inside writing layer using the large die from the Citrus Blooms Dies.
Let’s Put It All Together
- Attach the leaf frame to the center of the card front.
- Adhere the patterned paper banner strip to the center of the inside of the frame.
- Adhere the die cut leaf embellishments as shown.
- I attached the sentiment circle using Dimensionals.
- The Lemon Lolly sentiment strip is attached to the circle using glue.
So, try this design using a differend color combination. Possibly, one of the new In Colors using the coordinating 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Top it off with a different sentiment. The detailed frame will give any design you choose that “Wow” factor, I promse.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
