Today I have a beautiful project idea for you to try. What makes this card unusual is that there is no stamping involved at all! Which means no ink either.
This card idea is very adaptable too - you can change out the paper, embossing folder and colors to match your own unique style. Here are the basics for making this card:
Paper and cutting dimensions:
Soft Sea Foam [146988] - 5 ½ x 8 ½ (score on long side at 4 ¼), scrap for leaves
Basic White [159276] 4 x 5 ¼
Splendid Day DSP [159666] 1 ½ x 5 ¼ and 1 ½ x 2 ½ for “vase”
Calypso Coral 122925] ½ x 5 ¼, scrap for leaves
Sahara Sand [121043] scrap for leaves
Ink: None!
Stampin' Blends: Calypso Coral Dark [154881]
Misc: Paper Trimmer [152392]; Paper Snips [103579]; Multipurpose Glue [110755]; Mini Glue Dots [103683]; Bone Folder [102300]; Stampin' Seal [152813]; Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine [149653]; Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder [156505]; Rhinestone Basic Jewels [144220]; Linen Thread [104199]; Splendid Stems Dies [159676]
Instructions
1. Emboss white panel with Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and attach to Soft Sea Foam card base.
2. Adhere strip of Calypso Coral CS under the right edge of the DSP strip. Adhere to left side of Basic White panel leaving about 1/4” of white showing.
3. Cut one set of leaves each from Sahara Sand, Calypso Coral, and Soft Sea Foam scraps. Adhere these to the front of the card using glue.
4. Cut the half oval shape from the small piece of DSP. Wrap with linen thread, using glue dots to secure as needed, attaching thread ends to the back. Tie a small bow from linen thread and attach to the vase with a glue dot. Place vase over leaves stems on card using Dimensionals.
5. Color rhinestones with Dark Calypso Coral Blends and attach to card.
