Double Layer Hydrangea card

The Hydrangea Hill paper pack is so so so pretty. I wanted to put more emphasis on the hydrangeas, so I added a second row.

Card Base: Cut Gorgeous Grape 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.

Card Mat: Cut Old Olive paper 4 X 5 1/4

Card Front: Cut the Hydrangea Hill paper that has a row of hydrangeas on each end with light blue in between the rows of hydrangeas 3 7/8 X 5 ⅛. Measure from the bottom so you have hydrangea at the bottom of the card front and blue above to top of the card front.

Die cut the small tag from the Hydrangea Dies from white paper. Stamp sentiment on tape with Gorgeous Grape ink. Cut 5” of white baker’s twine from Snail Mail Baker’s Twine and insert twine in small tag. Knot twine at the top.

Attach the card front to the Old Olive card mat. Cut 16” of Gorgeous Grape sheer ribbon, wrap around the card mat/card front and tie a bow. Attach tag to bow between the first knot and the bow. Attach card front/card mat to the Gorgeous Grape card base.

Cut another piece of this paper that has the same hydrangea as your card front, fussy cut (cut closely) around the hydrangeas. Attach this fussy cut piece directly over the hydrangea on card front with Stampin Dimensionals. Add some glimmer to card front with Wink of Stella.

That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Whisper White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
