Life Can Get Kinda Prickly
I used the Flowering Cactus product medley to make this card. It included everything I needed for these cards except card stock, adhesives, and ink. I think you will be amazed at all you can create with the product in the medley.
Card Base: Cut Mossy Meadow 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 Mossy Meadow paper 4 X 5 1/4
Card Front: Cut print paper 3 X 5 ¼. Attach this print paper ¼” from the left side of the card mat. Attach card front/mat to the card base.
From Whisper White cut the largest of the Stitched Nested Labels. Cut off one end of this label, so it is straight across. Stamp sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink across the bottom of the pointed edge of the white label.
Die cut the cactus pieces, using dies in the Medley. The cactus pieces are on the Designer Series paper included in the Medley. Attach the cactus pieces above the stamped sentiments with dimensionals. Attach a felt flower below the stamped sentiment, I used liquid glue. Wrap linen thread around the top of the label and knot. Attach decorated the label to the card front with dimensionals.
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.
