Beauty of the Earth Celebrate card |
|
T he pretty paper has two blues in the print. I used the darker blue for the card base and the lighter blue to mat the print for the card front. I am making these cards for retirement cards. It would also be a great birthday card.
Card Base: Cut Night of Navy 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 Basic White paper 4 X 5 ¼. Emboss to the right side of the card mat with a Greenery embossing folder.
Card Front: Cut Misty Moonlight paper 2 1/8 X 5 ⅛, cut print 2 X 5 ¼. Attach print paper to Misty Moonlight paper. Attach these papers even with the left side of the white card mat. Attach these papers to Night of Navy card base.
Die cut the open circle from Painted Labels dies (see picture for reference) from Night of Navy paper. Die cut a white circle with the layering circle dies, I chose a die that fit just inside the stitching of the Night of Navy open circle.
Stamp sentiment with Night of Navy ink on white circle. Attach white circle to Night of Navy open circle. Attach these circle to card front with Stampin dimensionals.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Basic White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
