Hello everyone, todays card is from the stampin’ up mini catalog. I was feeling like I needed a little coolness as right now it’s a warm 92 degrees. I made a small error on this card. I used DSP, designer series paper we no longer sell. But you could use paper from the “storybook gnomes” or “splendid day” paper pack. You could even make your own background paper using basic white, a blending brush and a dark blue, light blue ink. I’m so sorry for the mistake. But it gives you an idea of what you could do with this bundle. Okay lets get on to what you will need to make this simple card.
Here is what you will need…
Perched in a Tree bundle #159799 ,from the mini catalog
Deckled rectangles #159173, for label
Basic white cad stock #159276
Smoky slate ink #147113
Balmy Blue ink #147105
Stampin’ blends markers…
Balmy blue #154830
Crumb cake #154882
Wink of stella #141897
Paper trimmer #152392
Stamp blocks H #118490 and C #118486
Stampin’ cut & emboss machine #149653
Stampin’ dimensionals minis #144108
Any DSP (designer series paper) for background
Opal rounds #154289
Multipurpose liquid glue #110755
Let’s get to work. Take a piece of basic white card stock, 8 1/2 x 11, and cut it at 5 1/2 on the 11” side. Score it at 4 1/4. This will be your card base, set aside for now. Cut the other half of the white card stock to 4x 5 1/4. Then with the trees outline die from the bundle place the die in the middle of the white and run it through your die cutting machine. Cut you DSP just slightly smaller than the white piece you just cut out. Take your mini dimensionals and adhere them around the outside of the cut out tree piece and a few on some of the branches. Remove the backings from your dimensionals and very carefully lay it on the DSP paper. After you do that adhere it to the front of your card. Now with whats left over from the white card stock stamp the bird and branch with the smoky slate ink. Color the bird then cut both pieces out on the cutting machine using the coordinating dies. With the glue adhere the branch across the other branches about 2/3 of the way down. Now place a few dimensionals behind the bird trying to place them where the tree branches are, adhere the bird on the branch close to the left side. Now using the smallest deckled rectangle and hopefully you have a small piece of white left, cut out your banner. With the Balmy blue ink and a sponge dauber or what ever you’d like ink the edges of your banner. Then choose a sentiment to fit your banner and stamp it with smoky slate ink. Glue the banner to your card. Take your wink of stella and use some on the edges of the branches to make it look frosty. Then place you opal rounds on your card. All done! You might want do a little stamping on your envelope to give your recipient a sneak peek of whats inside. I hope you enjoy making this simple card.
