SUOC 252 Celebrating summer Fayres

Hello again everyone, and welcome to another project made for a challenge for the 

SUOC 252 this months theme is Celebrating Summer, and I have to say we're not having a bad summer ... so far... here in the UK.

The card I've made for this project is how I relate to summer, having all the fetes and summer fayres (in usual times though). So I thought let's still celebrate the times we usually have anyway and try and capture a bit of it in my card.

So let's get started...

Materials needed:

Whisper white thick cardstock

1pc - 5 1/2" x 11" score on longside @ 5 1/2" - card base

1pc - 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" for front card layer

1pc - 5 3/8" x 5 3/8" for inside of card

1pc - A4 length x 3" for the bunting

Scrap piece for the fern die cut

Daffodil delight cardstock

1pc - 5 3/8" x 5 3/8" for front card layer

1pc - approx 1 1/4" x 4 1/2" for die cutting letters

Granny apple green cardstock

1pc - approx 1" x 6 1/2" for the tiny bunting

Card recipe:

1. Cut , score and burnish yourcard base. Glue your whisper white piece into the inside of your card.

2. The whisper white piece for the front needs to be embossed through your embossing folder, the way I did it was by laying the card where I wanted the fern to go on the top of my card piece and only placing my plate over this piece so you only emboss this piece, then move it over to the otherside of the top piece and do the same. The pattern will show where you've tried to match it up, but this is where your die cut fern comes into place and hides it. Glue this piece to the daffodil delight piece, wrap some ribbon round it, stampyour sentiment onto it, and then glue this piece onto the front of your card.

3. Now you need to stamp your triangles onto your whisper white piece as in the picture below, and then carefully die cut your 8 bunting triangles out.

4. Die cut your tiny bunting from your granny apple green card piece . Now glue 2 of your stamped bunting triangles onto the reverse of each section of the tiny bunting, you will need to overlap them a tiny bit.

5. You can now carefully decide where your bunting is going to go, having already glued your fern piece into place, leaving sections not glued so that they can intertwine with your bunting, when you glue it into place.

6. Having cut your letters out, and if you wish so you can place the adhesive sheet on the back before you cut them, making it easier to glue them to the front of your card, but if you prefer you can adhere them using glue.

7. Tie a bow onto your ribbon.

8. Using the non brush end of your stampin' blend colour 3 x jewels in and when dry place onto your card front.

Hope you enjoyed this project I know I certainly had alot of fun making it. Thanks so much for popping onto my blog and having a look, if you'd like to leave a comment I'd really appreciate it.
