Hi everyone and welcome to another Craftalong Tuesday!
Over the last few days I've been having so much fun playing with the beautiful 'Sweet as a Peach' bundle and the very pretty dsp that goes with it, I'm really loving the softness of this set, the colours are exquisite and the patterns on the papers are just so great to create with, I think you're going to love them as much as I do!
The card I've created for todays project also incorporates the 'Basic Borders' dies which are a great set of dies to have in your stash, and the '3D Macrame' embossing folder. So let's get started with the card..................
Materials needed:
Basic white thick cardstock
1 piece 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" scored on the longside at 4 1/8" - cardbase
Scrap pieces for stamping and die cutting 3 x peaches/leaves and 1 x sentiment
1 piece 2 3/8" x 3 7/8" for the inside of card stamped layer
Pale Papaya cardstock
1 piece 2 1/4" x 5 7/8" for the front of card embossed layer
Pear Pizzazz cardstock
1 piece approx 1" x 5 7/8" for the front of card die cut layer
Calypso Coral cardstock
Small scrap piece for the sentiment layer
You're a Peach dsp
1 piece approx 2 7/8" x 5 7/8" for front of card die cut layer
1 piece 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" for the inside of card layer
Pale Papaya ribbon
2 pieces approx 3" for the front of card - these are folded in half
2021-2023 In color jewels
3 for front of card
Card Instructions
1. Fold and burnish the cardbase.
2. Glue the inside dsp layer, and the embossed front of card layer on to the card base.
3. Using the scallop edged border die cut one of the edges on both of the card and dsp piece for the front of the card layers. Glue them both together leaving a small piece of the cardstock showing at the bottom.
4. Glue the embossed front of card piece to the bottom of the card base.
5. Glue the dsp/cardstock section onto the top section of the front of card, but leave the die cut edges unglued as this makes it look like it's got more body to it.
6. Stamp the peach images onto the scrap card using Pale Papaya ink and then use Calypso Coral ink 2nd generation over the top, and then die cut them out.
7. Stamp the leaves using Pear Pizzazz ink and die cut these out too.
8. Glue the leaves to the reverse side of the peaches and attach to the front of the card using dimensionals. Tuck the ribbon pieces folded in half, under the peaches and attach using glue dots.
9. Stamp the sentiment using Calypso Coral ink and die cut this and the Calypso Coral card piece out using the small banner die in the bundle. Cut the Calypso Coral one in half and then glue these pieces to the reverse side of the sentiment giving a small border showing along both of the long edges.
10. Attach the sentiment to the card front using dimensionals and add 3 jewels.
11. Stamp the inside layer using the flower images, Pear Pizzazz ink for the leaves and stem image 1st generation ink and Calypso Coral ink for the flowers 2nd generation ink. For the flower centres use 1st generation ink.
12. Glue the inside of card layer in to place and the card is finished.
Hope you enjoyed todays project, I loved the way the border die gives the card the effect of being the front of a clutch bag or purse and the Macrame 3D EF really gives a lovely pattern to finish the card off. Thankyou so much for popping on and having a look at my blog I really do appreciate it.
Take care until next time
