Hello my crafty friends. Hope you were able to earn the Designer Series Paper Softly Stippled (see p. 8 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog). The colors and designs are beautiful, which calls for a card where the paper is the main event, and both sides of the paper! Of course, you already know that time is of the essence to earn this beautiful paper as Sale-A-Bration ends on February 29.
This is a portrait A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4" – and then (I know this is shocking) cut off 3 1/2" of the front panel (set this 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece aside for the sentiment build). Find your favorite sheet of the DSP and cut a panel measuring 4” x 5 1/2". Run a small strip of adhesive along the left side of the DSP and attach the DSP to the 3/4" panel. This will create the ability to show off both sides of this lovely paper.
The sentiment is also from a Sale-A-Bration stamp set – Heartfelt Hellos, inked in a coordinating color, and punched with the Handmade Tag punch. The sentiment is layered on a second punch of Handmade Tag punch in the scrap piece cut from the front flap of the card. You will need 2 of these punches, but to make it work takes a little effort with cutting up the tags in 2 pieces and layering.
RANDOM THOUGHTS: If you find that layering the multiple punches of the Handmade Tag is a little much, you could swap that out with a 2 3/8” circle punch that would fit nicely behind the Handmade Tag punch.
I (HEART): I love the ability to view both sides of the DSP with this card design. I hope you give it a try. And, love, love, love the tiniest brushed brass butterfly accent. Sweet. 😊
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope my project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.
Stamp On!!
