ABOUT MY CARD

I wanted to use this week’s 3 colours for a triptych style of card and the Leaf Collection background stamp seemed like the perfect choice. To make sure the design flows across the card I actually stamped 3 full pieces of Basic White card measuring 9.5 x 13 cm. I used a stamping platform to make sure that when I stamped each colour on the white card they were stamped in the same position. Then I stacked the 3 pieces of card in my paper trimmer and cut the long side to 4.25 cm, three times. This leaves just a tiny excess piece that you can discard.

This also means that I have enough stamped pieces to make 2 more cards.

I adhered the 3 stamped panels to a piece of Basic White card measuring 10 x 14 cm and then embossed it all with the Fern 3D folder.

The Just A Note stamp is from Simply Said. I used Lost Lagoon ink and used a die from Unbounded Love to cut it. I also used the same die to cut the frame from Crumb Cake card.

Before adding the panel to my Crumb Cake card base (21 x 14.5cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm) I added ribbon and tied it in a bow. Then I added the sentiment piece with dimensionals…

.

Finally, I added a rhinestones. I like the end result and hope you do too.
