I made these 4 cards pretty quickly using the Dahlia Days Stamp Set to create a beautiful background layer. They were easy to make and are bright and cheerful.
Watch the video to see how I stamped the background on a blank piece of 8 1/2 x 11 Basic White Cardstock, cut it down to 4 layers and then embossed 3 of them.
Basic Measurements & Tips
Card Bases - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 unless otherwise noted.
Basic White Cardstock - 8 1/2 x 11
Stamp flower and leaf images randomly on the cardstock. I used the Dahlia Days Stamp Set. Start with the largest image and then fill in with the smaller ones. I used the following colors:
Flowers - Sweet Sorbet, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo
Leaves - Parakeet Party, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent.
Cut 4 pieces each at 5 1/4 x 4.
Emboss the layers if you want.
Cut sentiment label from Basic White Cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies.
Sentiments are from the Dahlia Days and Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.
The first card uses Parakeet Party for the card base and the ink for the sentiment. I embossed the layer using the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder. Add the new Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon and an Iridescent Rhinestone.
On the inside stamp the dahlia with Sweet Sorbet Ink and the sentiment and leaves with Parakeet Party Ink
This card is a top folding card which means it was cut at 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2. The card base and ink are Evening Evergreen. The layer was embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I added a new In Color Opal Round.
I didn’t put a sentiment on the inside layer. Stamp the dahlia with Sweet Sorbet Ink and the greenery with Evening Evergreen Ink.
This card is made using Sweet Sorbet for the card base and the sentiment. I added an Iridescent Rhinestone and a bow tied with a piece of Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon.
Stamp the sentiment and dahlia with Sweet Sorbet Ink on the inside layer. Add Parakeet Party leaves.
The last card is another with Sweet Sorbet for the card base, sentiment background layer and sentiment ink. It was embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I colored 3 Iridescent Rhinestones using a Dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Marker.
On the inside layer stamp the sentiment and flower with Sweet Sorbet Ink and the small grouping of flowers with Melon Mambo Ink.
