Today I picked a cute and adorable card to share with you.  I don’t tend to do cards like this, but I’m trying to enhance my creativity and work outside my normal zone.  I hope you like this.

Cutting & Scoring:

• Cardstock Base in Thick Basic White - 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score and fold at 4 ¼”

• Layer One in Basic White – 5 ¼” x 4”

• Scrap piece of Basic White large enough for layering rectangle die

• Scrap piece of Sand and Sea Designer Series Paper large enough for layer rectangle die

 

Instructions:

• Cut and score card base making sure to burnish the fold line

• On Layer One stamp the bundle of leaves and flowers in Seaside Spray on the left and right of layer

• Stamp the sentiment in Melon Mambo on the bottom right corner of Layer One

• Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss cut out two rectangles (5th one in from the smallest one) one in Basic White and one in Sand in Sea Designer Series Paper to die cut two of rectangle dies

• Wrap the Linen Thread three times around the middle of Layer one before adhering to card base

• Tilt the designer series paper on the so that the bundle of leaves and flowers are showing before adhering down
