I love how this card turned out. It’s the best feeling when you finish making a card and you just have to smile. That’s what happened after I finished making this, the 9th card in my 40 Cards in 40 Days. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Petal Park stamp set, the Regency Park Designer Series Paper and the Adhesive-backed Milky Dots to make this stunning card.
One of the things I really like about this card are the colors: Shaded Spruce and Mango Melody. It’s been a while since I’ve used either of them., and I’m not sure I’ve ever used them together. With their designer papers, Stampin’ Up! provides us with color combinations we may not have chosen for ourselves.
This card is actually a fun fold card as you can see in the second photo. The front of the card is cut short and then a focal point is added. The card base is Basic White but as usual, I thought the card needed another layer so I cut down the card base and adhered it a 5 ½” x 4 ¼” piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock.
To give the flowers some dimension I adhered them with different adhesives. The mid-size flower is adhered to the cardstock with Stampin’ Seal adhesive. On the large flower I used Mini Glue Dots which popped it up just a tiny bit and the I used a Stampin’ Dimensional on the small flower. I also bent up the petals of the flowers for dimension.
When putting this card together my tip to you is to put the Basic White piece on the inside first. Then you adhere the floral focal point of the card to front. This way you can be sure to cover the inside piece.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about today’s card. Please leave a comment and let me know. Have a great day. Take care and Happy Stamping!
