The Project

The Details

Do you ever wait till the very last minute to make a card? I do. Lots. Sometimes I literally make one right before we head out the door.

While it is it not my favorite way to create – I much prefer to build up my stash – I have been known to do it a time or two.

That is what this stack of cards are all about. One amazing layout that is super quick and easy, yet beautiful enough to give away. All you need are the perfect stamps, like the ones I used from Unity.

The Steps

Here are the steps to recreate this card:

Start with a standard size A2 card (4.25″ x 5.5″) card in kraft cardstock.
Die cut a scallop rectangle in black cardstock and glue directly to the card front.
Stamp background stamp onto kraft cardstock with black in. Trim down so it fits inside the stitched portion of the scalloped black rectangle. Adhere to card with foam adhesive.
Stamp sentiment on strip of black cardstock with Versamark ink. Heat emboss with white embossing powder. Trim down to the same width as the floral panel of cardstock and pop up on the card using foam adhesive.
Add some glitter to the floral background using a clear Wink of Stella pen.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you are inspired by today’s project. If you create something, I’d love to see. Join us in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group to share your card and tag me.
