Stamping Bella: Thursday with Sandiebella - Build a Card Layers

Supplies:

White card
Patterned papers
Scalloped circle and circle dies
Selection of dies for decorating
Foam tape/dots
White twine

How To:

Stamp Tiny Town Garden Girl Chrysanthemum on white card and colour with your chosen medium.

Set the image aside.

Gather a selection of coordinating  design papers, and Dies for layering and decorating.

Cut:

Card base: white card – 5.75″ x 11.5″
Panel 1: white card – 5.5″ x 5.5″, patterned paper – 5 3/8″ x 5 3/8″
Panel 2: white card – 5″ x 5″, patterned apper 4 7/8″ x 4 7/8″

Panel 3: white card – 3.25″ x 5.5″, patterned paper 3 1/8″ x 5 3/8″

Fold the card base in half and crease well with a bone folder.

Assemble layer 1 and 2, and adhere them together. Adhere this to the card base.

Cut a selection of dies, includng scalloped and stitched circles to mat the image.

The tabbed border is slightly too short, so to fix this I cut them in half and glued them to the outside ends of each side of the 3.25″ x 5.5″ panel. The circle will cover the gap and it won’t be seen.

Assemble the tags.

Without using glue, arrange all the elements on the card until you are happy with them.

Take a picture for reference and work from that when sticking everything down.

Use foam tape when adherng the circles to the front of the card. Also use foam tape for the image for extra dimension and to allow for layering behind her.

Stamp the sentiment from Tiny Townie Blossom Loves Balloons onto some patterned paper and cut out using a penant die. Also cut the smallest Die from Happy Sentiment Word Dies in a contrasting colour. Arrange them on the front of the card as desired
