Inked Botanicals Gratitude card |
|
D o you struggle with 6X6 papers when making cards? This card uses a 6X6 paper and a 5 1/2 card base. I CASED the card from Jackie Bolhous (Klompen Stampers), it is a great way to use those 6X6 papers.
Supplies needed:
Project Recipe:
-
Card Base: Cut Lost Lagoon 5 ½ X 5 ½, Score at 4 1/4. Fold on the score line.
-
Card Front: Begin with 6X6 paper. [See cutting directions in photo.] Cut ¾ from bottom of paper. Note: if your paper has a definite up & down pattern, you are cutting ¾ from the BOTTOM of your paper. Check both sides of your paper before cutting, you will see the backside of your paper when you open the card. Cut TWO 1 X 5 ¼ strips, the remaining paper should now measure 4 X 5 ¼.
-
Card Insert: For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Basic White 4 X 5 ¼. Attach a 1 X 5 ¼ strip to the right side of your card insert. I used the front side of my paper.
-
Attach a 1 X 5 ¼ strip to the card base on the folded over side of the card base. I attached the back of the print paper I chose to use.
-
Center the card insert on the inside of the folded card base with the print paper to the right side. Attach the card insert to the card base.
-
Lay the 4 X 5 ¼ over the card insert so that it covers the card insert. Attach adhesive to the far left side of the paper.
-
Close the card front side piece so that it catches the adhesive on the card front.
-
Wrap linen thread around the card front three times and knot/bow.
Die cut a Basic white 1 ⅝ circle from Stylish Shapes Die set. Stamp sentiment from Circle Sayings stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink. Punch a 2” circle from Basic Vellum. Attach the stamped circle to the Vellum circle with dimensionals. Attach both circles to the card front.
-
Envelope Flap: Cut print paper 2 ¼ X 6. Glue the print paper to the envelope flap and trim using the flap as a guide.
