Card Tutorial
- Cut, score, and fold the card base.
- Emboss the two (2) Basic White layers. Then, adhere one to the bottom edge of the card front. Adhere the Old Olive strip behind the other embossed layer and adhere to the bottom edge inside the card, as pictured.
- Center and adhere the DSP to the card front overlapping a bit of the embossed layer.
- Die cut several flowers and stems from scrap paper using the Cottage Flowers Dies.
- Add Pale Papaya to the flowers using a Blending Brush. Then, layer the flowers.
- Add Old Olive to the stems using a Blending Brush.
- Use Basic Gray to stamp the sentiment. Then, adhere the flowers and stems, as shown.
- Wrap Linen Thread around the image layer and tie a decorative bow.
- Adhere the image layer to the card front using dimensionals.
- Use Pale Papaya ink to stamp the large flower on Pale Papaya cardstock for the box.
- Fold and prep the score lines for the tissue box.
- Use the Double Oval Punch to punch out a scallop and plain oval from scrap paper. These can be used as a guide for placement to determine the opening of the tissue box.
- Use the scrap scallop oval for placement on the Pale Papaya tissue box. When satisfied with placement, punch the scallop oval.
- Use the scrap plain oval for placement on the Pale Papaya cardstock for the inner layer of the tissue box. When satisfied with placement, punch the plain oval. Adhere under the scallop opening of the tissue box.
- Stamp the flower in Pale Papaya on a scrap of Basic White. Punch out a plain oval from the stamped image. Then, center the scalloped oval around the plain oval opening and punch out a border. Adhere this piece on top of the tissue box to frame the opening.
- Fold and adhere the box together. Then, adhere the box inside the card by placing adhesive on the bottom and back of the box, as pictured.
- In Pale Papaya, stamp the Basic White strip for the tabs to keep the card closed. Adhere the strip to the back of the card and wrap around to the front. Cut a banner tail on each end and tuck under the image layer.
- In Early Espresso, stamp the inside sentiment on scrap paper. Then, use the Label Me Fancy Punch to punch it out and adhere to the inside cover.
- Finish by adding Kleenex inside the tissue box. Further embellish the inside of the card by adding a blended flower and leaves.
