To A Wild Rose Hello Card

For today's card I went digging through my pattern paper pads from my pre-Stampin' Up! days. So the DSP I used is not Stampin' Up unfortunately, but I loved how this card turned out and I still wanted to show case this design.

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11"sheet of White cardstock

1 - 3 3/4"x 3 3/4" piece of DSP

1 - 3 3/4"x 1 1/2" piece of DSP

1 - 3"x 2 3/4" piece of White cardstock

1 - 4 1/4"x 1 1/4" piece of Yellow cardstock

To A Wild Rose stamp set

Ornate Border Dies

Memento Black ink

Crumb Cake Blends

Corner Rounder Punch

Stamparatus

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

 

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of White cardstock and cut it down to 4 1/4"x11" and score it at 5 1/2" along the long side.

I started by rounding the top two corners of the 3"x 2 3/4" piece of White cardstock. I used the Stamparatus to stamp the rose and sentiment from the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I like using the Stamparatus because if I am not happy with the stamped image I can re-ink and stamp again without having to line up the images. I then took out my Crumb Cake blends, I started with the dark blend and just briefly drew lines along some of the lines of the stamped image. Just make sure where ever you place the dark blend lines they are places where there might be natural shadows. I then took the light blend and colored in the image making sure to blend out the dark lines so they weren't harsh lines.

I then adhered that piece to the 3 3/4" square piece of DSP. I lined it up along the bottom edge of the DSP leaving about an 1/8" from the right side. I then adhered that piece to the front of the card centering on the front of the card but lining it up to the top of the card.

I then took the 4 1/4"x 1 1/2" piece of yellow cardstock and using one of the border dies from the Ornate Border Dies set I lined up the die to the edge of the cardstock and I used washi tape to hold the die in place. I then ran it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. I then adhered that piece to the front of the card making sure that none of the card base could be seen though the holes in the middle of the edge.

I then took the last piece of DSP and rounded the bottom corners. I then adhered that piece over top of the yellow cardstock with the edge making sure I lined it up with the other piece of DSP as best as I could.

Step It Up

If you don't have a border die you could use a border punch or change it out all together for a piece of ribbon.

I chose to stamp the flower but you could always use a die cut or fussy cut flowers from coordinating DSP.
