Hello all,
Welcome to our Seashore Stamper's Monthly Blog Hop. This month we're celebrating all things green or St Patrick's Day. Towards the end of last year, I joined a Stampin' Up! Facebook group called #imbringingbirthdaysback. There, demonstrators share their birthdays and send each other cards. You can send as many, or as few, as you want. My personal mission is to send a birthday card a day during 2020, so that's 365 cards this year! So far, so good. (But we're only 2 months in.) I decided to create a green coloured card which can be added to my growing collection of birthday cards. Many thanks to my friend, Erica, for the inspiration.
The base is from the Soft Sea Foam Cardstock and measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4" (when in landscape). The next layer is Garden Green Cardstock and measures 4" x 5 1/4". Cut 2 pieces of different DSPs measuring 2 1/2" x 3 3/4". Then, in landscape, cut the 2 pieces in half. Each piece should now measure 1 7/8" x 2 1/2". You'll also need a small piece of Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White Cardstock.
Layout the DSP in the pattern you want. Mark the DSP at 1 1/8" above and below the centre of the card. Then make a mark at 1/2" on the bits to the left and right of the middle. Score diagonally, across each inside corner of each DSP piece from the 1 1/8" mark to the 1/2" mark, fold them back and burnish. Using a Stampin' Dimensional, pin back each corner. Attach them to the Garden Green piece, creating a diagonal square in the centre of the card. I used the Multi Purpose Liquid Glue for this as it gives you a moment to tweak your DSP if it isn't quite straight.
Stamp the small flower stamp, stamp in your Soft Sea Foam Classic Stampin' Pad on Whisper White. Then stamp the greeting in your Garden Green Classic Stampin' Pad. I used the 2nd smallest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut this out. With your 2 1/4" Circe Punch, punch out a circle from a scrap of Soft Sea Foam. Attach your greeting to the Soft Sea Foam circle with your Snail Adhesive or the liquid glue. Using Dimensionals attach this to the centre of your card. And, just like that, you're done. Another fabulous card for you!
