POSTED FOR YOU — Just A Note


Hi, Friends,

I am sharing a card with you today that I made to send out with the August -- December 2020 Mini Catalogs.  Since I have only posted one, here is the second card.  I used the Posted for You stamp set and Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch for this card.

Here is a picture:

Close-up of the stamped images:


I stamped the birds and branches stamp using Night of Navy ink, then colored with the Old Olive, Soft Suede, and Night of Navy blends.  

The inside of the card looks like this:


I stamped the image again on the lower right corner of the inside panel and colored it using the blends.  

HOW I MADE THE CARD:

1.  Use a scoreboard to score the card base at 4-1/4.  Fold the card base, use a bone folder to burnish the fold.

2.  Stamp signature stamp on back of card base using Night of Navy ink.

3.  Use Night of Navy ink to stamp image on lower right corner of inside panel.  Color using blends.

4.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

5.  Use Big Shot and Subtles Embossing Folder to emboss the Whisper White cardstock.  Stamp sentiment on lower right corner of Whisper White cardstock.  

6.  Adhere Boho Indigo DSP to top of Whisper White embossed cardstock.  Adhere to Old Olive cardstock.  

7.  Adhere Denim ribbon at seam.  Wrap ribbon with Linen Thread and tie in a knot.

8.  Adhere panel to front of card base.  

9.  Stamp image on the three 1-3/16 x 1-15/16 Whisper White cardstock pieces.  Color using blends.  Adhere to three Old Olive "postage stamp" pieces.  Adhere to front of card base using dimensionals.

10.  Add dimensionals to either side of the sentiment (see sample for placement).


I hope you enjoyed this project!  I will share project number three very soon!

Happy stamping,
Linda
