EDEN’S GARDEN SENDING HUGS!

 Hi, Friends,

Today I am sharing a card we made at November, 2021 Play Day!  It uses the stamp set Eden’s Garden and some promotional Designer Series Paper (Ever Eden DSP) that I wish had carried over to the new January - June Mini Catalog because it is so drop-dead gorgeous!  It is a simple card, which is always good, but also is a card you can use for lots and lots of occasions.  The sentiment simply says “SENDING HUGS”.  Here is a picture:


HERE IS MY RECIPE FOR THE CARD:

     STAMPS:  Eden’s Garden

     CARDSTOCK:

          Soft Succulent:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

          Evening Evergreen:  4 x 5-1/4

          Ever Eden DSP:  3-7/8 x 3-7/8

          Ever Eden DSP:  1-1/2 x 3-7/8

               SCRAPS:  Basic White

                    INSIDE: 

                    Evening Evergreen:  3-3/4 x 5

                    Basic White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

     INK:  Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen

     DIES:  Stitched So Sweetly Dies

     ACCESSORIES:  SU Die Cut Machine, Flowers for Every Season Ribbon, Dimensionals, Gilded Gems

I really like the metallic gold leaves in the DSP; it gives it a gorgeous shine and shimmer when you hold it up to the light.  

The inside of the card looks like this:


On the inside of the card, I simply stamped one of the leaf designs from the stamp set using the Soft Succulent ink.  The Evening Evergreen/Soft Succulent color combination is stunning.


HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use Evening Evergreen ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Stamp leaves on lower right corner of inside panel using Soft Succulent ink.

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

4.  Adhere patterned paper to Evening Evergreen Cardstock.  Tie ribbon at seam of patterned paper.

5.  Adhere panel to front of card base.

6.  Stamp sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink.  Cut out using die and SU Die Cut Machine.

7.  Adhere sentiment to Evening Evergreen Cardstock.  Attach to front of card base using dimensionals.

8.  Add Gilded Gems (see sample for placement).


Do you know someone who could use a paper hug right now?  Make a beautiful handmade card and put it in the mail to them!

Happy stamping,

Linda
