craftykarendesigns: Delightfully Detailed Birthday Card

15th August 2018

Hi everyone,

Karen here again with another card. Today it's a birthday card using the delightfully detailed lace paper, which is beautiful and doesn't need much else to make a card look pretty. It's really simple to make and it looks great.

This is a great card for a beginner, it's a very simple technique but looks really effective.

Here's what you need to make it:

Materials

Whisper white card to make a card blank measuring 6" x 4" (I have used a ready made card base in the example)

A piece of coloured cardstock or designer series paper, 5 1/2" x 3 7/8" (this is from the Tranquil Textures Suite)

A panel of the delightfully detailed lace paper to fit the dsp/cardstock

A piece of scrap card for the sentiment in a colour to match (I've used Balmy Blue)

Stampin Up Ink Pad (Blueberry Bushel)

Detailed With Love Stamp Set (mine are wood mounted so no clear block required)

Stampin Dimensionals

Pretty Label Punch

Glue

Sponge (to apply the glue)

Trimmer

Method

1. Make a card base using a piece of Whisper White cardstock (I have used a ready made card base in this example).

2. Cut a piece of either cardstock or DSP to mat on top of the card base (5 1/2" x 3 7/8"), I have used a piece of the Tranquil Textures Suite in a lovely shade of blue.

3. Carefully trim a panel from a sheet of the delightfully detailed lace paper to fit, this paper is whisper white on one side and very vanilla on the other, so will match any colour.

4. The simplest way to adhere this lace paper to your card is to put a blob of glue on a piece of scrap card, or a silicone mat if you have one, then carefully apply the glue, using a sponge to the back of the lace panel, taking care not to tear it.

5. Adhere the panel to the cardstock or DSP and then mount that on to the card base.

6. Stamp your sentiment on a piece of scrap cardstock and punch out with the pretty label punch, add dimensionals to the back and position on your card.
