Monogram Messages Meets Flowers For Every Season

Hi Everyone,

I made these cards for a swap with some of my Team Mates. Lots of us are taking part and we are all in groups of 5 and the aim is to inspire your fellow Demonstrators with your ideas. You end up with 4 lovely cards from the other members of your group to brighten up your day (who doesn't like receiving lovely cards in the mail?) and hopefully give you some ideas.

Materials

1 piece of 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" card stock for the card base and 1 piece 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" to cut the sentiment mat from (I have used Magenta Madness and Just Jade)

1 piece of dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" (Flowers For Every Season)

1 piece of whisper white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" for the inside and 1 piece 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" for the sentiment

Monogram Messages stamp set

Magenta Madness ink

Just Jade ink

Stitched So Sweetly dies

2020-2022 In Colour Enamel Dots

Dimensionals

Multipurpose Adhesive

Instructions

Fold the large piece of card stock in half at 4 1/8" and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the dsp to the front of the card leaving a small border all the way around.

Stamp the design on the small piece of whisper white with the ink that matches the card base and stamp on the whisper white layer for the inside of the card if required.

Die cut the whisper white sentiment layer with the second largest stitched rectangle die and the sentiment mat from the piece matching the card base and using the largest die.

Adhere the inside whisper white layer and adhere the sentiment to the mat layer and then arrange on the card front using dimensionals. Add an enamel dot in a matching or contrasting colour.

I've also decorated the envelope with some butterflies to match the card base colour.

I hope that you like these cards and will give them a try.
