craftykarendesigns: Pretty Perennials True Love Triple Panel Birthday Card

Hi Everyone,

Today I have been playing with the dies from the pretty Perennial Bundle and I just love them. I've combined them with the rue Love designer series paper and the Vine Designs stamp set. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1 piece of real red card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

1 piece of basic white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

3 pieces of basic black 1 3/4" x 3 1/2"

3 pieces of dsp 1 5/8" x 3 3/8"

Scraps of basic white and basic black for the sentiment and decoration

Basic rhinestones

Stampin Cut and Emboss machine

Stitched So Sweetly dies

Perennial Petals dies

Vine Design stamp set

Real red ink

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Trimmer

Simply scored

Bone folder

Instructions

Score the real red card on the long side at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make a landscape card.

Add a strip of basic black 3/4" wide across the front of the card in the centre widthways.

Adhere the dsp strips to the basic black pieces and arrange on the front of the card equal distances from the top and bottom and with equal gaps between them (I have used dimensionals).

Stamp one large flower and two smaller ones on a scrap of basic white using real red ink and stamp the sentiment on another scrap.

Die cut the flowers and the sentiment (using the Stitched So Sweetly rectangles), die cut a larger rectangle in black and two sets of the leaves and the flower outlines.

Adhere the stamped rectangle to the black layer and then add to the centre of the card using dimensionals.

Arrange the flowers around the sentiment on dimensionals and tuck the leaves in and around them (I have cut them up to make them easier to tuck in around the smaller flowers. Add the black outline flowers to the centre and then add rhinestones.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining white layer and decorate if required and add to the inside of the card.

I hope that you like my pretty card and will give it a try.
