Basic Borders Meets True Beauty - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Stand Alone Dies

Hi Everyone,

Today I have been playing with the Basic Border dies and the True Beauty Bundle and made a pretty card using some of my favourite colours, Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky.

Materials

1 piece of Starry Sky card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of basic white card stock 4" x 5 7/8", 1 piece 2" x 5 7/8", scraps for the sentiment and stamping

1 piece of Tahitian Tide 3 1/2" x 5 7/8"

True Beauty stamp set

Organic Beauty dies

Basic Border dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine

Best Label Punch

Starr Sky ink

Tahitian Tide ink

Parakeet Party ink

Opal Rounds

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the Starry Sky card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Run the front edge of this card base through the Cut & Emboss machine with the chosen die in place, any of the dies in this set will work in the way that I have made my card.

Run the Tahitian Tide and basic white piece through using the same die so that all of the centre points will line up as in the photo. Adhere them in place.

Stamp several flowers and leaves (I've chopped the leaves apart to make single ones) and die cut them. Arrange these on the card front and fix in place, I've used dimensionals on some of them. Add opal rounds to the flower centres.

On the remaining piece of white card, stamp a flower and then adhere in place on the inside of the card. Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and punch out with the Best Label Punch, add a contrasting colour one too and add them to the card front as shown.
