craftykarendesigns: Bottled Happiness Gatefold Card

Hi Everyone,

I thought that I would make a square card today using colours I don't reach for very often - Mint Macaron, Shaded Spruce and So Saffron. I've teamed them with the Subtles dsp stack, the Bottled Happiness and Charming Sentiments stamp sets. I really like how it turned out.

Instructions

On the long side score the mint macaron card at 2 7/8" from each end, fold and burnish to make the gatefold card.

Add the largest piece of dsp to the inside of the card. Add the dsp layers to the basic white mats and add to the gates. Stamp a sentiment on the 4" square of white and then adhere inside the card.

Stamp the small bottle in the centre of the remaining white card at the bottom and then add the flowers with the two step stamping using shaded spruce and so saffron. Adhere this piece to the mint macaron mat layer, add dimensionals to the back of the right hand side only and add to the right gate.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and then die cut with the corresponding silhouette die and add across the bottom of the bottle using dimensionals.

Tie a small double bow with some twine and add to the neck of the bottle. Sprinkle some rhinestones for some added bling and the card is complete.
