Festive Friday Challenge Blog Hop - World Card Making Day
It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project. We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.
Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!
This week’s challenge FF #168 - World Card Making Day
I used jute trim, clean & simple and a "for you" sentiment on my card. Clean and simple card are a challenge for me so it was fun to push myself a little bit! What will you create?
I used the Perennial Postage Dies to create a negative space mask for my card and then the Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves for the images. Can you see the scorelines around the border of the card? Easy to add details using your Paper Trimmer and the Scoring Blade.
Instructions
- Cut Thick Basic White cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
- Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4" and cut out rectangle from middle using 2nd largest of the Perennial Postage Dies.
- Use the negative mask (the piece with the hole in the middle) to add colour to the middle of the card base. I used Crumb Cake, Peach Pie and a little Copper Clay using my Blending Brush.
- Keep the mask in place and stamp stem in bottom right corner using Copper Clay ink - stamp in the middle full strength, then stamp again on left and right side without re-inking stamp.
- Splatter card Copper Clay using Stampin' Blend
- Use scoring blade on trimmer to score a line 1/4" from each edge of the card base.
- Cut out smallest square using Die from Basic White cardstock
- Stamp sentiment using Copper Clay ink.
- Distress the edges using Crumb Cake ink with Blending Brush
- Splatter Copper Clay ink using Stampin' Blend.
- Zig Zag Copper Clay twine behind sentiment
- Adhere to card base using Dimensionals.
- Adhere embellishments
- Stamp stem on inside of card in bottom right corner using Copper Clay ink.
You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.
