I love the Forever Fern Bundle and Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. My card is a Gate Fold card with a beautiful belly band to hold it closed.
Instructions
- Cut Shaded Spruce cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". Fold on the score lines to form card base.
- Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper 2" x 5 3/8". Adhere to the left and right hand side of card base using Stampin' Seal.
- Cut Whisper White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4".
- Stamp sentiment using Shaded Spruce ink.
- Stamp leaves in bottom right corner using Shaded Spruce and Pear Pizzazz (both stamped off once).
- Adhere to the inside of the card using Stampin' Seal.
- Cut Shaded Spruce cardstock 3/4" x 9 1/2". Wrap around card base and adhere ends together in middle of front of card using Stampin' Seal. Trim off excess. TIP: You don't want to have the band too tight as it will make it hard to get on and off of the card.
- Colour the white side of leaves on the Forever gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper - I used the wreath shape with leaves around edges. I coloured leaves using Stampin' Blends Light and Dark Just Jade and Light Old Olive.
- Adhere some Gold leaves of different shapes and sizes to the front of the coloured leaves using Stampin' Seal.
- Adhere to band using Dimensionals.
