SLIM LINE HUES of HAPPINESS

 

Hi there!  I'm Susan Boback, aka the Card Connoisseur – Facebook & Instagram          www.susanboback.stampinup.net. I created this card for the catalog launch Open House I had the end of April 2022.  While I'd love for you to use the Designer Series Papers and products from Stampin' Up! please use your own products and put your own ideas into this pattern.  That's the fun of creating, of being the artist, and of CASing - that's Copy And Share - its expected!

-----------------

This pattern makes two cards.  The remaining piece of the card base from one is used for the layer of another card. Choose two colors that will coordinate with each other and with the DSP. (Note that the finished card in the photo does not have the contrasting color layer)

1.       Card Base – on the 11” side of ONE 8 ½” x 11” piece of cardstock, cut off a 3 ¼” piece.  This becomes the layer on the 2^nd card.

2.       Score the card base at 3 7/8”.

3.       Hand cut or use the coordinating dies to cut out 3 (color coordinated with your card base) flowers.  

4.       Use a 3 x 6” piece of the DSP as a layer on top of the coordinating color layer.  Either use this as one piece, or cut it in 4 – 1 ½” pieces.  Place every other one, leaving approx. ½” space between them, using 2 of the print on one side, and 2 of the print of the other. This shows off the beautiful prints of both sides. Hand cut (fussy cutting) the flowers, including one small and leaves, and arrange them on the left side of the card front so that the DSP is visible across the front.

5.       Use dimensionals to pop up one of the flowers for a focus.

6.       Add a cheerful sentiment.
