This simple card made from Peaceful Garden designer series paper from Stampin’ Up makes a great card to let a friend know you are thinking of them.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Peaceful Garden designer series paper (Stampin’ Up July Online Exclusive)
- Peace on Earth stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up July Online Exclusive)
- Nature sprig dies (I think they were Stampin’ Up but not for sure)
- Secret Sea ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Cream colored Bakers Twine (Stampin’ Up)
- Small hole punch
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From your white card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, and fold in half. Cut another piece to 3 ¾” x 5”. With your Basic Beige card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. Find the Secret Sea piece with the nature sprigs on it in the Peaceful Garden designer series paper pack. Cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5 ½”.
With a spare piece of white card stock cut a nature sprig and also the small label die from the Peace on Earth dies. With the Basic Beige cut two smaller nature sprig and a large label with the die from the Peach on Earth set.
With the “Sending” and “Love” stamps from the Peace on Earth stamp set and your Secret Sea ink, stamp on the white label slightly to the right. Adhere to the Basic Beige label. With your small hole punch (about 1/8”) punch two holes one each end of your label. Cut four pieces of the cream Bakers Twine about 6” long each. Feed two pieces of twine through a whole on one end and then through a whole on the other with both ends coming up through the label, and repeat with the other two pieces of twine. Adhere your label with pop dots to the front of your designer series paper, slightly to the right. Adhere your sprigs with the white one to the front and the two Basic Beige one’s to the back and adhere to the left side of your label. Take your white card stock base and adhere one of the Basic Beige pieces and then the designer series paper to that.
For the inside of the card, take your white card stock piece, your Secret Sea ink and the greeting stamp “Big hugs for a good friend” and stamp in the upper center. Adhere that to the piece of Basic Beige and then to the inside of your card.
There is a great card to send to any friend who needs a bit of cheering up.
