This fun and easy card is so cute and I enjoyed making it so much.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Basic Grey card stock
- White card stock
- Heart and Home designer series paper
- Nature’s Harvest stamp set and dies
- Tim Holtz Wildflower Dies (you could also use the dies from Nature’s Harvest dies)
- Basic Grey ink
- Grey twine
- Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop-Dots
With your Basic Grey card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and score in half at 2 1/8”. Cut six (6) planks out of your Basic Grey card stock with three (3) measuring 1” x 4 ¼”, one (1) measuring 1 3/8” x 4 ¼” and two (2) to 5/8” x 4 ¼”. With your White card stock cut two pieces to 2” x 5 3/8” for the back of your card.
Cut out six flowers\leaves for your card out of the basic grey, the have to fit two on each half without going over so you need to pick accordingly. I chose the three daisys, one for each side and one for the back and then two different sprigs (one of one and two of the other) that were skinner to help them fit.
With your Heart and Home designer series paper pack choose one of the pieces that has the white wood, I used the one that looked like one solid piece so I didn’t have division lines. Cut three (3) to ¾” x 4”, one (1) to 1 ¼” x 4” and two (2) to ½” x 4”.
Take your Nature’s Harvest stamp set and your Basic Grey ink with a scrap piece of White card stock and stamp the “Sending healing thoughts may nature’s beauty bring peace to your soul” Use the long label die from the Nature’s Harvest dies to cut out your words.
Now you just need to assemble it all. With your white wood planks, adhere them to the appropriate Basic Grey planks. Fold your scored card base in half. Starting from the bottom of your card base adhere a 1” plank to the left half of the card base. Adhere the next plank measuring 5/8” to the right side with a very small space left between so they don’t rub with they swing. Then another 1” piece to the left, 1 ½” piece to the right, 5/8” piece to the left and the last 1” piece to the top.
Fold up so you can see where the center is. Trim the bottom one of the sprigs so it just will hang over to the top of the bottom plank and adhere to the top, third and fifth plank, and the same with one of the daisy’s making sure it isn’t overlapping the center, or it will bend. Do the same on the right side adhere to the second, fourth and to the very top of the sixth plank. Adhere your saying to the middle of the bottom plank. Tye a bow with some grey twine and adhere to the second plank flower stem.
Take the two pieces of White card stock and the leftover flower and spring for the back of the card. Adhere one of the white pieces to one side of the back and then the other on the other side. Adhere your sprig and flower to the left side, leaving the right side for a message and signing your card.
