This is a pretty straight forward easy card that is so cute. With the Floral Delight designer series paper from Stampin’ Up, it is just so cheery and bright.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Lemon Lolly card stock
- White card stock
- Floral Delight designer series paper
- Large floral piece (both sides)
- Dainty little flower piece
- Spring Corners stamp set
- Three rectangle nesting dies – I used the Stampin’ Up Rectangle Stitched dies
- Old Olive ink
- Lemon Lolly ink
- Old Olive Stampin’ Write marker
- Paper trimmer
- Scoring board or scoring blade for your paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop-Dots
With your Lemon Lolly piece of card stock, cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 5 ½ x 4 ¼”. Take the white card stock and cut to 5” x 8” and score at 2”, 4” and 6”. Fold the 2” part down, the 6” part down and the 8” part up. Take the dainty flower paper from the Floral Delight designer series paper and cut a piece to 4” x 5” and score in half at 2”. Fold that in half and adhere to the 4” and 6” center sections of your scored white card stock (see photo below).
Take your largest of the tree nested rectangular dies and center it at the front half of your Lemon Lolly base and cut the front panel. Then use the back of the large floral piece of designer series paper that is Old Olive and cut a rectangle with the middle size die. Then take some white card stock and cut the smallest size rectangle. Take the front side of the large floral designer series paper and cut out one of the flowers for the front of your card.
Now grab your Spring Corners stamp set and stamp the “you brighten my day” stamp toward the top of the white rectangle piece and adhere your cut out flower to the bottom of the white piece. Adhere the white rectangle to the Old Olive rectangle and then the Old Olive rectangle to the Lemon Lolly rectangle.
With your Spring Corners stamp set and the Old Olive ink stamp the “happy we are friends” corners stamp in the upper right corners of the back of your white card stock insert. Then take the little coneflower stamp and ink it with your Lemon Lolly ink pad and then take your Old Olive Stampin’ Write Market with the large calligraphy end and ink the stems and leaves of the stamp and also the flower centers. Huff (blow a warm breath onto the stamp to re-moisten then stamp it in the center of your “happy we are friends” on the back of your card insert.
Lets assemble the card. Take your white insert piece and the card base, and on the inside front cover of your card base put adhesive to the center edge of your cut out and across the top and bottom of your cut out halfway, but make sure that you leave a half inch without adhesive at the top and bottom. Now adhere the front 2” white section of your cardstock to the back of your cutout on the card base. Now put adhesive on the back of your back white panel, fold it all to the front of the card and then close the back of the card which will align it so it will open to the square it needs to.
All that is left to do is put adhesive on the back left side of your rectangle cutout and adhere that to the dainty floral side with the card closed so you can just put it back in the cut-out, so it is lined up properly.
