This is the first time I have made a tower card and it took me a little bit of playing. My instructions will be correct, though my card is a half an inch too long to fit into a standard envelope. I haven’t use the Irresistible Blooms suite in a while and I forgot how beautiful the paper is.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Hello, Irresistible designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Irresistible Blooms dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Decaled Circle dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
With the Petal Pink card stock cut two pieces 4 ¼” x 4 ½”, and score along the 4 ½” side at 1”, 2”, 3”, 4” for your towers. Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” scored at ½” and 2 ½” for the center.
From the Hello, Irresistible designer series paper pack, find the piece that has the flowers on the front you can cut out with dies that is the lighter piece with the petal pink and daffodil delight colors and on the back has the same colors with a triangle design. Then also a piece that is just the Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight and then also a piece with white leaf designs.
With one piece on the triangle side cut 6 pieces to ¾” x 4”. With the plain Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight piece cut two pieces to 2 ¼” x 4”.
Now take your two Decaled Circle dies, the larger should be about 3 ½” or so and then the next smaller one. With the larger cut two Petal Pink and with the smaller one cut one with the white leaf designer series paper piece and one from white card stock. Also use the three decorative leaf dies and cut 5 different leaves. Take the two flower dies and cut out one large flower from the designer series paper and two of the smaller size.
Now let’s start assembling. Take the two pieces of Petal Pink cut to 4 ¼” x 4 ½” scored and your 6 pieces of designer series paper with the triangles and adhere three to one piece in the three 1” sections from the ½” side and then put adhesive on the ½” section and form your tower. Do the same with the other tower.
Take the Petal Pink piece you cut for the center and adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to each side. Put adhesive on both ½” side and adhere each tower, centering your center on each tower. Take one of your Petal Pink Decaled Circles and the circle with the white leaves and adhere to the Petal Pink circle, making sure the leaves don’t hang down too far). Take the one large flower and one of the small flowers you cut and with pop dots adhere to the bottom of the circle and adhere three leaves for decoration.
With the Irresistible Bloom stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp on a spare piece of white stamp the “Hello” greeting and use an appropriate size label die to cut it out. Use pop dots to adhere to your Decaled Circle above the flowers. Put some adhesive on the center of both of your towers and fold down so it is lying flat and adhere your decaled circle with the flowers at the bottom.
Now take your second Decaled Petal Pink circle and the white one and adhere together. With the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp the “I Couldn’t be happier to have you as my friend” greeting. Take the second small flower and adhere with pop dots and then add the two leaves.
You now have a lovely card to send to a friend to let them know you are thinking of them.
