Sunflower Card – Welcome

Happiness Enclosed Embossed Sunflower Card

This is a great fall card made with the lovely Sunflower 3D embossing folder from Stampin’ Up. It was inked on the side that embosses in which then inked the background and some of the highlights, making your sunflowers stand out.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

More Mustard card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
Really Rust card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Paper Tags stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
More Mustard ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
Natural Tones Linen Thread (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For the card base cut a piece of Really Rust card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With the More Mustard card stock cut a piece to 4” x 6 ¼”. Then from Basic Beige cut a piece for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.

Grab your Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and the More Mustard ink pad and in on the side where the flowers dent in. I started by running it down from top to bottom and then actually dabbed the ink. Then place your piece of More Mustard cut paper on the uninked side where you want it placed and fold the inked side in. Run through your die cut machine. Let dry for a few minutes then cut a 1” strip off of one end to measure 1” x 4”.

Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” embossed piece to the front of your card. Take a scrap piece of More Mustard and stamp with the “Happiness Enclosed” in more mustard ink. Cut the ribbon label die to cut out. Take some of the Cajan Craze linen thread and wrap 5 times and then cut a piece to tie it all together and snip the ends. Adhere to the back of the label and then adhere to the lower right corner.

For the inside of the card adhere the Basic Beige piece to the inside and then adhere the piece of embossed More Mustard piece you cut to 1” to the bottom just slightly up from the bottom leaving about 1/8” of an inch. With the “consider this a paper hug” stamp it in the upper center of the inside of your card in More Mustard ink.

This card just speaks cheer with the lovely sunflowers and sending a “paper hug.”

From a piece of Pecan Pie card stock cut four of the smaller size centers with the die and center impression die. From a spare piece of white card stock cut a white medium flower with the die and center impression die. Then take a spare piece of the sunflower paper and cut out three of the leaves, or takes a piece of Garden Green cards stock and the leaf die and center impression die and cut.

Take the four flower centers your and the dark Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends pen and ink around the edges of each. Take the light Darling Duckling Stampin’ Blends pen and your four flowers and color all of the impressions cuts as a highlight. Glue the flower centers into the center of each flower.

Adhere your “I appreciate you” piece to the inside of your card and adhere the last sunflower to the lower left corner.
