Supplies
- Curious Metallic Cryogen White cardstock, 4 ¼ x 11 (scored at 5.5” for card base) and 5 x 3 ¼
- Flame Stardream Metallic cardstock, 4 ¼ x 5
- Small stamp (one that can easily be repeated for an all-over pattern)(I used the butterfly from American Crafts “Terrace” set)
- Scalloped edge punch
- Matching ribbon
- Ink to match Flame cardstock (I used Stampin’ Up Pumpkin Pie)
- Adhesives, including dimensional
Steps
Using the small stamp and ink, create a random pattern on the 5 x 3¼ piece of Cryogen white cardstock. For a natural look, rotate the image randomly and stamp off the edge of the cardstock.
Create a scalloped edge on both sides of the Flame cardstock using the border punch. Center and attach the scalloped piece to the card base using your favorite adhesive.
Tie a bow or knot around the stamped piece and then add it to the front of the card using dimensional adhesive.
You’ve got a simple, all-occasion card. Turn this idea into a great gift by creating a set of cards to share with a special friend! Simply change the color combo used on the ink and ribbon and repeat the simple steps above. Don’t forget to include the envelopes!
The additional cardstock colors I used in my card set are: Azalea, Amethyst and Lagoon… all from the Stardream Metallic collection at CutCardStock.
Simple, but very pretty!
