All-Occasion Card (Sassy Chic Stamp Camp 1-6-2018)

Today's card is one I pulled together on short notice for a large stamp camp this past Saturday.  I didn't have enough of one pattern of Designer Series Paper in my stash -- and not enough time to order more -- so the stampers had seven different pattern options.  And since the paper is double-sided, there were actually many different designs floating around camp that day!

Thanks to Alison Barclay, a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in Australia, for this design.  To view Alison's original card, click HERE.

Instructions
SNAIL Adhesive used throughout unless otherwise indicated.

1. Score 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card stock at 4-1/4"; fold away from score line to create card base.

2. Adhere 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" DSP to 5-1/4" x 4" card stock.

3. Use Triple Banner Punch to trim one end of each of the two strips of DSP.  Adhere 1" banner to card at right edge of DSP as shown; adhere 7/8" strip near bottom of larger banner, overlapping slightly.

4. Wrap ribbon or twine around card stock and tie in a bow in front.  (NOTE:  For Baker's Twine and Linen Thread, I wrapped three times before tying bow; for ribbon I wrapped just once because wrapping it multiple times felt too bulky to me.)

5.  Adhere card stock to front of card.

6. Stamp sentiment on Whisper White THICK card stock; punch out with Everyday Label Punch.

5. Add Rhinestone Basic Jewels or other bling randomly to front of card.

That's all there is to this card!  Simple and quick.
