All the Good Things

Today's card features Stampin' Up!'s All the Good Things stamp set. This is the card we made at my table at yesterday's stamp camp at Rose Hill Grange. Very quick and simple to make (once all the pieces parts are cut and embossed).

Instructions
(SNAIL Adhesive used throughout unless otherwise indicated)

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

2. Adhere 5-1/4" x 4" Whisper White card stock to card front.

3. Use Big Shot and Layered Leaves embossing folder to add texture to 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" Sahara Sand card stock. Use Subtle embossing folder to add vertical texture to 6" x 1" Vellum card stock. Wrap Vellum card stock over top and bottom edges of Sahara Sand card stock about 3/4" from left edge, and adhere in back. Adhere Sahara Sand card stock to card front.

4. Use Big Shot and Layering Ovals Dies to cut a 3-1/4" x 2-3/8" oval from Fresh Fig card stock; cut a 3" x 2-1/8" oval from Whisper White card stock. Stamp bonsai tree image on Whisper White oval; adhere to Fresh Fig oval. Adhere ovals to card front over Vellum card stock as shown.

5. Stamp sentiment on 2-1/2" x 1" Whisper White card stock; adhere to Fresh Fig 2-3/4" x 1-1/4" card stock. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere to front of card slightly overlapping the ovals.

6. Make a 3-loop bow with the Linen Thread and attach as shown with a Mini Glue Dot behind the knot.

Don't forget the inside . . . .

I decided to keep the inside of this card fairly simple -- so I just stamped another sentiment from this stamp set, along with a few water lilies, on a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White card stock.
