New Horizons Suite (January-June 2022 Mini Catalog)

This is the card stampers made at my table this past Saturday at Sassy Stampers Stamp Camp in Longmont.  It's a great all-occasion, feel-good card!

Many thanks to Michelle Jutrisa, a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in Australia, for sharing this idea.  Visit Michelle's site at New Horizons - (butterflysandbows.com).

Materials

New Horizons Suite (January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, p. 43)
* On the Horizon Stamp Set
* Horizon Dies
* New Horizons 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper ("DSP")
* Pebbles Enamel Shapes

Other Materials
* Black card stock: 
    8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" (card base)
    4-1/8" x 2-1/8" (mat for DSP)
    2-1/8" x 1-1/8" (mat for sentiment)
* White card stock:
    5-1/4" x 4" (2 pieces -- one for front; one for inside)
    2" x 1" (sentiment)
* Black stamp pad
* New Horizons DSP: 4" x 2"
* Heart & Home DSP: about 2" x 1-5/8" for fence
* Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder
* Foam Tape or Stampin' Dimensionals

Assembly

    1. Fold card stock away from score line to create card base.
    2. Place New Horizons DSP about 1/4" from top and left sides of 5-1/4" x 4" white card stock and stamp weeds image over both pieces of paper; stamp birds image on DSP.
    3. Use embossing folder to add texture to white card stock.  (TIP:  Be sure to allow the black ink to dry completely before embossing, especially if you are embossing several pieces.  Otherwise, the ink may transfer to the embossing folder and then transfer to the next piece embossed.)
    4. Adhere embossed white card stock to card front.
    5. Adhere DSP to 4-1/8" x 2-1/8" black card stock, and then adhere assembled piece over white card stock, being careful to line up weeds image.
    6. Stamp sentiment on 2" x 1" white card stock, and adhere to 2-1/8" x 1-1/8" black card stock.  Adhere assembled piece to card front with foam tape or Stampin' Dimensionals.
    7. Use dies to cut fence piece from Heart & Home DSP.  Cut narrow strips of foam tape or Stampin' Dimensionals and apply to the back of the first and third fence slats; apply liquid glue to the back of the last (smallest) slat and adhere to card.  This heightens the illusion that the fence is going from the foreground to the background.
    8. Apply self-adhesive Pebbles Enamel Shapes near bottom of fence.

Inside

    9.  Stamp the weeds image on the second piece of 5-1/4" x 4" white card stock and adhere to the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoy making this card as much as I did.  The New Horizons DSP makes it so easy to create a beautiful card without much effort.
