Bouquet of Thanks card (Stamp Camp North 05/14/2022)

Saturday was a busy day at Stamp Camp North!  We had both a stamp camp and a crafter's garage sale!  Since I was cashiering for the sale and couldn't be at my card making table to help the stampers, I wanted to create an easy-to-complete card.  This is what I came up with.

Materials

Stamp Set

* Bouquet of Thanks

Paper

* Card base:  Black card stock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

* First layer:  Blushing Bride card stock: 5-1/4" x 4"

* Second layer: Black card stock: 5" x 3-3/4"

* Third layer: Texture Chic 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper ("DSP"): 4-3/4" x 3-1/2"

* Mat for flowers:  Black card stock: 4-1/4" x 3-1/4"

* Flowers: White card stock: 4" x 3"

Ink

* Black Ink

Inside (see photo below)

* Blushing Bride card stock:  5-1/4" x 4"

* White card stock: 5" x 3-3/4"

* Coordinating DSP: 3-3/4" x 1/2"

Assembly

    1. Adhere Blushing Bride card stock to card front.

    2. Adhere 5" x 3-3/4" black card stock over Blushing Bride card stock.

    3. Adhere DSP over black card stock.

    4. Stamp image on white card stock.  There is no die for this stamp, so you will need to fussy cut around the edges, or use an electronic cutter (see note below).  

    5. To create the black mat for the flowers, place cut flower shape over 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" black card stock, and cut around edge leaving about 1/8" margin.

    NOTE:  I used my Brother Scan 'n Cut to cut the flowers, using a .04 margin around the edges.  I then put black card stock in the Scan 'n Cut and increased the margin from the original .04 to .12 to cut the mat.

    6. Spritz the cut flower image with whatever gold mist you happen to have on hand (I used Gold Shimmering Bliss from my stash).

    7. Adhere flower image to black mat and then attach to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals or foam tape.

Inside

    8. Adhere 5-1/4" x 4" Blushing Bride card stock to inside of card.

    9. Adhere 3-3/4" x 1-2" strip of DSP horizontally near bottom of white card stock, then adhere white card stock over Blushing Bride card stock.

Finished!

For Saturday's stamp camp, I used an entire package of the Texture Chic DSP to make my card kits and sample cards, resulting in 12 cards each of 6 different DSP designs.  These are all of the designs and the coordinating insides.  The card stock colors for each card are shown below.  (Click on any of the images for a closer look.)

I hope you enjoy this quick and easy card!  Ok, I'll admit that if you are fussy cutting the flowers it's not quite as quick, but the result is this awesome card!
