Another Fun and Easy Card

 . . . and here is the second card I made for the Longmont Senior Center class in July.  This card involved a bit of preparation (i.e., diecutting and embossing), but once the pieces parts were completed, it became another simple "slap & stick" card.

Materials

* 100# Hammermill white card stock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4" (card base)

* Wild Wasabi card stock by Stampin' Up!: 5-1/4" x 4" (2 pieces -- one for front; one for inside)

* Momenta card stock booklet from my stash: about 5-3/8" x 3-1/4" (colorful second layer) plus scraps for inside flowers)

* 80# Hammermill white card stock:  about 4-3/4" x 3-5/8" (embossed and die cut top layer); 5-1/4" x 4" (inside)

* Banners for You stamp set and Bunch of Banners dies (retired Stampin' Up!)

* Petal Burst embossing folder (retired Stampin' Up!)

* Deckled Rectangles Dies (retired Stampin' Up!)

* Small Flowers Die (from Amazon or maybe Temu -- cuts 18 flowers at a time)

* Cut out circle with flowers die from my stash (unknown source)

* Small Sponge Daubers

* Stampin' Pads from Stampin' Up!

    * Flirty Flamingo for flower centers

    * Smoky Slate for banner

    * Basic Gray for sentiment

* Wild Wasabi Stampin' Write Marker

Assembly

* Fold card 100# white card stock at score line to create card base.

* Adhere Wild Wasabi card stock to card front.

* Use 5-3/8" x 3-1/4" deckled rectangle die to cut next layer from colorful card stock; adhere over Wild Wasabi card stock.

* Use 4-3/4" x 3-5/8" deckled rectangle die to cut top layer from 80# white card stock; emboss with Petal Burst embossing folder to add texture; cut circle with flowers die about 3/8" from top and sides of embossed card stock; use side of brush on Stampin' Write marker to trace around edge of die cut.  Adhere over colorful card stock.

* Use small sponge dauber to add Flirty Flamingo ink to centers of each flower.  (NOTE:  If you don't have small sponge daubers, small blender brushes or even a pencil eraser will work to apply the ink.)

* Stamp banner and sentiment on white card stock and cut out with corresponding banner die; use foam tape to adhere to card front as shown.

* Adhere second piece of Wild Wasabi card stock to inside of card.

* Adhere 80# white card stock over Wild Wasabi card stock.

* Use small flowers die to cut a bunch of flowers from colorful card stock and adhere on inside wherever they make you happy!

This was such a fun card that I decided to make it again, but alas, I had run out of Wild Wasabi card stock!  Luckily, I also had some Sweet Sugarplum card stock, ink and markers in my retired Stampin' Up! stash, so I used them in place of the Wild Wasabi for the first layer, flower centers, and tracing around edge of embossed deckled piece.

This is the same card substituting Sweet Sugarplum for Wild Wasabi and Flirty Flamingo.  We made this version at one of my tables for Sassy Stampers August Card Camp in Berthoud.  Difficult for me to decide which I like better!

More cards coming soon . . . in the meantime, Happy Stamping!!!
