Aspen Grove

There are days we need a hint of spring; winter drab gets to us all. Aspen Grove meets the need. I used one of my favorite colors, Afternoon Azure. 


Masking Paper and Blending Brushes help create an easy card front. 

Cutting
Azure Afternoon - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Basic White - (2) 5 1/4 x 4, 3 x 3/4

Assembly
Attach all the tree trunks to a large block, leaving space between the trunks.

On 1 of the Basic White pieces stamp the right end tree to the left side of the card stock in Tuxedo Black Ink. Use Lemon Lime Twist and stamp the leaves, inking once and stamping several times to get generations of color.

Stamp the trunks on the other Basic White paper, have the bottoms of the trunks stamp off the bottom end of the paper. Stamp the trunks again on a piece of Masking Paper, and trim out the trunks, remove the backing and rub on your clothes to remove the stickiness, then adhere over the trunks. Ink up the Blending Brush in Afternoon Azure ink and start off the card stock and color the card stock, you should get a light and dark look. Remove the mask and stamp the leaves with the same ink as the inside and same technique. 

Wrap the Black Bakers Twine around the lower end of the card stock, attach with regular tape on the back side. Attach to the card base with Dimensionals. 

Stamp the sentiment in Afternoon Azure Ink, use the Pick a Punch to flag the ends, attach to the card with Dimensionals.

Finish the card off with Green Hexagons.

Enjoy today!

A Horizontal Front Flap card

Image
  What a cute idea for a card opening and I love the dual use of the Blooming Phrases stamp set. First let's do the folding of the card. Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 8 x 6 3/4 being mindful of any pattern you have to consider, using a landscape orientation. Score on the left side and top at 2 3/4. Fold and gently burnish the left score line and make a tic mark as indicated. Now fold and burnish the top score line the same way, making the tic mark as indicated. To create the diagonal score, match the tic marks up on your paper trimmer and make the score, fold and burnish To create the fold, push the diagonal fold in and create the square on the top of the Designer Series Paper. Adhere this to the Daffodil Delight Card base. Now for the fun part, the stamping. On the Basic White square, stamp the greeting in Old Olive ink. To create the flower stems, use the "tail end" of the greeting stamp  Create seven stems of different lengths with Old Olive ink. Stamp the flowe...

Criss Cross and a Fun Fold

Image
This fun fold has a special element on the card front. I selected the sheet of Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper to use on this card because the Granny Apple Green/Berry Brust color combo made me happy.  Score and burnish the Berry Burst cardstock.  On the Basic White cardstock stamp stem from Pretty Florals using Granny Apple Green ink. Next ink up the solid blossom stamp in Berry Burst and stamp off before stamping over the stem. Ink the lined blossom stamp in Berry Burst and stamp full strength over the solid image. Insert this piece inside the card base.  Adhere the larger piece of Designer Series Paper on the inside of the right flap. Adhere the two other pieces on the front and inside of the left flap.  Fold three pieces of the Designer Series Paper strips as shown and fold the other two in the opposite direction. Take one of the first strips and adhere it to the front flap as shown, the folded edge a little below the top of the card, and the left tip touc...
