Sending Healing Thoughts Card

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Nature’s Harvest
Ink:  Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Soft Succulent
Cardstock:  Soft Succulent – one piece cut to 4 ¼” x 11” and scored at 5 ½” for the card base (this is a top fold card)
Basic White – one piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼”
Very Vanilla –one piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼”
Crumb Cake – two pieces; one piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and one piece cut to 1” x 4 ¼”
Designer Series Paper (DSP):  Harvest Meadow – two pieces; one piece cut to 3 ¾” x 5” and one piece cut to ¾” x 4” (see photo for pattern used
Accessories:  Adhesive of choice, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Harvest Dies, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots, regular sized Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, Diamond Weave Ribbon, paper towels, Stampin’ Spritzer filled with water, Clear Block (I use the “I” size)

Directions: 

1.    Adhere the 3 ¾” x 5” piece of DSP to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Use the Stampin, Cut & Emboss machine to emboss this piece with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder then adhere the embossed piece to the card front.

2.    Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut two of the multi-flower dies and one of the willowy looking dies from the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White (see photo for the correct images to cut)

3.    Place folded paper towels on your work surface.  Place one of the multi-flower dies face down on the paper towel.  Ink the Clear Block with Soft Succulent ink and lightly spritz with water.  Place the inked, spritzed block down onto the die cut.  This will create a beautiful mottled color on the die cut.  Repeat with the second multi-flower die cut.

4.    Clean the Clear Block and repeat Step 3 using Crumb Cake ink and the remaining willowy looking die.

5.    Place all three dies into the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and us the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine to emboss them. 

6.    After embossing the die cuts, adhere the willowy looking die into the middle of the card front.  Use a mixture of regular and mini size Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the two multi-flower dies on either side of the willowy looking die (see photo for placement.

7.    Use Early Expresso Ink to stamp the “Sending healing thoughts…” sentiment onto the 1” X 4 ¼” piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine and the largest rectangular die from the Harvest dies to cut out the sentiment. 

8.    Cut a 5” length of Diamond Weave Ribbon.  Cut this piece in half lengthwise. 

9.    Cover the back of the sentiment die cut with adhesive and adhere the two halves of ribbon to the top and the bottom of the die cut.  Trim the ribbon to match the ends of the die cut.  Adhere the die cut to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Place one of the smallest Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots on each side of the sentiment (see photo for placement).

10. If a sentiment is desired for the inside of the card, use Early Espresso ink to stamp it onto the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock.  Adhere the ¾” x 4” piece of DSP to the bottom of the Very Vanilla cardstock and then adhere this piece to the inside of the card.

11. Send to someone who is in need of comfort.
