Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Blackberry Bliss cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Country Woods Designer Paper to the front of the card.
- Using your paper trimmer, place the 3″ x 3-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut from the upper left corner of the 3-1/4″ side to the bottom right, creating a triangle.
- Stamp the image from the One More Year Stamp set onto the Very Vanilla triangle using Black Memento ink pad. Color in using the Blends as desired. Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock to the lower right corner of the card front.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the small tag die from the Something Fancy dies. Run the 2″ x 3″ Blackberry Bliss cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the larger tag die.
- Adhere the Very Vanilla tag to the Blackberry Bliss tag and adhere to the upper left corner of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
A Tip from Barb
If you don’t have the Something Fancy dies, just cut the cardstock into rectangles instead. Cut the Very Vanilla Cardstock to 1-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ and the Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 1-1/2″ x 2-1/2″. Easy peasy and makes this a super simple card!
