Soft Floral Fragrant Layers Card with a Fresh Spring Color Combo
Create an elegant all-occasion handmade card using the Fragrant Layers Bundle and a soft Highland Heather color palette. This layered floral design uses die cuts, designer paper, and subtle coloring for a polished look.
Supplies Needed
- Pool Party Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Card Base
- Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" Inside Card
- Subtles Designer Series Paper: 4" x 5-1/4" (Highland Heather)
- Basic White Cardstock: 3" x 4" (for die-cutting)
- Pool Party: 3/4" x 3-1/2" (for die-cutting sentiment)
Instructions
- Fold the Pool Party cardstock in half to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card base and decorate as desired.
- Run the Highland Heather Subtles paper through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut out the center using the Rectangle Floral Frame. Using scissors, carefully snip out the floral image. Use this piece on another card if desired.
- Using the 3" x 4" piece of Basic White cardstock, run through the Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the center using the same die as used in the previous step. Color in the large floral image using the Light Highland Heather blend, being careful to not overlap the other images. Tip: I used the nib end rather than the Brush tip end for better control.
- Color in the leaves using the Dark Granny Apple Green Blend and the smaller flowers using the Dark Highland Heather Blend.
- Using adhesive, layer the Basic White die-cut onto the back of the Highland Heather Subtles paper so that only the flowers show through on the front side. Adhere to the front of the card.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 3/4" strip of Pool Party cardstock using Highland Heather ink. Run through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the long sentiment label. If desired, carefully trim off the rounded extensions at both ends.
- Adhere the sentiment label to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals to finish.
Notes
Queen Bee (for Experienced Cardmakers)
Queen Bee projects are designed for experienced papercrafters. In most cases, these cards involve multiple techniques and products, including a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine for die-cutting and/or embossing. These projects are often more involved – but the results are worth it!
