Happy Saturday, Bleeps! I hope you're enjoying your weekend! We're heading to a weekend destination wedding to photograph! Yippeee!! Although I wish I was at home in my studio crafting away, it's great to get out and see something new and fresh, especially a wedding. I hope to return full of inspiration.
Today's card has a lot of STUFF! It is not my usual card design. I spent a lot of time on it. I started it, left the house and went out to dinner, then came back to it! I hope you like it. The sketch was inspired by Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge, although I changed it up a lot there!
Instructions
- Trim kraft cardstock into an A2 card by trimming an 8.5" x 11" cardstock vertically in half.
- Trim yellow cardstock to fit card front and adhere.
- On a piece of ocean tides cardstock, stamp the woodgrain background (tone-on-tone).
- Trim the corners off of the edges to create a tag.
- Take a piece of red cardstock, fold it over the top of the tag, then add an eyelet.
- Tie thick jewelry cord/twine into a bow.
- Adhere felt deer to tag and add rhinestones.
- Take a strip of fabric and sew a pleat, then adhere to the bottom of the card front.
- Adhere the tag to the card front with foam adhesive.
- Tie ribbon around card front into a knot.
- Using a word processing software, type sentiment and print on red cardstock strip. (Tip: If you have a strip of cardstock, print the sentiment on regular printer paper, then lightly adhere cardstock strip overtop area where sentiment prints, then re-print on same page on the strip of cardstock, then pull off gently to remove! No wasted paper!)
- Adhere sentiment to card front with foam adhesive.
