Happy Monday Stampers, Its Alternate Monday time!
What is Alternate Monday??? This means I am sharing a card taken from the blog hop that I participate in each Thursday. I am taking either the sketch or color challenge and making a second card that is close to or similar to the posted card from the hop. I want to inspire you to get different looks for your card by mixing it up a bit by color and design. Today I used the same layout, with a twist and changed the colors to give the card an “Alternate” look.
Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Card:
The Recipe:
Card base: Gray Granite 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2
Mat: Starry Sky 4 x 5-1/4
Art Piece: Basic White 3-7/8 x 5-1/8
Thin banner: Sun Prints 1-1/4 x 3-7/8
Thin banner mat: 1-3/8 x 3-7/8
The Details:
- The art piece is stamped using the leaf images from the Natures Prints stamp set as follows:
- Gingo leaves: Starry Sky
- Fern: Starry Sky and 2nd generation Starry Sky
- Wheat image: Gray Granite
- After you stamp the images onto the art piece, emboss the panel with the 3D Fern Embossing Folder
More Details:
- Stamp the wheat image onto Basic White card stock in Gray Granite and die cut with the Natures Prints Die
- Die cut 3 long leaves from the Natures Prints Die (2 in Starry Sky and 1 in Gray Granite)
- Die cut one shore Gray Granite leaf image from the Natures Prints Die
The Sentiment:
- Stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Prints stamp set onto Basic White card stock in Starry Sky Ink
- Die cut the sentiment out using the die from the Nature’s Die set
Putting the card together:
- Adhere the art piece to the Starry Sky mat
- Attach the Sun Prints DSP thin banner to the Starry Sky thin banner mat
- Attach this to the front of the art piece
- Wrap a piece of Starry Sky Bakers Twine, twice around the card
- Adhere this matted panel to the front of the card with Dimensionals
- Adhere your sentiment to the thin banner with Dimensional
- Attach the Wheat die cuts along with the long leaf die cuts to the left of the sentiment
Finishing Touches:
- Attach a Starry Sky Bakers Twine bow to the left of the sentiment and on top of the leaf cluster with a glue dot
- Attach a new Night of Navy Solid Faceted Gems to the front of the card and you are done
