1)For the
card stock portion of your card, cut a piece of GORGEOUS GRAPE at 5-1/4in by
5-3/4in. Score at 1in on the SHORT
SIDE. Then cut a panel of the VELLUM
CARDSTOCK at 4-1/4in at 5-1/2in. Crease
the score line of your cardstock. This
will be the back panel and the “hinge” of the card. Put adhesive on the inside of the “hinge”
slide in the VELLUM panel until if lines up with the back panel and fold down
the card stock. This is the card base
for your card and can be replicated in any color to match any DSP. Adhere a 1in by 5-1/2 in piece of GORGEOUS
GRAPE card stock to the inside of the “hinge” to cover the adhesive on the
vellum.
2)Next cut
two pieces of the coordinating DSP from the HYDRANGEA HILL paper stack. One at
3-7/8in by 2-7/8in and one at 1in by 5-1/2in.
Adhere the strip to the inside of the card base at the far-right
edge. Next cut two pieces of card stock
at 3in by 4in. One in BASIC WHITE for
the inside and one in a color that coordinates with the DSP. I chose GORGEOUS GRAPE.
3)Layer the
DSP on the colored card stock and adhere that panel to the front of the card,
putting adhesive on the left edge of the panel only and adhering it to the edge
of the “hinge”.
4)Carefully
adhere the BASIC WHITE panel on the inside of the card. Be sure it lines up with the panel on the
card front so it can’t be seen when the card is closed.
5)To create
the embellishments for the front of the card, I used a BASIC WHITE stitched
circle from the STITCHED SHAPES DIES. I
then “fussy cut” a hydrangea plant image from the DSP and adhered it to the
circle. I stamped a sentiment on a BASIC
WHITE strip of card stock cut at 3-4in by 2-1/2in. I adhered that to the center of the circle
using DIMENSIONALS. Finally, I tied a
piece of BASIC WHITE BAKER’S TWINE to the fold of the card.
The card box is a simple design. It includes a piece of cardstock for the cover and then a pocket and a box to add to the inside.
1)To make
the card box cover, start with a piece of GORGEOUS GRAPE card stock cut at
6-1/2in by 10-3/8in. Score at 4-3/4in
from both ends. Using the TRIO PUNCH,
round all four corners. For the DSP on
the cover, cut a piece at 4-1/2in by 6-1/4in, rounding the outside edge corners
before adhering.
2)Next, cut
a piece of GORGEOUS GRAPE card stock at 8in by 7-1/2in for the box
portion. On the LONG SIDE, score at
3/4in, 5-1/4in and 6in. On the SHORT
SIDE, score at 3/4in from both ends. You
will need a DSP panel cut at 1-3/4in by 5-3/4in for the front of the box where the
cards tuck in. Assemble the box and
adhere it to the right side of the cover.
Add the DSP panel.
3)For the pocket,
cut a piece of coordinating DSP at 10-1/2in by 5-1/2in. On the LONG SIDE, score at 6-1/4in and 9-3/4in. On the SHORT SIDE at ½in on both sides. Fold up and glue to create the pocket, then
adhere to the inside of the left side of the cover.
4)For the
embellishments on the front of the box, use WHITE EMBOSSING POWDER to place
your sentiment on the GORGEOUS GRAPE die cut from the HAPPY HIPPOS DIE
SET. Add another “fussy cut” hydrangea
plant at the bottom left corner, a bow using the TRICOLOR RIBBON and some OPAL
ROUNDS.
