Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Sunday.... March is here and there are definite signs of Spring around the garden here - the little crocuses are flowering, freesias are about to burst into bloom and the almond tree leaves are beginning to appear, replacing the fabulous display of blossom we have had this year. The fragrance has been amazing but I wish the flowers lasted longer.
I'm back today with a new baby card that I've made using some gorgeous digital stamps by Lili of the Valley (LOTV)
I'm not exactly sure of the name of the style of card but I was inspired to create one in June last year after watching a tutorial by a friend on her Facebook group Nifty Noodles Crafting
I made very slight changes to her tutorial dimensions so I could use my scoreboard which shows imperial rather than metric measurements, but the completed card still folds to fit into a standard C6 envelope.
For the card base cutting 4 pieces of card as follows
- 12" x 4" scored at 2" & 4 "
- 6" x 4" for the card base
- 3 1/2" x 3 1/2 "
- 3 1/4" x 31/4"
I wanted to create a larger A7 or 5" x 7" version for todays special card and its was fairly easy to scale up to the correct size.
Here are the measurements for the larger version of the card.
For the card base cutting 4 pieces of baby blue card as follows
- 7 1/2" x 5" scored at 2 1/2" & 5" (2 of these)
- 5" x 7" for the card base
- 4 1/2" x 4 1/2 "
- 4 1/4" x 4 1/4"
I chose 3 gorgeous stamps for my card today for the 3 separate panels colouring them with Polychromos. The front face of the card features and image called Special Delivery
The next panel features two sweet little birds , this is called Baby Birds Boy, yes there's one for a little girl too !
The final digital stamp on the inside of the card is a simple heart sentiment that was coloured and fussy cut out.
It's a really simple but I think a stunning card design with layers of baby blue and pretty patterned papers from a very old paper pad by Crafters Companion.
All of the images were coloured and then I've applied black foil to give a little shine and the look of a heat embossed image.
Finishing touches were some blue enamel dots around the card
Hasta luego 👋
Enjoy the rest of your day !
