Card ideas that can be applied to any stamp set? I promise that this design isn’t too good to be true. It’s simple, easy to cut and score, and I’ll show you how to prep your paper AND give you two ideas for decorating the basic layout. Today’s cards feature the Country Bouquet Bundle for our first card (beautiful layered florals) and TWO Sale-A-Bration free stamp sets, Sending Support and In the Country, for our second card.
Today’s card features the NEW Country Bouquet stamp set from the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog along with the coordinating punch (LOVE a great punch!) for a sweetly simple card that fits ALL kinds of occasions and themes. Not just for Valentine’s Day, today’s ‘with love’ card would be appreciated as a get well soon, happy anniversary or all occasions thinking of you greeting.
The secret to remembering this card size is all in using designer series paper wisely. Cutting paper into 4″ wide strips is such a great starting point – so this layout takes advantage of that size. Start with a basic half sheet card, then remember that the DSP will be 3″ wide for the front and 1″ wide leftover. So the front panel of the card will be scored at 3 1/4″ to fit the first DSP piece, and the last panel of the card will get scored at 1 1/4″ from the other end, so that the 1″ piece of DSP will fit. Make sense?
Then decorate as you wish! Either the Country Bouquet Punch and a sweet stamped heart accent, or pull out your Stamparatus and try stamping directly on DSP for a gorgeous no-coloring-required effect for the detailed In The Country stamp set. For this pretty card, I stamped on the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper. Learn more about the Delicate Desert Suite Collection in my online store.
