Peaceful Garden Sending Love

Peaceful Garden is not just for Christmas! It’s for anyone who loves blue for any occasion! Here I have made a “Sending Love” card. Could be for a birthday, an anniversary, I miss you, I love you ~ you get the idea!

My Recipe:

• Secret Sea Cardstock, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
• Secret Sea layer, 5-1/2″x 4-1/4″, textured with Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder
• Peaceful Garden DSP, three patterns with three different Party Banners Dies, 1-1/4″x 1-3/4″, 3-1/8″x 4-1/8″, and 3-3/4″x 5″
• Secret Sea Cardstock at the top of the medium banner, 3-1/8″x 1/2″
• Basic White Cardstock for inside, 5-1/4″x 4″
• Misty Moonlight & Silver Ribbon, about 5-3/4″
• White Baker’s Twine
• One Hues of Blue Flower embellishment

Directions:

• Emboss the Secret Sea layer with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder and glue it to the card base.
• Glue the largest Party Banner to the middle of the embossed front.
• Glue the 1/2″ strip to the top of the medium banner. With the dies, crop two holes on each end, about 1/4″ from each end.
• Thread the ribbon through each hole, letting the ends hang loose. Tie the Baker’s Twine in the middle of the ribbon and tie a bow. Trim ends as desired. Adhere this piece to the middle of the first banner using a bit of Foam Adhesive Sheet.
• Stamp the sentiment on the smallest banner with Versamark Ink. Sprinkle with white embossing powder and set with a Heat Tool.
  • If you are new to heat embossing, here are a few tips: Cover the area you will be stamping with anti-static powder, like our Stampin’ Up! Embossing Buddy. This sentiment is actually two stamps, so stamp them one at a time to get the best placement. I recommend stamping on top of a foam mat (i.e. Piercing Mat) to get a good, even coverage of ink. Tap off all the excess powder before you heat it up. A small paintbrush works well to get the un-wanted bits of sticky powder. This is especially important when you are putting white onto a dark surface such as this Secret Sea.
• Glue this smallest banner to the right edge, just hanging off the medium banner slightly. Add a Hues of Blue Flower embellishment to the small Secret Sea banner.

 

Such a simple card, but a “Wow!” with that beautiful Designer Series Paper!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a delightful week!
