Today I did a FB live, making this lovely card. I’m afraid the LIVE didn’t go as smoothly as when I practiced earlier in the day. I was a bit scattered, so I thought I’d share the card and directions here for this particular card.
The card base is Calypso Coral, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. Attach the 3 3/4″ x 5″ chosen designer paper to a piece of 4″ x 5 1/4″ Whisper White cardstock (c/s). Tie a bow from a length of Call Me Clover ribbon around these 2 layers, then attach to the card base. Next, cut a Whisper White piece of 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ c/s. Cut a 2nd piece of the same designer paper pattern at 3″ x 4″. Attach to the card base and layers, popping up with dimensionals. I chose this measurement so you could get several pieces from 1 sheet of paper. Using your Big Shot, cut a Calypso Coral scalloped circle — the size is just larger than the Whisper White c/s circle that is stamped with the sentiment (I used Calypso Coral ink) and punched out with a 2 1/4″ round punch. I popped these circle layers up with dimensionals again. Now, punch out 2 small flowers using one of the flower punches from the Bitty Blooms punch pack and Grapefruit Grove c/s. The leaves are punched from Call Me Clover c/s scrap. I used mini dimensionals to hold the leaves in place under the flowers and attached them to the bottom of the circle. The final touch is the Happiness Blooms enamel dots – I used the Call Me Clover ones as I thought the coral/grapefruit color would get lost in the flower. Use a Take Your Pick tool to place these dots — I couldn’t find the attachment I needed to place them, which made my video even funnier!
This card plus 9 other cards using the stamp set, Strong and Beautiful, the Happiness Blooms designer paper, and matching colors, are all part of a class I’m offering on Saturday, March 9th. Although it’s too late to get into the product-based class, I do have some pre-cut card kits available. The cost is $30, plus shipping if you don’t live locally (I’m estimating $7-8 for shipping). Contact me at stampwithjeannie@gmail.com and I’ll send you a PayPal Invoice. I’m sharing another card tomorrow — unfortunately my phone battery died before I could make the 2nd card this morning.
For a truly entertaining time, check out my FB live on my FB page, Jeanne Nielsen, the Card Lady (like my page), or join my group for a replay of this video plus other cards I’m making at Papercrafting with Jeannie. The supply list is below! Thanks for checking me out today!
