Today I used Stampin' Up!s Deckled Rectangles Dies to make these fancy looking, but really very simple cards using Basic White Cardstock and Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper (DSP). This DSP is a Sale-a-Bration reward item you can choose when you place a $50 USD order with me before tax and shipping. Selecting this package of DSP is a $12 retail value you can receive free. Sale-a-Bration only lasts until February 28, 2023, then it is gone until next January, 2024, so don't miss out!
Here's a quick description of how to make this card:
1. Cut your Basic White card stock into the normal 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" with a score line at 4 1/4". You can make one or more quick cards when you cut your DSP 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". Use the largest die to die cut the outer edge. then select whichever rectangle you'd like for the center rectangle. Lay the die carefully so all margins are as equal as you can make it and make the center die cut. You will be flipping the center DSP piece over to get the shown effect.
2. You'll need an extra piece of Basic White to cut 1/4" larger all around from the deckled rectangle you chose to use for the center. Glue those two layers together and tie a ribbon with bow around those two layers. The center layers are adhered directly to the larger DSP layer that is adhered to the card front.
3. Select your sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set and find a die that will work from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Stamp your sentiment in matching ink then die cut. Raise the tag up with dimensionals in your choice of location on the card front
4. Be sure to cut an extra of the smaller flower with the black edge and adhere it to the inside of your card for a nice surprise of color! Embellish with your choice of bling.
5. It is always a nice touch to add a 2 3/8" x 6" matching DSP piece to the exterior envelope flap and trim off the excess.
