Hand-Penned Friendship Card

I’ve been spending time creating with some of the products in the Hand-Penned Suite.  I absolutely love this bundle.  However, today’s card just features the very pretty coordinating Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. The colors in this collection are so inspiring and fun to work with.  It’s also one of the collections available for 15% off this month through August 2nd.

Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper
#155499

There’s quite a bit of measuring and cutting on this card.  But once that’s done, it goes together very easily.

Materials & Measurements

• Basic White Thick card stock:  8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
• Pale Papaya card stock: 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ and 4 1/2″ x 2 1/4″
• Basic White card stock: 5 1/4″ x 2 1/4″
• Hand-Penned (Dotted) DSP: 5 1/4″ x 1 3/4″
• Hand-Penned (Floral) DSP: 4 1/4″ x 2 1/8″, cut into (4) 1 1/16″ strips

Details

• Emboss the 2 1/4″ Basic White panel using the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder and glue to the large Pale Papaya panel, leaving an 1/8″ border around the top and sides.
• Glue the dotted DSP pattern below the embossed layer, leaving an 1/8″ border around the bottom and sides.  NOTE:  there may be a little overlapping or a gap where the panels meet in the middle.  The ribbon will hide this.
• Arrange the 1 1/16″ floral DSP onto the smaller Pale Papaya panel being sure to line up the pattern.  Glue the panel to the embossed panel.
• Wrap Pale Papaya & White 1/2″ ribbon around this panel.
• Glue panel to the Basic White card base.
• The bow was adhered with glue dots.
• For the sentiment I used a stamp from the Plentiful Plants stamp set and cut using a label die from the All Dressed Up Dies.  This is popped with dimensionals.

• The inside sentiment is from the newly retired Happy Thoughts stamp set.  I really wish this set would have stayed longer as the sentiments are  great for the inside of cards.

Thanks very much for stopping by today.

Take care,

Rosanne
