Sometimes I like to case a card from another demo if I really like it and this is one from Stampin' Annie. It's a gift-card holder and I hadn't had a chance to play with this set yet. I love the colors in the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. Sometime, we just don't have enough time to play with our DSP or we tend to hoard it. Here are my instructions for making this card:
1. The base of the card is Pretty Peacock
cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 10-3/8” and score at 5-1/2” and 8-3/8”. For the gift card holder, punch a little half
circle with the 1-1/2” Circle Punch. Cut Mint Macaron cardstock at 2-5/8” x 4” and
adhere to the front. Cut the Best
Dressed DSP (stripes) at 2-1/2” x 3-7/8” to adhere to the Mint Macaron on the
front.
2. For the inside, cut Whisper White cardstock
at 4” x 5-1/4” and then cut a strip of the Mint Macaron (shoes) DSP for the
right side.
3. For inside, before adhering the gift card
holder section with Tear and Tape to leave room for a gift card, add another
Mint Macaron (shoes) DSP cut at 1-3/4” x 4”.
4. Die cut 2-7/8” Circle Stitched Shapes die
from Whisper White cardstock. Ink up the
sentiment “life is short, buy the shoes” with Memento Black ink at the top of
the white circle.
5. On a scrap of Whisper White, ink up two
shoes with Memento Black ink and color them in with the Purple Posy Stampin’
Blends. Die cut with the All Dressed-Up
Dies. Use the Wink of Stella on them.
6. Cut one Scallop Circle from Mint Macaron
cardstock using Scalloped Circle from Layering Circles Dies. Adhere together.
7. Add the die cut shoes to the circle and use
Dimensional on the one in front.
8. Adhere glue to the side that will attach to
the front of the card.
Products I used except for some of the dies that will be carried over are not on this list, but will be in the new catalog but reconfigured with different codes:
