Pretty Medallion & Graceful Tiles Happy Anniversary Card. Crafty Collaborations Share it Sunday Blog Hop June 2022
Good Afternoon Everyone,
Hope you are having a fabulous Sunday? We have had a bitty day today of household jobs and doing things with the girls in the Garden. After having Dave off work for two weeks, tomorrow see's his return to the office and I'm really Sad about that! We have the best holiday, one week away in Scarborough and then a week at home with a few Day trips thrown in. Hoping my lotto number come up so we can do it always!! haha.
But I digress, on to today's Project. It's the last Sunday of the month so that means its Crafty Collaborations Share it Sunday - no theme, just showcase something you have made! So, I wanted to share this pretty card I made using the Pretty Medallions Background Stamp. It is DIVINE. Anyone who knows me knows I love to colour and this was a 'straight to cart' stamp set for sure! And to be honest so was the Graceful Tiles stamp set where the sentiment comes from.
Measurements
Basic Black Card Stock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"
1pc - 3" x 5 7/8"
1pc - scrap for the sentiment
Basic White Card Stock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1pc - 3" x 5 7/8" approx
-------------------------------------------
Take the larger piece of Basic Black card stock and fold along the score line to create a tent fold card. Add the Basic White card stock to the inside.
On the 3" wide piece of Basic White, stamp the Medallion image in Memento ink. The stamp is much larger than your strip, so make sure that you have something underneath to protect your surfaces from the ink and try to get it as central as you can.
Once fully dry colour with your Stampin Blends - I chose to go bright and bold, but depending on your recipient you really can tailor this to whomever is to receive it.
Now fussy cut around the top and bottom edges so you keep the 3" width. Add this piece to the Basic Black strip and make sure its line up and central. You may need to trim off a tiny stray edge but it should fit perfectly with the width.
On the strip of Basic Black stamp the sentiment from Graceful Tiles in versamark ink and cover with white embossing powder. Heat set and trim so that you can adhere to the medallion and have it sit flush with the 3" edge.
Add this whole panel to the centre card front with Black Stampin Dimensionals. This shows the lift and gives dimension, but with them being black they blend in with the card.
I really hope you have enjoyed today's card. The design is simple and you could switch up the sentiment so this could be given for all sorts of occasions. Please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop for some more amazing paper crafting inspiration
