Adhere this to the inside of your card.While you are doing this, you may opt to go ahead and stamp the same scene on the front of your envelope so that it will coordinate.

Just A Note

 JUST A NOTE

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

  1. Fold and burnish your card base (4 1/4” x 11” scored @ 5 1/2”)
  2. Run one of your (3 3/4” x 5 1/4”) pieces of white cardstock through in the Pressed Flowers embossing folder and the other one(4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) with the Textured Notes Die.
  3. Adhere the embossed piece to your card front. Adhere the other one on the inside. Set aside.
  4. Take your 3 (1” x 4 1/4”) strips of DSP and adhere them on to the (3 3/8’ x 4 1/2”) piece of Petunia Pop cardstock leaving space between each piece and border all the way around.  When you do this, make sure you have the pieces in the correct order.
  5. Take your strip of ribbon and wrap it around the lower portion of this piece adhering it in the back.  I opted to use Tear & Tape adhesive on the back of the ribbon to adhere it down on the front as well.  This is your personal preference.
  6. On white card stock, die cut out your circle then stamp your sentiment on the inside of the circle.  Adhere this centered over the ribbon on the piece you just completed in step 5.  
  7. Adhere this to your card front.
  8. Embellish with a couple of gems.
  9. On white cardstock, stamp your flowers and stems. Then die cut them out. My personal preference is to stamp the “inside” of the flowers first then go over the top with the detailed part.  For the Petunia Pop floral, I stamped off first before stamping so the insides would be a little lighter the I stamped the detailed portion using the full strength of the ink.  For the “grayish” floral, I stamped the inside using Cloud Cover and then I used Secret Sea for the detailed portion.
  10. Die cut the pieces out and then adhere them to the inside of your card.  (You Can also stamp the flowers directly to the inside but I liked this better.
  11. Optional: Adhere the strip of DSP to the envelope flap and trim around.
