DRAGONFLY FRIENDSHIP CARD

Another very serene card with light colors, and a simple message.  Obviously the message can be changed to whatever you need it to be.  Nice and simple. 

DRAGONFLY FRIENDSHIP CARD

Cased from Laura Seki


HOW TO ASSEMBLE: 

  1. Take the smoky slate piece of cad stock and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine in the embossing folder.  Set aside.
  2. Take your piece of white cardstock and using the die cut machine, die cut out three rectangles.
  3. Stamp the images on the 3 rectangles with the smoky slate ink. (Optional) Stamp the inside of your card and the front of your envelope.
  4. Adhere the three stamped strips to the strips of Balmy Blue Cardstock.
  5. Spacing these three strips out, adhere them to your piece of embossed cardstock. Adhere this to the card front using dimensional. Set aside.
  6. Stamp the dragonfly in Basic Gray on the small piece of blue cardstock then punch out the dragonfly.
  7. Stamp the sentiment on the strip of smoky slate cardstock and using the banners punch punch out the two ends.  ( I always recommend turning the punch ver to make sure you aren’t crooked or that you don’t accidentally punch part of the words.)
  8. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using dimensional.
  9. Take your piece of vellum first rub with the embossing buddy.  
  10. Stamp the vellum using Versamark ink, then sprinkle with the embossing powder making sure to cover the entire dragonfly.  (Wipe the stamp off asap please.) Then, using the heat tool set the embossing powder.  It will get shiny. Punch the dragonfly out using the punch.
  11. Attach the vellum dragonfly to the blue dragon fly using dimensional. Adhere to the card front.
  12. Add Rhinestones.

OCEANFRONT SUPPORT

 I purchased this stamp set months ago and never got around to using it and I decided it was time to give it a spin and I LOVED the scene it creates.  You can add touches from the Friends are Like Seashells, Let's Set Sail, Heron Habitat, Lighthouse Point, Seasons of Chic, Paradise Palms and even Waves of Inspiration stamp sets to create wonderfully unique cards. Such a peaceful card.

OCEANFRONT SUPPORT 


HOW TO ASSEMBLE:

  1. Create your “scene” on the piece of white cardstock .  (Optional) stamp the envelope front to coordinate with your stamped scene. (Also optional) stamp a little image on the inside of your card.
  2. Run the scene through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the larger of the stitched rectangle dies.
  3. Wrap the linen thread around the stamped scene twice and tie a bow in the front. Now adhere this to the larger piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock. Set aside.
  4. Run the small piece of white cardstock through the machine using the smaller rectangle die.  Now, stamp your sentiment on it.  Adhere this to the small piece of coastal cabana cardstock. 
  5. Place these on your card front making sure to space the two properly then adhere using dimensionals®
  6. That’s all there is to it!
