This cute little card
was made with my daughter in mind, and all Mother and Daughters separated at
Christmas time.
I cut three of squares in decreasing sizes using the Spellbinders Grand Squares.
Having folded all the
squares in half to create triangles I set about blending one of the squares with Tim Holtz Dried Marigold Distress Ink and edged the reverse side.
The card
stock I used is textured so it gave a nice uneven look to it.
I cut three more small squares (about 2 inches wide) and blended them with ink on the reverse and sides.
Using the tree from
Crimson Cloud Script Trees Stamp Set
and the Dried Marigold ink I stamped
the top half of the third largest square which you see standing up.
The three largest squares were layered together to create the card base.
Using the
sentiments from the same stamp set I stamped “WITH LOVE – FROM FAR AWAY” on one of the 2 inch squares and attached the point of the triangle - making sure only to glue the bottom half.
The other two 2 inch folded squares were attached behind the greeting. I created some little parcels from card stock and tied them with string (tip:
for the sake of your sanity, fix down with a sticky dot whilst you do this!). The parcels were arranged and attached to the upright backs of the orange squares.
Along the crease, to
increase the 3D effect I cut out a strip from Edgeabilities laid and glued behind
the parcels.
On the outside of the card, I punched and attached a decorative border and embellished with gems.
With another sentiment from the set I stamped
a tag with “Darling Daughter” once again with Dried Marigold and tied with more
string – done!
My Darling Daughter
unfortunately cannot have this little card now as she will have seen it!!
But I hope the rest of
you enjoy it?
