Hello crafty friends, Janneke here and today I am excited to share these
adorable friendship cards featuring the Inside Greetings Friends stamp set.
For this card project, I started
by die-cutting 6x the Scalloped Square 1 Small from white cardstock, three of which I turned
into grassy borders using our Slimline Nature Border dies. I
decided to make three different colored cards, blending the insides of the
scalloped squares with pastel blue, pink, and green Distress Oxide inks. For
the grass borders, I also blended only the inside with green ink. I masked off
the edges to achieve this, but honestly, it would be even easier to use Stitched Square Dies and stick them on top (I’ve already added them to my Wishlist!).
Next, I stamped the Inside Greetings Friends sentiment in
a shade slightly darker than the background color, then stamped it again 1mm
below in black ink to create a little depth.
I layered the grass borders onto
the blended scalloped squares, tucking in some flowers from the Bunnyville stamp
set behind the grass. From the Gingham Pastels paper, I cut squares slightly larger than the
scalloped ones and rounded the corners with a punch before adhering the
scalloped squares on top.
For each card, I chose a
different cute critter:
On the blue card, the bunnies
from Bunnyville stamp set and the Balloon Numbers stamp
set, on the pink card, the sweet penguins from the Passionate Penguins stamp set and on the green card, the adorable foxes from
the Foxy Friends stamp
set.
Lastly I added the butterflies
also from the Bunnyville stamp
set and the heart lollipop from the Bighearted Bears stamp
set to each card. After coloring all the stamps with Ohuhu markers and adding
highlights with a white gel pen, I adhered them onto the card bases and I
mounted everything onto white cardstock bases, rounding the corners to match.
Cards done, ready to send joy!
Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.
