Happy Friday everyone! Today I am sharing a congratulations card that I created for our Son and Daughter-In-Law who are expecting their first child (our first Grandchild). We are so excited!
- Cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" for the card base and score it down the middle using the Stampin' Trimmer.
- Cut a piece of All My Love Designer Series Paper (Page 5 of the 2019 Occasions catalog) to 3 1/4" x 4" using the Stampin' Trimmer for part of the matting and a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to 2" x 4" for the other part. Run the Flirty Flamingo cardstock piece through the Big Shot in the Lacy Dynamic Embossing Folder (Page 11 of the 2019 Occasions catalog)
- Cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo Ribbon (Page 5 of the 2019 Occasions catalog) to approximately 5" long.
- Using one of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits (Page 28 of the 2019 Occasions catalog) cut a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the next smallest Rectangle Stitched Framelit.
- I used the image of the expecting lady and stamped it onto the piece of Whisper White cardstock in Memento ink.
- I colored her hair using Crumb Cake, Golden Honey and Soft Suede ink and an Aqua Painter.
- Next I colored in the lady using my aqua painter brush and the Flirty Flamingo ink pad.
- For the flower/leaves I fussy cut them out from a scrap of All My Love Designer Series Paper (Page 5 of the 2019 Occasions catalog) and used Clear Wink of Stella to give them a little shimmer.
- Now it's time to assemble your card. Wrap the Flirty Flamingo Ribbon around the matting pieces, (you may run a small piece of Snail Adhesive to the back of the pieces to hold the ribbon in place).
- Adhere the layers to the card base using either Snail Adhesive or Multipurpose Liquid glue. I used Stampin' Dimensionals behind the Soft Sea foam and the flower/leaves pieces to give them dimension.
Below are the products that I used. You may click on any photo to enlarge it and see the details.
