I hope you are enjoying the new Annual Catalog.  The layout is different but in a specific way.  It is planned out for the different types of crafters.  I especially like that all of the Suites and Bundles are together.  And did you see the new Join Offer.  All of the new In Colors are a Free addition to the Starter Kit.  See the bottom of the post for this information!

Today is the second day of the new catalog and I am using Online Exclusives products.  I am not really sure how that happened.  But I have a year to share all of the fun and new items with you.

Papers

This card is really all about the paper!  This piece of Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper is gorgeous.  All of the prints in this pack are fabulous and have awesome landscape scenes.  This card was a way to really showcase the paper.  And it being a 6X6 pack really works well.

I paired the DSP with Granny Apple Green card stock for the card base.  And Lemon Lolly for the layer.  Both pull those colors from the DSP so well.  I love bright colors, but I believe a dark green would work just as well.  I am in a Spring and Bright mood lately.

Stamps

The stamp set is only used on the tag and the inside.  It is the Garden Meadow stamp set which matches the DSP.  There is a Die set as well but I did not utilize it on this card.  When I first stamped the sentiment, I realized that it needed something to help it pop.  The DSP is so busy that the sentiment alone just blended in.  So I went with the addition of the small floral which matches the DSP somewhat.  It is stamped and then colored with Stampin’ Blends.

Dies and Finishes

To add more depth to the sentiment, I layered two sizes of the Deckled Rectangles Dies. Actually I had to trim them a bit.  I hope you know what I am referring to when I say trim them.  It means to cut the shape and then put it back in the die to shorten it.  There are two different sizes of the Dies used.  And to finish off the sentiment layer I used one of the Adhesive Backed Birds and Dragonflies embellishments.  Actually there are a few other dragonflies floating around the flowers.  And the final touch was a small bow using the Bakers Twine 3 Color Combo.

Inside View

This card is a new favorite of a Gift Card Holder.  I love the simplicity.  But also that you can add the gift card without removing the outside packaging.  Sometimes that is where the dollar amount is located.  Granted it does add more thickness for mailing.  So keep that in mind.  The card works with our without the packaging.  Take a look.

 

 

Directions

The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 on the 8 1/2 side.  Next turn the card counter clockwise and over to 4 1/4 on the Paper Trimmer.  (Your score line is now horizontal in the middle of the trimmer.)  Cut from the edge down to the score line.  After folding and burnishing you have the small flap at the bottom.  Add Tear & Tape to the bottom edge of the little flap and the outer edge.  Place it right up to the edge.  Add a gift card in place when you adhere this and that gives you a little more room so it is not as tight of a fit.
