Today we’re making an Inked & Tiled Quick & Simple Card. This card was so easy to make and only took a few minutes. This stamp set is very easy to use and will make lovely cards for any occasion.
To conserve paper, you can crop the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle die from the middle of Calypso Coral Cardstock then crop with the largest die. It’s also okay to crop with both dies at the same time. Happy Stamping!
Card Directions
- Fold Card in half on the score line, burnish with Bone Folder.
- Adhere a panel of Inked Botanicals DSP to card base front.
- Crop a 3” x 4-1/4” panel of Basic White Cardstock with the 4th largest Deckled Rectangle Die and a 3-1/4” x 4-3/4” panel of Calypso Coral Cardstock with the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Die.
- Stamp the large flower/leaf stamp in Calypso Coral Ink onto the Basic White die cut panel. The leaf stamp was then stamped in Lost Lagoon Ink. Adhere this to the Calypso Coral die cut panel.
- Tie a piece of Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim around the flower panel and make a bow. Adhere this to card front with Stampin’ Dimensional’s.
- The greeting was stamped in Crushed Curry Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, punch with Inked & Tiled Punch. Punch a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock and adhere to back of greeting by offsetting the pointed tips. Adhere to card front with a Dimensional and a Glue Dot.
- To complete the inside, crop Basic White Cardstock with the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle. Stamp the leaves in Lost Lagoon Ink on bottom left corner. The sentiment was stamped in Crushed Curry Ink. Adhere this to a panel of Calypso Coral Cardstock cropped with the largest Deckled Rectangle Die then adhere to card inside.
- Add a piece of Designer Series Paper to Envelope flap, trim off excess paper.
- Embellish card front with the Brushed Brass Butterflies.
