…and one more in square form
You might know that I like square cards a lot! So I made another sample for my sketch challenge, this time as a square card. I felt like I was channeling Cindy, aka. Mothermark. She is amazing with her use of hardware. I can’t believe I used 9 brads on this card.
My card base is my a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of chocolate chip cardstock folded in half. I used the some Linen Prints as well as So Saffron Prints Designer paper as my layers. Linen Prints is becoming my favorite Designer paper. I just love the colors and prints of this paper pack.
The stamp is from the Level 1 hostess set Event Full. I stamped it in Brown Palette ink and colored it in with Chocolate chip and Cameo Coral Classic ink and aqua painter. I added some dazzling diamond to the cake with two way glue.
The scallop border on the So Saffron paper is made with the new smaller corner rounder. The bottom corners are punched with the ticket corner punch. The top left corner is made with the new photo corner punch and Old Olive Cardstock. I stamped the background stamp from Oh So Lovely over it and sponged the edges in Old Olive (I still had a piece stamped like that from yesterday’s card). I paper pierced the pink designer paper on the top and left hand side.
The three little flowers are punched with the Three for you punch. Did you hear about the August Special Stampin’ Up! offers in August? You purchase the Three for you Punch kit and you will receive 30 textured Love notes ($12.95 value) for free. There will be 10 Wild Wasabi, 10 Purely Pomegranate and 10 So Saffron Love Notes with 30 small vanilla envelopes in the pack. You won’t be able to get this Love Notes pack any other way.
The card seemed a little bare on the top right, so I corner rounded just that corner! I also added a little ribbon flag on the top right of the center image with another brad. The ribbon from the new Fairy Tale Ribbon Originals pack.
Okay…I promise I will move on from this layout now. I can’t promise that I will ever move on from my chocolate chip use though. I can’t keep myself from using it.
