I’m a big fan of quick and easy. The hardest part of making this card is choosing from all the gorgeous patterns in the Moonlit Flora Designer Series package. Once you’ve made those decisions, you’re practically finished with the card.

Stamp the framed image on Old Olive card stock with Old Olive ink and punch it out. Emboss your greeting on Golden Glow card stock and die cut it with the smallest Nested Essentials rectangle dies – it happens to be a perfect fit! Wind the ribbon back and forth between those two pieces, no need to tie a knot. Stampin’ Seal holds it in place!

I find it easiest to punch all my rectangles and arrange them on my front panel, then adhere them. When I shared this project with a group earlier this month, there were a lot of variations on the layout of these shapes. Go ahead and have some fun! Everything you need is in the Online Store.

EXCITING TIMES BACKGROUNDS

Graphic design has always fascinated me. I’m definitely nowhere near an expert, but I like to play with shape and color. I was inspired by an entry to Colour INKspirations #208 and created a very close CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone) using a different color palette.

If you’d like to replicate this concept, I have a few tips for you:

  • Choose 3 colors with similar color value (all light/medium/dark)
  • Create continuity by using the same color for the card base, sentiment, and accents
  • Use a Stampin’ Blend around the edge of the Bordered Rectangle punched sentiment to create a faux layer
  • Take a look at the 3 photos below for help in placing each color!

Does that help? I hope so!!

The Exciting Times bundle is currently showing as low inventory, so now is a good time to add it to your cart. Don’t forget the Stampin’ Blend to coordinate with your color palette – we’ve got all the colors!
