February Card Challenge, Day 2

A fellow demonstrator named Nancy Hoetker makes monthly videos featuring a Mystery Stamping session. Nancy provides the dimensions to pre-cut the materials and then we put them all together on YouTube. I don't take part in the live version, but often watch and play along afterwards.

This design is card 1 (Nancy usually makes 2 cards each month) of the September 2021 session. I forgot that there were two cards so I made four from the first design, although I mixed it up a bit and put my own touches to them.

Today I used Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper for all four cards. The two stamp sets are Adorable Owl Stamp Set (FREE with a $90 purchase) and Silly Goose Stamp Set. And here they are...







Materials

Coloured cardstock, scored in half: 14.9 x 21 cm (half A4)
Designer Series Paper: 9.5 x 13.9 cm (remember to orient the design according to whether you're doing a landscape or portrait card)
Different DSP (choose a more solid pattern): 2.5 x 13.9 cm
Basic White or Very Vanilla Cardstock: 2 pieces measuring 10 x 14.4 cm plus a scrap for stamping
Ribbon: 18 cm

Instructions (These are for the landscape version, adjust as required for a portrait one)

1. Add the large piece of DSP to one of the Basic White (or Very Vanilla) layers.

2. Add the small strip of DSP to the bottom of the same Basic White layer.

3. Wrap ribbon around the Basic White/DSP layer and secure on the back.

4. Add the Basic White/DSP/ribbon layer to the coloured cardstock base.

5. Stamp image on Basic White (or Very Vanilla) scrap and cut out with dies/punches/Paper Snips. If your image needs to be coloured, do that now.

6. Add stamped image to the right side of your card, on tope of the ribbon, with Stampin' Dimensionals.

7. Stamp a sentiment on a Basic White (or Very Vanilla) scrap.

8. Punch or cut sentiment layer and add to the top, left side of your card front with Dimensionals.

9. Stamp as desired on your remaining Basic White (or Very Vanilla) layer and add it to the inside of your card with adhesive.

10. Add embellishments to your card front, if desired.

Come back tomorrow for Day 3.

Happy crafting!
