I originally saw this card style whilst surfing the internet before Christmas, but it had no directions of how to make it. When I went to re-look for it two months later as I had a special occasion, my Nan’s 90th birthday, that I stumbled across directions of how to make it on two separate blogs (here and here) – so then I made a practise card, her card, another one and thought I’d do a video to share just how easy and addictive this card format really was!
I used the designer series paper Gold Soiree (it was on sale at 25% off recently during the Weekly Deals – love those!), the hostess stamp set Bloom With Hope and coloured with Blendabilities for the flowers and sentiment and the new Something Borrowed embellishments with Calypso Coral chevron ribbon for the front adornment.
The cutting and scoring measurements are below, but I’d recommend watching the video initially as it will probably save you some confusion and card stock that gets cut or stuck wrong!
Base whisper white card stock cut to 15cm x 30cm
With the base panel orientate it portrait and cut from 2.5cm to 12.5cm, lift the cutting blade and cut from 17.5cm to 27.5cm. Do this on the other side to get the same on both sides.
Orientate the base panel landscape and score the panel at 2.5cm from 0cm to 2.5cm, lift the scoring blade and score from 12.5am to 15cm i.e. you are scoring from the top and bottom of the card to the cut line that you made at 2.5 cm from the edge of the card. Repeat this scoring from the edge of the card to the cut lines top and bottom of the panel at 12.5cm, 17.5cm and 27.5cm.
Orientate the base panel landscape and score across the entire panel from 0-15cm at 5cm, 10cm, 20cm and 25cm.
Card stock sizes for the layering:
Whisper White: 2 pieces 15cm x 5cm, 1 piece 8.5cm x 8.5cm
Garden Green: 6 pieces 2cm x 4.5cm, 2 pieces 14.5cm x 4.5cm, 2 pieces 9.5cm x 4.5cm, 1 piece 9.5cm x 9.5cm.
