I love learning new techniques and unique ways to create cards. This one is so easy! And it doesn't look like your typical card.
It can be made as a landscape card like the top three or in portrait style like the red and green Christmas tree card.
The dimensions for the landscape card are
card base - 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2 & 6 3/4
Designer Series Paper cut at 1 x 4 and 4 x 4
The dimensions for the portrait card are
card base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 & 5 1/2
Designer Series Paper cut at 1 x 5 1/4 and 2 3/4 x 5 1/4
The extra piece of DSP is optional.I used the Stitched So Sweetly dies to cut mine on the two moose cards and the Ornate Layers Dies for the Christmas tree card.
Here's a description of each card.
This card uses Crumb Cake card base and Plaid Tidings for the 2 DSP pieces on the front. I stamped the image from the Ornate Style stamp set with Terracotta Tile onto Very Vanilla cardstock. I then used several Fall blends to color the flowers with...light & dark Cajun Craze, light & dark Pumpkin Pie, and light & dark Daffodil Delight. The leaves are light and dark Just Jade. The centers are dark Cinnamon Cider. I then sprayed the whole bouquet with a mixure of rubbing alcohol and Gold shimmer paint in a spritzer to add a sparkle to it. The leaves behind the popped up bouquet are from the Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper. The ribbon is from a retired combo set.
The portrait card cardbase is Whisper White cardstock and uses the Tis the Season paper set. The Perfectly Plaid stamp set and punch are used for the trees. The trees are stamped in Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler onto Whisper White cardstock, both of which coordinate with the DSP. The piece under the trees is cut from the Ornate Layers die set and makes a beautiful backdrop for the trees. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I pulled the strings out of the Whisper White Flax ribbon for the bow. The bottom photo shows how the Side Book Fold card opens.
The other two cards are demonstrated in the video. Plaid Tidings DSP are used for both. The black and white card has Gray Granite ribbon and the Pretty Peacock card has Mint Macaron ribbon.
I hope that you will give this card a try! I'd love to see a photo of your card so please post it here in Comments or on the StampinDeDesDoins FB page.
