Other Supplies Used: Smooth White Cardstock, Die Cutting Machine, Bone Folder, Glossy Accent, Sharp Scissors, and Sequence.
Instructions: The ready top fold card measures, 7″ X 7″. For making the card base you will need two pieces of cardstock measuring 7″ X 7″ and 7 1/2″ X 7″. Score the second piece on 1/2″ and crease well using a bone folder, making a hinge. Add glue on the hinge and secure the first piece on top.
Choose the paper from the Floral Frames Paper Collection and cut it measuring 6 1/2″ by 6 1/2″ card mat. Next, layer it on the card front using foam dots. Next cut a 6″ by 6″ card panel from the same Paper Collection and cut the inner square frame with a paper cutter. Mat it on white cardstock making a delicate border of 1/16″ all around the border. Add dimensions using double-sided tape.
Cut 6 pieces of corners each from Luxe gold cardstock and white cardstock. Adhere white die cuts on each of the golden die-cut to add strength. Cut circle frames, one each from gold and white cardstock using second and third outer dies from Circle Basic Die Set. Adhere them together keeping gold on the top. Cut a circle from the same paper collection using the second die of the Circle Basic die set. Stamp the sentiment from Just For You Sentiments Cling Stamp Set using Forget me not archival ink and adhere it to cover the window of the circle frame.
Prepare a doily by adhering golden corner die cuts around the window frame. Glue them from the back using strong tacky glue. Layer the prepared doily on the card front as shown.
For Sunflowers, stamp multiple images of flower petals using Red Geranium Archival ink and cut these using its coordinating dies. Ink the flower petals using the same and shape them using a Deluxe flower shaping kit. Using the crushing technique, create calyx and complete the flower by securing them behind each flower for the complete flower look. Add seed beads using Glossy Accent to complete the flower.
Stamp 2 sets of leaves using Leafy Accent stamp and Olive Green Archival ink and cut them using its coordinating die. Color the leaves using the same inks and shape them using a deluxe flower shaping kit.
Stamp, color and cut a few wisteria flowers using Bright Tangelo Archival ink and shape them using a flower shaping kit. Add flower pollens using a glossy accent and use these flowers as fillers.
Once, all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown and complete the card by adding the sentiment from Celebrate Love Sentiments Cling Stamp Set.
