T hese cards were made as part of a Mystery Stamping event. The host gives the sizes of paper and product that is needed and it's up to the person making the card(s) to create a card using the instructions given. It's lots of fun!
Project Recipe
These instructions were provided by my upline at our team meeting Friday. She provided the instructions for the mystery card, and I created the card based on the instructions she gave us.
Dimensions:
5.5 x 8.5 inch card base
4 x 5.25 inch DSP or Embossed Card stock
1 x 5 inch strip CS
1 x 3.75 inch strip CS
1 x 3 inch strip of white or vanilla
greeting stamp to fit 1 x 3-inch piece
Oval or other shape approximately 2 x 3 inches
Image to fit onto oval or other shape
ink pads in your choice of colors
embellishments
I folded the card base and burnished it with a bone folder. As an FYI, using a bone folder makes a difference to how well the card stands up.
I put the 1x5 inch of cs along the fold 1/2" from the edge.
I put the 1x3-3/4 inch of DSP perpendicular to the first.
I stamped the pelican onto basic white cardstock using Memento Black ink, and cut it out with the coordinating die.
The instruction was to cut out a 2x3 inch oval or another shape from coordinating cardstock.
I used the Stitched Nested Die (retired).
I used Stampin dimensionals to adhere the image to the cut-out die.
I adhered the layers to overlap both strips of DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I stamped the greeting onto white card stock and I used the coordinating die to cut it out.
I adhered the greeting to the card front using foam adhesive sheets.
Last, I adhered the gems and pebbles to finish it off.
TA-DA!
