Hi
there! Dawn McVey here with a start-to-finish card for you today! I
pulled out lots of new Classic Calico Vol. 3 goodies to put this little love
note for my hubby together. If you want to take this tutorial on the go with you,
click here to download the PDF.
To get started, I adhered 3 patterned papers to a cream card base; one large panel and two narrow strips along the bottom.
Next, I used a decorative edged die to die cut the top edge of a Journal Card.
Then I used a couple Copic Markers to color in the letters, overlapping the colors, just like the letters overlap on the card.
I pulled out the coffee ring stamp from the Back To School stamp set (Yearbook collection) and stamped it using a kraft colored ink.....a perfect creamy coffee color! ;)
Lastly, I stamped the "Love you more" sentiment from the Oh Snap stamp set twice -- once on a wood veneer flag, and again directly on the Journal Card. This way, I could layer the banner right over the top of the sentiment on the Journal Card, creating a bit more dimension on the sentiment. Before moving on, I heat set all of the stamping with a heat tool, to avoid smearing on the slick Journal Card surface.
(supplies : patterned paper - Studio Calico Classic Calico Vol. 3 6x6 paper pad ; Classic Calico Vol. 3 Journal Cards ; Classic Calico Vol. 3 Badges ; Classic Calico Vol. 3 Wood Veneer Flags ; Classic Calico Vol. 3 Oh Snap stamp set ; Yearbook Back to School stamp set ; other - Papertrey Ink Edgers #3 die, rustic jute button twine, kraft ink & dark chocolate ink ; Copic markers)
All that was left to do, was to put it all together....there's a bit of twine tied around the bottom of the card, and the Journal Card was adhered with foam adhesive. The finishing touch was the addition of the "Today" badge!
I hope you've enjoyed today's card and are inspired to get a little crafty yourself!
What a good idea this tutorial ! I love it !
