I'm here to help with inspiration for holiday crafting!
It’s always FUN to find a new way to use a favorite stamp set.
Today I’m sharing an idea on how to make a Christmas card using the sunflower and coordinating dies from the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
1. Fold Card Base; burnish crease with Bone Folder. Set aside.
2. Stamp Sunflower with Memento ink on Whisper White card stock scrap; stamp two leaf images with Memento on Whisper White card stock scrap. Color with Blends, using Light and Dark colors to add depth, then cut out with Sunflower Dies:
- Flower: Daffodil, Granite, Mango, Red, Suede
- Leaf: Spruce, Suede
3. Assemble card as follows:
- Attach Shaded Spruce card stock with Seal to card base
- Attach Designer Series Paper to Whisper White card stock with Seal; wrap Red Twine around, tie Bow and secure with Glue Dots; attach to card with Seal
- Add Sunflower with Dimensionals
- Add one Leaf with Dimensionals, placing over Sunflower; tuck other Leaf under Sunflower and first Leaf, securing in place with Liquid Glue
- Stamp MERRY CHRISTMAS with Real Red ink.
4. Decorate inside of card as desired; decorate Envelope if you choose.
