INSTRUCTIONS
Trim the Blue Patterned card base from the kit in half. Trim the Night of Navy card base in half.
Glue the Blue Patterned layer (now 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" to the front of the Basic White card. It should cover the full front of card.
Trim the Night of Navy layer to 3-3/4 x 5" and then die cut with the largest frame lace die from the Darling Details dies.
Cut up one Boho Blue envelope until you have the front piece and trim that to 4 x 5-1/4"
Lay the Blue Frame over it as the guide to place the smaller lace die in the center. Remove blue frame and die cut the small lace from into the Boho Blue layer.
Die cut the vase (using the Welcome Inn Add-On Dies) in the envelope paper as well.
Die cut the outline flower bouquet in Night of Navy cardstock (or using one of the card bases if you don't have coordinating cardstock yet). Cut it again in the envelope paper, set aside while the die is still in the plates from the machine (this will keep the piece together and make it easier for paper piecing later).
Glue the Boho Blue Layer to the card. Place the strip dimensionals from the kit on the die cut Night of Navy frame and place center over the lace frame on the Boho Blue layer you just glued down. You should now have two layers of lace frames.
Stamp your vase on the blue die cut vase in Night of Navy ink.
Glue the Night of Navy die cut bouquet toward the top of the center lace frame. Save enough room to glue the vase at the bottom. I used dimensionals for the vase but not for the flowers.
Next, and this is optional, you can paper piece the Boho Blue petals into the Night of Navy Outline Die of Bouquet Flowers. Love this paper piecing technique. I recommend the putty side of your Take Your Pick tool to help keep this process easy. You just add a dot of glue and place the petal inside the flowers.
Stamp "Welcome" in Night of Navy ink on a white banner die cut. I used the die cut angled banner from the Something Fancy Dies.
Glue just under the vase but where the lace can still show through.
Finish with the dot embellishments from the kit. I placed one on either side of the sentiment.
(I'll admit this is one of my favorite alternates!)
CARD MEASUREMENTS
- Card Base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" Score: 4-1/4" (Basic White Cardstock)
- Calypso Coral Card Layer (Paper Pumpkin Card Base Cut to 2-1/2 x 4")
- Calypso Coral Strips (4) (1 x 4") Calypso Coral Cardstock
- Petal Pink Strips: (4) (1 x 4") (Petal Pink Cardstock)
- Basic White Strip (1 x 4") (Basic White Cardstock)
- Die Cut Flowers (4) Welcome Inn Dies (Basic White Cardstock)
- Die Cut Leaf Branches (4) Welcome Inn Dies (Basic White Cardstock)
- 1 fussy cut fox (optional) from the same card pattern to use as embellishment
INSTRUCTIONS
Glue the pattern piece to the card front on the top portion.
Die cut 8 strips of cardstock in the straight lace die from Darling Details Dies. I cut 4 in Petal Pink and 4 Calypso Coral. Use what you have on hand.
Note: Calypso Coral is a coordinating color for this month's kit. I added Petal Pink to incorporate a 3rd color.
I actually had larger strips and just trimmed them to 4" but you can also cut to 4" and then die cut (whatever you prefer).
Glue lace die cut strips to the card starting at the bottom of the pattern piece. Curl the top lace layer upward so you can glue and tuck the next piece of lace underneath. Repeat until 8 strips have been glued. You can also leave these flat. I liked adding some dimension by popping up the lace.
Stamp the "Thank you for your hospitality" stamp from the Paper Pumpkin kit in the center of the Basic White strip in Calypso Coral ink.
Stamp two flowers in Calypso Coral and two flowers in Petal Pink from the single flower stamp in the Paper Pumpkin kit. This has a coordinating die from the add-on dies. Die cut.
Die cut 4 branches from the add-on dies in Basic White. Fussy cut one fox from the leftover pattern paper (that was originally a card base in the Paper Pumpkin kit). Add the flowers, fox and branches decoratively on either side of the sentiment on the white strip as well.
