Hi! It's Holly posting today, and I just had to play with my new Chevron
Stripe background stamp that I just bought. I think this is going to be a
well-loved favorite! The products from Classy Cards 'n Such that I used on this
card are:
Chevron Stripe Background Stamp (JustRite)
Birthday Sentiments set (JustRite)
Dancing Doily Lace border (Cheery Lynn Designs die)
French Pastry Doily Die (Cheery Lynn Designs die)
I stamped the Chevron Stripes with vanilla ink directly onto my chocolate
card base. I didn't cover the entire card - just the bottom 2/3rds of the
card. The doily was cut from StarDream Fuse Azalea cardstock (a gorgeous
shimmery pinky mauve color), and then I cut off the top third of that doily.
That was adhered to the upper part of my card. The lace border is cut from
kraft cardstock and adhered below the doily. I cut a length of Chalk White seam
binding, scrunched it up in my hands, misted it with a little water, and
scrunched it up some more. Then I tied the seam binding around the card between
the doily and the lace border. The sentiment was stamped with chocolate ink
onto vanilla cardstock and cut out with a circle die. I cut out a scallop
circle from chocolate cardstock and adhered that behind the sentiment. This is
then adhered to the card directly over the seam binding.
You don't have to use the entire die cut when you cut something out. I
only used part of the French Pastry Doily die cut on this card, and I still have
the other piece that I can use on another card later. If you think a particular
die will be too big, think about how you can use just half of it. You can get
even more mileage from your dies when you "think outside the box."
Great card, Holly!!! Thanks so much!
