Lovely Arrangements Classes

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stampin Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing birthday cards. Fortuitously, today is the last of my March classes where we have been making birthday cards using the gorgeous Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make these cards are:

 

Pop Out Accordion Card

Thick Basic White card base – 8” by 5⅞”” scored on the long-side at 2”, 4” and 6”
Cloud Cover- 5¾” by 1⅞” x 4
Thick Basic White base – 3” by 6” scored at 3”
Secret Sea – 2⅞” by 2 ⅞” x 2
Basic White 2¾” by 2¾” x 2

The 4 pieces of Cloud Cover card were placed in a row, butted up against each other. The leafy sprig was then randomly stamped all over the panels with Cloud Cover ink. The stamped panels were then adhered to the larger Thick White card base, one in each of the sections.
