Fresh as Field Flowers

My goodness, it's Friday already! Honesty, I don't know how the week's can fly by so quickly! Well, Friday night can only mean one thing -- a new Stamping 411 Sketch to inspire you!

 

This week's sketch is a square card which I always enjoy because it gives you more room! My card uses a bit of Floral District Designer Series Paper, the Field Flowers Stamp Set and three brand-new InColors of Gumball Green, Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple, along with Whisper White. Other supplies used include the Scallop Trim Border and Corner Punches, 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and Stamping Dimensionals.

 

To cut the perfect frame using the Scallop Trim Border and Corner Punches, see my Tutorial HERE! Note that for this card, I started with a piece of Primrose Petals Cardstock measuring 4.75" square (finished size is approximately 4 5/8" square).

 

Here's some Measurements to get you started:

1. Layer One -- Raspberry Ripple Cardstock cut at 5.25 x 10.5", score and fold to make the Card Base.
2. Layer Two -- Primrose Petals Cardstock cut at 4.75" -- punch with Scallop Trim Corner and Border Punches.
3. Layer Three -- Gumball Green Cardstock cut at 4.25" square
4. Layer Four -- Whisper White Cardstock cut at 4" square
5. Layer Five -- DSP cut at 1.5 x 4" square
6. Layer Six -- A Small strip of Gumball Green punched with the Border Punch - measuring 1 x 4"
7. Inside of Card -- Whisper White Cardstock measuring 5" square -- stamp and embellish as desired

 

That will do it for tonight! I hope you have fun with this week's sketch. As the weather gets more beautiful and the summer activities kick into full schedule, I know it gets a little challenging sometime to find some stamping time. My wish for you (and myself) is that you are able to find a little creative time during the weekend!
