Stampin’ Up! has a variety of specials happening now. You can find
them listed after the directions for this card.
PIECES NEEDED
- Card Base – size of choice.
- Mat #1 – solid color
cut fit your card base. - Mat #2 – DSP
Cut to size to fit Mat #1.
This mat is created by cutting 2 pieces of coordinating DSP at a diagonal.
I cut mine 2″ down from the top, but you can cut the diagonal any where along the long edge. Note: Both pieces of DSP should be facing up and cut at the same time to ensure the DSP you want showing is correct. - Strip of coordinating DSP – 4″ x 3/4″ (1.9cm, or to fit interior mat size).
- Interior Mat
STAMPING & DIE CUTTING
I began by stamping the images from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and Sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set on Very Vanilla scrap:
- 1 large flower and 1 medium open flower in Crushed Curry
(Outline full strength and filler 2nd generation Crushed Curry) - 2 medium flowers and 2 small flower in Calypso Coral
(Outline full strength and filler 2nd generation) - 2 leaf pairs in Coastal Cabana
- 2 long leaf branches in Lost Lagoon
- Sentiment in Calypso Coral
When all stamping was complete I positioned and secures all coordinating dies from the Two-Tone Flora and Charming Sentiment Dies around the images and ran them through the SCEM (Stampin’ Cut, and Emboss Machine). I repeated this process until all images were die cut.
ASSEMBLE THE CARD COVER
- Line up DSP pieces to create Mat #2. Carefully flip mat over and tape them together.
- Add Tear & Tap to the back of the DSP Matte on the long edge where the 2 pieces of DSP meet.
- Flip mat over and add the ribbon along the diagonal seam and secure to back of mat. If ribbon is shear, add a piece of card stock, in the same color as card base and cut to the width of ribbon, across DSP seam before adding ribbon.
- Adhere 2 pieces of coordinating DSP to Mat #1.
- Adhere compiled mat to card base.
- Arrange and adhere the focal image. I glued the foliage directly to the mat and popped up the floral images.
- Adhere the sentiment. My sentiment is glued directly to the mat.

Don't forget to decorate the envelope!
For the inside of this card I simply adhered the strip of DSP to the paper across the bottom of the interior mat. I then added 1 medium, 2 small flowers, and 1 leaf pair to further embellish the bottom.
I used a Very Vanilla Envelope to match my card. To decorate it I simply stamped a single floral image on both the flap and the front lower left corner.
