Potted Geraniums Card

Hello!

This Potted Geranium card is one of the cards we made at my monthly class last week. We made another card with this bundle and I will be posting it in the next week or two. When I think summer plants, geraniums always come to mind and I always have at least one flower pot filled with them on the little patio off my kitchen.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut a piece of the striped paper from the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3″ x 4 1/4″. Run through die cutting & embossing machine with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
  • Stamp geranium leaves with Garden Green ink on piece of Basic White cardstock. This is a two-step stamp set so first, stamp the leaf base, stamping off once before stamping onto the cardstock. Stamp the detailed leaf image over the base.
  • Stamp flower base with Sweet Sorbet ink, stamping off once. Stamp detailed flower image with Real Red ink over flower base.
  • Stamp flower pot with Basic Gray ink, stamping off once for the base image and stamp detailed image over base.
  • Stamp the spike with Basic Gray ink on scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp greeting with Sweet Sorbet ink.
  • Run all stamped images through die cutting machine with the Geraniums Dies. Arrange pieces on the Timeworn Type piece and adhere. Adhere piece to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Cut piece of black & white gingham ribbon, tie into a small bow and adhere to flower pot with a Mini Glue Dot. Embellish with a few Basic Black Classic Matte Dots.
