Hello!

Today’s card features the Layering Leaves stamp set and coordinating Bough Punch. This is the customer thank you card I sent out in May. It was also one of the class projects I recently did for a group of women that had never stamped before. Layering Leaves is one of the first stamp sets I purchased when the new annual catalog went live. The lovely images and greetings are so versatile! I used the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, which is an Online Exclusive product.

Here is how I made the cards.

• Card base: Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
• Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to card front. Cut piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″.
• Stamp one of the large leaf designs with Lost Lagoon ink and one of the small leaf designs with Soft Sea Foam ink on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and punch out with the Boughs punch.
• Cut a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock at 2″ x 3 1/2″. Stamp greeting with Lost Lagoon ink. Run through die cutting machine with the smaller oblong shaped die from the Something Fancy dies.
• Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon at 5″ and wrap sides around the DSP piece. This ribbon is so pretty when you see it in person and it is very easy to work with!
• Adhere the leaves to the card front with mini glue dots. Slide the leaves under the ribbon. Adhere the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. With the 3/4″ leftover strip of DSP, cut the width to 4″ and adhere to cardstock as a way to decorate the inside of the card. Stamp greeting of your choice and adhere to card.
