Sending thoughts & love in a hand stamped card is the kindest way to express your feelings. This card expresses gentle concern with the soft tones of MELLOW MOSS™ and CLOSE TO COCOA™ cardstock. With all the Stampin' Up! Exclusive matching colors, any project goes together quickly. One of my most favorite things about Stampin' Up! is all the coordinating product for any paper crafting project.
Mukibug Tips:
- The jumbo scallop trim on the front of the card was created from punching VERY VANILLA™ circles using the 3/4" CIRCLE PUNCH™. I ran a strip of SNAIL™ permanent adhesive across the back of the CLOSE TO COCOA™ and then adhered the circles starting at the center and moving out to the edges so the circles/scallops are symmetrical.
- I added the VERY VANILLA™ layered cardstock on the inside of the card to stamp the sentiment on. It helps it to stand out better and also allows for a brighter surface to write a note.
- Your eyes are not playing tricks on you, the ALWAYS ARTICHOKE™ leaves I rubber stamped the second time, after stamping the tree, were so close to the original Close to Cocoa leaves, that it plays tricks on your eyes. (Maybe a 3rd stamping of leaves is needed here!)
