Designer Tip: This technique results in a beautiful handmade look—it always reminds me of fabric! Better yet, you can vary the kinds of looks you want depending on the stencil, the ink color and even by opting to give a spritz of water before placing your cardstock down. Because this stencil measures 6”x6”, I cut it apart to use two of the leaves on the card inside.
Instructions:
- For the card front: Place your card with the fold on your left. Glue 5”x3½” Simply Susan purple loops paper on the bottom. Glue 5”x3/8” Simply Susan black patterned paper on the top of the purple paper, keeping top edges even. Glue 5”x3 1/8” Simply Susan green texture paper on the top edge of your card. Ink your card edges black.
- Place the Fancy Feathers stencil on scrap paper and press lightly to apply Peacock Feathers ink to the stencil. Place a 6”x6” white cardstock onto the stencil while the ink is wet and press. Brayer, then remove the cardstock and let dry.
- Cut the stenciled piece to 4¾”x6”, cutting off two of the narrow leaves (save for the inside). Ink the edges black and glue centered on your card.
- Punch a hole along the fold of the card, 1½” from the top. Punch another hole 1½” from the bottom of the card. Thread with black and tan twine and tie in a bow at the front of the card.
- Stamp “Love You” in Black ink on white cardstock, then punch into a ¾” circle and ink the edges. Punch a ¾” black cardstock circle and glue the two together, slightly offset, then foam tape next to the twine bow. Zot™ a knotted piece of black and tan twine at the top of the tag.
- For the card inside: Ink the edges of 5”x1” Simply Susan teal paper black, mat the long edges on Simply Susan purple loops paper with ¾” borders and glue centered on your card.
- Trim around the two leftover leaves from the stenciled piece and glue as shown. Stamp “Just Because” in Black ink on white cardstock and ink the edges black. Circle-punch and glue offset to a circle-punched piece of black cardstock at the leaf base. Zot™ a knotted piece of black and tan twine at the top of the tag.
