Designer’s Tip: Create a fun, modern background by stamping an arrangement of horizontal and vertical shapes. Fill in with small stamps and flourishes.

Instructions:

  1. For the front: Place your card with the fold on the top. Cut the card down to a 5" square. Cover the card with purple/pink watercolor paper. Ink the edges with Dark Peony fluid chalk ink and a cosmetic sponge. Stamp all the shapes and flourishes in vertical and horizontal arrangements as shown. Glue 5" of pink grosgrain ribbon along the card 1 1/4" from the left. Glue 5" of narrow teal grosgrain in the center of the pink. Stamp and emboss a large label on dark purple with silver embossing powder. Do the same on white cardstock, then stamp and emboss "Thinking of You" in the center. Use the matching cutting die to cut out the purple label. On the white label, cut out just the rectangle around the greeting and ink the edges. Glue to the center of the purple frame. Foam tape the label centered on the ribbon, 3/4" from the top. Tie a bow of sheer teal swirl ribbon and glue just below the greeting.
  2. For the inside: Stamp a long label in the center, 1" from the top. Stamp labels to each side of the center label as shown. Stamp "Just because" in the center of the label and add flourishes to fill out the space of the label. Add some small flourishes to the side labels as shown. Glue 5" of teal narrow grosgrain ribbon across the card 2" from the top. Glue a small teal bow on the left of the ribbon as shown.
