Have You Fallen in Love with Hand-Penned Petals Yet?




Sometimes we "like" a stamp set or a designer series paper and then when we get it, we just fall in love!  That is what happened to me with Hand-Penned Petals and the coordinating designer series paper.  This set is great for the stamper who struggles with lining up the two-step stamps perfectly because these do not but it still looks awesome!  

This card is a simple "fun fold" card.  Just slide the front flap of the card on two sides.  I used a 1/2" window sheet strip to hold the two outside flaps together and to support the ribbon.  This way you can open them leaving the center flap to be a second part to open.  My tip for the inside of the card.  The Basic Black background is a standard 4" x 5 1/4" piece and I just attached the three inside pieces - less measuring needed!

This is what happens when you are indecisive!

I decided I wanted to highlight the new Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks at my recent class.  So I started out with the card above.  But then I saw a card that used the storybook fold and thought that would be perfect for this card as well. 


Since I couldn't decide which way I liked the card better, I offered that they could make the card whichever way they wanted.  Which would you choose?

The gold strip was made using the gilded leafing which I love!  I also used a sponge dauber and liquid glue while the mask was still in place to get the small round portions ready to adhere the gilded leafing there.  A word of caution - clean your mask right away!
