Hello and Welcome!!!
Watch video tutorial here!!!
Let’s use our banner/flag dies to create a unique and easy background for our card! We will use the Ai Flag Double Stitched Dies (5133) to create the little banners in two different sizes. For papers, we will be using the Ai Easter Bunny Paper Pack (6036) which has lots of florals, dots, stripes and plaids and will give us a nice variety of patterns and colors for this background. This is also a great way to use up all of your little paper scraps in a fun, new way!
This card was inspired by the current Ai “Blossoms and Blooms” Blog Challenge which is to create card or project that includes floral stamps, papers, embellishments, or anything else floral that you might like!
Once we have die cut the banners from a variety of papers, we can then cut a piece of white cardstock at 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and start adding the banners. To line up the banners, I found it easiest to mark the center of each side of the white cardstock with a pencil (on all four sides) and then line up the larger floral banners by centering the “V” shape of the banner with that center pencil mark. Next, we can add the smaller banners to fill in between the larger ones. I will show you this easy way to line up these banners in today’s video.
Next, we will cut the circles for the center of the card using the Ai Circle Double Stitched Dies (5064). This will give us that nice, stitched border which will coordinate nicely with the banner/flag dies.
Now we can stamp the teacup and spoon from some pattern papers. I’ll show you how to cut and layer these in the video.
Let’s stamp the “BEAU-TEA-FUL!” sentiment using the Ai Valentine Bears Set (5005) and center it on the top portion of the white circle.
Now we can layer up the card and attach the teacup and spoon and pop-up the circles with some dimensional 3D foam squares. For a bit of sparkle let’s add some pretty clear, iridescent drops around the card. These are perfect because they won’t add any color but will tie everything together nicely!
For a finishing touch, we can add a pretty mint green rose from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Heirloom Florals collection!
Here is the other video I mentioned in today’s video using the Ai Tea Time Set to create a pretty Mother’s Day Pocket card:
