Hi, Stampers!
A new Alphabet Challenge is starting today, and the theme is “D is for Dragonfly.” So, for this theme, I pulled out Dragonfly Garden, which just retired, then used the Dragonflies Punch, which is still current in the new catalog. Then, I paired it with the beautiful Fresh As A Daisy designer paper. I love dragonflies and remember how plentiful they were in places I have lived in the past, but I haven’t seen many here in Chicago yet.
Once you finish here, I hope you visit our Alphabet Design Team gallery for some great inspiration and play along!
My secrets!
- Firstly, this is such an easy A2 card to make, and I hope you will try one.
- The card base is 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 3.”
- After that, I cut a white cardstock at 2-3/4″ x 4″ and the designer paper was cut 2-5/8″ x 3-7/8.”
- Inside: white cardstock was cut to 5-1/4″ x 4.”
And now, the fun part!
- Once the card base was done, I stamped the stamp from Dragonfly Garden with Boho Blue ink.
- Then, I colored it with a very light touch of Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends marker and punched it out with its coordinating punch. Also, I decided a little vellum dragonfly layer would be nice so I punched out a second one and glued them together.
- After that, I stamped the Cheerful Daisies sentiment and punched it out with the Tailored Tag Punch.
- Then, I cut more vellum with the retired Starburst Punch and added Boho Blue cardstock cut with the 2″ circle punch.
- Finally, I added just a few Solid Gems to the dragonfly and a couple of small ones scattered about.
Then, on the inside…
- So, for the inside, after adhering the white cardstock to the card base, I stamped the pretty flowers with Boho Blue ink (masking the white cardstock at the bottom) so they could be seen when the card is closed.
