The
inspiration for this card came from the adorable Doodlebug quote
stickers. When I saw all of the different speech bubbles, I knew I
wanted that to be the theme of my card. To create this card, I cut an A2
card with a top fold from the bright green cardstock. I then cut
another panel to measure 4" x 5.25". Using VersaMark ink, I randomly
stamped the two speech bubbles from the Loved stamp set. I sprinkled
with clear embossing powder, zapped it with my heat tool and set it
aside.
Next, I
cut a number of strips of pattern paper with widths varying from 3/8"
to 3/4". (By keeping my widths narrow, I ensured that I have enough
pattern paper left to cover a card front. You can also use leftover
scraps for this technique.) I took a piece of scrap computer paper and
cut it down to 2" x 4". I covered one side of the computer paper
completely with adhesive and then layered the strips on a diagonal. When
the entire surface was covered, I flipped it over and trimmed the
strips of paper. I used Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters distress ink to ink
the edges. This step is very important because it gives all of the
different papers a cohesive look. I adhered this to the bottom of the
stamped block. I used a piece of ScorTape to adhere the ribbon and foam
adhesive to adhere the panel to the card.
I added
sparkle to the "Smile" sticker with a Wink of Stella Brush pen. Love
this pen! Seriously, every card maker should have one (or two or three)!
To enlarge the sticker, I placed it on a piece of coordinating and
fussy cut around it. Then I used a Signo gel pen (my other favorite pen)
to add the white faux stitching.After popping the stickers on foam
adhesive, I added them to my card. Because the embossing made the card
surface slick, I added a squirt of Glossy Accents under each foam dot.
The inside sentiment reads: you are loved. I think this would be a fun
and cheery card to send to a teen who just went off to college.
This card is so cute and would make a great card to send to someone you haven't seen in a while!
