I recently received this beautiful card from my friend Cheryl Lee. She made it with several products from the Forever Greenery Suite and the “thank you” image from the Magnolia Blooms Stamp Set (a retired stamp set).

I loved the look and the layout so much that I recreated it and made a couple navy and white versions by substituting in a few products from the Boho Indigo Medley. This is the first one. And below the directions is the second one. I’d love to know which one appeals to you more. I made the one with the gray circle first. But after making the second one with the white circle, I think that one is my favorite.

Here are the details if you wish to make one (or both) of these.

Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements…

• Night of Navy Cardstock
  • 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ scored parallel to short end at 4-1/4″
  • Scraps for die-cutting a couple branch pieces
• Misty Moonlight Cardstock
  • Scrap for die-cutting a branch piece
• Boho Indigo Designer Paper
  • 1-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
• Whisper White Cardstock
  • 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″
• Outer cardstock layer (Smoky Slate or Whisper White Cardstock)
  • 3″ x 5-1/2″
• Circular piece (Smoky Slate or Whisper White Cardstock)
  • Scrap for die-cutting 2-3/8″ diameter Stitched Shapes circle
• Forever Trim (Gold Metallic Trim)
  • 6″

Directions…

• Emboss the outer cardstock layer with the Greenery Embossing Folder. Then die-cut the branch pieces with the dies in the Boho Indigo Medley and the stitched circular sentiment piece.
• Stamp the sentiment on the circular piece. Then adhere the Gold Hoop with Fine Tip Glue. Set aside to dry.
• Stamp the inside image on the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White piece. (I first stamped on scrap paper and then onto the cardstock. This way I got a lighter shade of blue.)
• Attach the rectangular layers to the Night of Navy card base.
• After the Fine Tip Glue is dry, flip the sentiment circle over and add a bit of Seal Adhesive behind that upper left area. Add a leaf piece from the Forever Gold Laser Cut Paper and the two blue die-cut branch pieces. Then place quite a few Dimensionals across the back of the left portion of that circle securing those embellishments and attaching this focal point to the front of the card.
• Use Glue Dots to add the horizonal navy branch and the gold bow.
• Embellish with Gold Glitter Enamel Dots or the flowers from the medley.

Thanks for visiting! Tomorrow I’ll be sharing lots of other cards I’ve been give recently.
