Oh la la! I love what vellum brings to a card. Look at this fun and simple idea. Vellum is the card base, but the layers of die-cuts allow any inside sections and signing of the card to stay hidden until opened. And except fo the very back side, the adhesives stay hidden completely.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
- Vellum Cardstock
- 5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
- Basic White Cardstock
- Two pieces that are 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
- Pool Party Cardstock
- Scrap for die-cutting sentiment 2-3/8″ diameter circles
- Sahara Sand Cardstock
- Scrap for die-cutting sentiment 2-5/8″ diameter circles
- Pool Party Sheer Ribbon
- 20″
Directions
- Die-cut two shell groupings. Emboss one of them with the coordinating embossing folder. Adhere the non-embossed one to the inside of the card using Seal Adhesive (or sponge on Multipurpose Liquid Glue if you want a more discrete look on the very back).
- Die-cut the circles, layer together as shown below for the inside and outside sentiment pieces, then stamp with the words (in Early Espresso ink) and speckles (in Pool Party ink).
- Add a few speckles of Wink of Stella by tapping the pen against a bone folder above the layered circle pieces to release the ink. Allow to dry.
- Close the card. Position the embossed shell grouping over top but don’t attach yet. Add the front sentiment circle to this with Dimensionals. Then flip this embossed shell grouping over and add adhesive the shell layer just behind the circle (no where else). I used Seal, but you could use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to be more precise.
- Now add this to the front of the closed card being sure to line up the die-cut shell groupings.
- Add the ribbon. If you can tuck it a bit under the front circle, then do so.
- Open the card and add the other sentiment circle to the inside left side so it covers up the circle area (and adhesive) of the front layers.
Ta-da!!
- Then just finish off by accenting with the Elegant Faceted Gems.
Isn’t the sparkle from the Wink of Stella amazing? I’m sort of addicted to it lately.
