for tearing the white center paper. Place the white center paper over the template and gently tear around the circle. Repeat. Layer torn paper

circles. Add your favorite leaf punch or die cut. Pinch the leaf tips and

add a few sticky dots to the center to create a precious mixed media

looking flower embellishment for your projects.

Finally, we'll make a clean and simple card that makes a statement....

№ 3. Elegant Borders✧

https://stampyandscrappy.blogspot.com

Finished card is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2

What you’ll need

Stamp: All-purpose sentiment; here I used “Merry Christmas”

Paper: [cardstock] Navy [design papers] One Horse Open Sleigh 162118

Ink: Real Red

Et cetera: [punches] Bough 157711; Double Oval 154242 [dies] Elegant Borders 161593

[embellishments] silicone craft sheet 127853; glitter brush 141897

Surplus❀ small water bottle, tape

Color Coordination: cardstock and papers

white, Real Red, Early Espresso, Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow

Measurements and instructions

Card blank: 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 (navy)

Design paper: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 (design paper)

Coordinating card stock: 2 x 6 (Additional piece of navy cardstock)

White cardstock for sentiment and boughs

Create card blank by scoring your 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 card stock in half at

4-1/4 and folding on the left side.

Attach design paper to cover the front of card.

Attach border die cut to the left side of card front. Take care to match the edges as tightly as possible, creating the illusion that the card base and elegant border are one.

For the boughs, add ink color(s) of your choice to craft mat. Add a small spritz of water. Use glitter brush (without squeezing the brush) to paint the boughs quickly and randomly. Let dry a bit. If using more than one color, let dry between coats. Here I used blue and green ink colors. Once dry, use either the front or back of the bough, whichever you love the most! Tape to card front, over the elegant border. Stamp sentiment and punch out with oval punch. Attach sentiment with foam dimensionals, concealing the tape.

Twinkle Tip✧

Don’t forget to use your border dies! They are a hassle-free way to add elegance to clean and simple designs.
