June Class Projects, part 3

6/7/2016

0 Comments

 
Hope you had a great Independence Day weekend!

Today I'm bringing you more of the cards we made in my June class:
Picture
This features the new Detailed Floral Thinlits and its coordinating stamp set, Floral Phrases.  You may have seen a lot of these projects in Night of Navy and Whisper White, since another part of this product suite is the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper, which is a beautiful collection of navy and white designs.  But I wanted to use a different color scheme for this card.   

We took a piece of Melon Mambo card stock (4.25" x 11") and placed the larger Thinlit at one end, along with the separate Edgelit that cuts the coordinating edge.  Then we lined up the paper in the Simply Scored Scoring Tool with the cut end against the left bar, and scored at 3.25".  Once we had folded that end over, we placed the card stock back in with the folded edge agains the left bar and scored at 5.25".  

That leaves just enough room at the far end to place the smaller Thinlit and Edgelit and run through the Big Shot.  2 things to note:  
  1. be sure to place the card stock face down before aligning the 2nd Thinlit (you can tell by looking and feeling the first cut side, and by noting that the large flowers should be at a diagonal from each other.
  2. only run the card stock part way through the Big Shot, then back it out again.  You don't want to get the first end caught and mangled in the rollers.
​ Clear as mud?  Scroll down and watch Stampin' Up!'s video about the Detailed Floral Thinlits...maybe that will help!

For the inside stamped the floral image from Floral Phrases in Melon Mambo, and added the sentiment from Build a Birthday.  In this picture I used a piece of Whisper White 4" x 10", scored at 5" for a left hinge.  However, for class I cut it 5.25 x 8" and scored at 4" for a top hinge.  Both worked nicely.  

To finish we simply threaded a length of Melon Mambo ⅛" Stitched Ribbon through the lattice of the front and tied it in a bow.  Thick Baker's Twine in either Melon Mambo or Whisper White would also have worked well.
