Here’s what I made:

Hand-Penned Petals Bundle, Diagonal Split Panel Thank You Card #stampcandy

S

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

  • Basic White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
  • Garden Green CS layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
  • Garden Green CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
  • Basic White CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
  • Diagonal layers (see below)

Diagonal Layers:

  • using a pencil and ruler, made tiny marks on the edges of the 3-3/4″ x 5″ Basic White CS layer:
    • on the left side, 1/4″ and 2-1/2″ from the top
    • on the right side, 3-1/2″ and 4-1/4″ from the top
  • Basic White layer laid on top of the same size Garden Green layer, lining them up so I could cut them at the same time to keep them exactly alike
  • cut the layers from the top left pencil mark to the top right mark
  • cut the layers from the bottom left mark to the bottom right mark
  • didn’t use the middle pieces, only the top and bottom

Stamped with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set:

  • flower cluster in black Memento ink onto a scrap of Basic White Thick CS
  • smaller flower stem in Garden Green ink, and flowers in Misty Moonlight ink, onto a scrap of Basic White Thick CS
  • sentiment in Pale Papaya ink onto the upper Basic white CS diagonal layer
  • sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink over the Pale Papaya sentiment, just slightly offset

Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:

  • flower cluster in Pale Papaya, Shaded Spruce, and Misty Moonlight

Cut using the Penned Flowers Dies:

  • stamped and colored flowers

Cut using Paper Snips:

  • separated the two flowers in the cluster, then glued them back together so they overlapped

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
  • top Basic White CS layer laid on the Garden Green CS layer, then slid up so 1/8″ of the Garden Green showed along the diagonal; glued them together
  • did the same thing with the bottom diagonal layers
  • adhered the diagonal layers onto the DSP layer using Foam Adhesive Sheet cut to size
  • adhered the flowers onto the diagonal layers with glue, and between the layers using Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • DSP layer glued onto the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Garden Green CS layer
  • 4″ x 5-1/4″ Garden Green CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • flower flourishes adhered onto the diagonal layers – larger one with a Glue Dot and smaller ones with glue
