Today I’m sharing one of the Make & Take projects from my September Stamp Club. It’s a card made with the The Raven stamp set, Ornate Frames Dies, Monster Bash Designer Series Paper, and Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I love the raven image in this stamp set, as well as the creepy branch. It really does bring to mind Edgar Allen Poe’s poem The Raven.

One of the members of the club made her raven card a little differently. I have included photos below of Brenda’s card, which she made as a vertical card, instead of horizontal like mine.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
• Monster Bash Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
• Basic Black CS layer cut to 2-3/4″ x 4″
• Smoky Slate CS layer cut to 3-5/8″ x 3-7/8″
• Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base

Stamped with the The Raven stamp set:

• raven and branch in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the Smoky Slate CS layer
• outer sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Smoky Slate CS
• inner sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the Whisper White CS

Cut using the Ornate Frames Dies:

• outer sentiment
• ornate frame from a scrap of Basic Black CS

Assembled the card:

• burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
• DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
• Smoky Slate CS layer glued onto the Basic Black CS layer
• Basic Black CS layer glued onto the DSP layer
• Red Rhinestone applied onto the Raven using the Take Your Pick Tool
• die cut sentiment glued onto the Basic Black CS ornate frame
