It's Monday, which means it is time for a new featured stamp set of the week. This week I will be using the Vertical Blooms stamp set. This was a new stamp set in the 23-24 Annual Catalog. I was intrigued by the vertical sentiment as they were something a little different than what I already own. And while I have had it for a while, I haven't used it a lot yet, so decided I would feature it this week. (That makes me use it!)
Since it is Monday, that also means that I try to do a "Simply Monday" card, and today's card could not be easier. The front of the card was made with one of the "ready-made" panels from the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP). This paper collection includes two sheets that have several panels that are prefect for card fronts. All I needed to do was cut it out and then trim it to the size I needed for the front of my "book".
My card base is a standard 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" card. Normally, I score my book Fun Fold card so that I have a 1" binding, but on today's card I made the binding a little narrower so that I could maximize the size of the pretty daisy DSP.
My card base is made with Wild Wheat cardstock and the sentiment and Fresh as a Daisy DSP are both matted with Early Espresso cardstock.
I added a Wild Wheat Ribbon tied in a simple double knot and then added 3 In-Color Wild Wheat Dots to give just a tiny bit of bling. Like I said. It doesn't get much easier than that.
Since the inside of the card is narrower due to the Book Binding Fun Fold, I cut the strip of Wild Wheat DSP for the inside narrower than normal. It is only 1/4" wide which jazzed up the inside a little without overpowering the narrower format. It also leaves plenty of room for a handwritten note.
All products used on today's card are in the list below, but there are few! This is definitely a quick and simple card that requires minimal supplies.
