This card is simple and classic. It uses the same supplies as yesterday’s project, but just a simpler look.
Stamp the sentiment on Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the 1 5/8” Layering Circles die. Cut a 1 7/8” circle out of Night of Navy. Center it under your sentiment and glue them together. The Paper Trimmer cuts the red pieces nice and precise.
For the interior, stamp the rope off of the sheet (protect your table surface with a scrap piece of paper). For the flag banner, I just used scissors to cut a wedge in the red paper strip, but you could also use the Banners Pick a Punch. Attach the red flag first and then trim off any excess before you attach the white interior to your card base.
Measurements:
- Night of Navy cardstock for card base: 8 1/2″ x 5 “1/2”
- Basic White cardstock for exterior: 4 ½” x 3 3/4″
- Cherry Cobbler cardstock for exterior: 1 ¼” x 4 ½”+ (cut this a little long and then trim)
- Basic White cardstock scrap for the circle: 1 5/8” cut with die
- Night of Navy cardstock scrap for circle: 1 7/8” cut with die
- Basic White cardstock for interior: 4 3/4” x 3 1/2”
- Cherry Cobbler cardstock for interior: 1” x 2 3/4”+ (cut this a little long and then trim)
Tip: Cut the red pieces longer than you will use. Glue them to the white layer first, then trim them with scissors. Do you see my mistakes? It bugs me that I can see the white peeking through because I pre-cut my pieces. I won’t do that again!
