hello

Hi everyone, happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a pretty floral friendship card in a coral/peach/orange combo. Unfortunately, the Basis Coral cardstock I used is no longer on the website. However, any coral colored cardstock would compliment the Bazzill Peach Canvas Textured cardstock and Pop Tone Tangy Orange cardstock I used. I also used Altenew stamps and dies, crocheted lace and a scalloped border die from my stash.

I cut the card base from Basis Coral cardstock along with a layering panel and scalloped border (using the Sweet & Sassy Scalloped Border Die) from Bazzill Peach Canvas Textured cardstock. I cut a length of white crocheted ribbon and thin strip of Pop Tone Tangy Orange to go on top of the panel. I stamped the florals from the Altenew Mini Delights: Watering Can stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black, Lady Bug, Morocco and Rich Cocoa inks, colored the leaves with Copic Ciao alcohol markers, and fussy cut them.

I die cut the watering can from Basis Coral, Bazzill Basics Peach and Tangy Orange cardstock and assembled it. I used my Xacto knife to cut a slit in the top of the can, inserted the florals, and adhered the focal to the card front on adhesive foam squares. I stamped the sentiment from the same Altenew stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink, fussy cut it and adhered it in the bottom right corner. The finishing touch was adding several Honey Bee Pastel Pearls.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with an additional scalloped border die cut. I stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Fall Swags stamp set and cut it with the coordinating Fall Swags die. I layered the panel on Pop Tone Tangy Orange, which completed the card.
