Everything Essential punch card

Do you sometimes suffer a creative block? Fear not, as the Catalogue is the greatest source of inspiration!

My card is a variation on a theme. The sample Stampin’ Up! created for the Everything Essential Bundle on page 61 was the floral image in the bottom right corner. They have stamped some of the tags directly on to coloured card stock and also used different colouring techniques to apply ink to the stamp.

Here’s my version – less labour intensive, but no less effective! The trick with using patterned paper to create this card, is to choose one that has little or no pattern on it so that when you stamp on it, the image on the stamp doesn’t clash with the pattern on the paper.

In Europe, the size of an A4 is different, slightly longer and narrower. With an A5 card size, the width is only 4-1/8″. Consequently the punched out labels had to be 1/8″ shorter to allow for the spacing when adhered to the Whisper White 4″ x 5-1/4″ (10.2 x 13.3 cm) Card Front layer.
