Second altered card from the Painted Wishes kit. Having made 3 note cards from one of the card designs which you can see HERE, I challenged myself on how to yield two cards from another design.
Original design card
Altered card #1
The Pretty Peacock card base was cut in half – I used one half to create the card front to this first card.
Envelop
- Seal the envelop. Trim 1/16″ on opposite side of floral side of envelop.
- Punch a finger hole with 1 ¾” circle punch. Set aside both these semi-circles.
- Stamp “Friend” from Biggest Wish stamp set in Daffodil Delight ink.
- Next stamp “hello” overlapping “Friend” in Pretty Peacock ink.
Front of card
- Colour the semi-circles with Daffodil Delight dark Stampin’ Blends.
- Fussy cut the floral element and adhere it to the Pretty Peacock side. You want a straight edge so trim card from floral end so that it measures 5 ⅜” x 4 ¼” (14.3 cm x 10.8 cm).
- Insert card into pocket and using envelop finger hole as guide, adhere Daffodil Delight semi-circles front and back.
- Stamp with Versamark ink “best wishes” and little dots from Artistically Inked stamp set. Sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat set.
Reverse of card
- Stamp “Birthday” in Daffodil Delight and “happy” in Pretty Peacock.
- On the 3 corners, stamp floral images partially off card in Moody Mauve. I stamped off first for a lighter shade of Moody Mauve.
- Stamp the leaves in Lemon Lime Twist.
- Clean and ink stamp in Pretty Peacock, stamp off, and stamp the leaves again.
Altered card #2
Use the second half of the card base as a mat layer. Additional supplies is some extra card stock and one of the new Online Exclusives “Fun Patterns” standard embossing folders. These come in a pair and fit the mini Stamp n’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The sandwich for standard embossing folders is the white platform 1 and the light grey platform 3.
Card front
- Cut a card base in Basic White Thick 5 ¾” x 8 ¼” (14.5 cm x 21 cm) and fold in half.
- Fussy cut the leaves.
- Trim the Lemon Lime Twist layer to 4″ x 3 ⅜”.
- Stamp “thanks” in Pretty Peacock from Artistically Inked stamp set.
- Emboss it with the floral pattern of the Fun Patterns embossing folder.
- Adhere fussy cut leaves to back of embossed Lemon Lime Twist layer.
- On scraps of Basic White card stock, stamp 1 large flower and 2 small ones. Stamp 1st generation on the first small flower and without re-inking, stamp a 2nd generation small flower.
- Fussy cut all three flowers. (note : there are dies to match, but I fussy cut mine)
- Apply dimensionals on the back of largest flower and the 1st generation stamped small flower.
- Adhere large flower on top left, tuck and adhere 2nd generation small flower directly on to mat layer underneath large flower.
- Adhere 1st generation flower on dimensionals on partially on top of both flowers as shown.
- Next adhere this to the Pretty Peacock mat layer and then on to card base
Inside card
- Cut Basic White inside layer 3 ¾” x 5 ½” (9.5 cm x 14 cm)
- Stamp a border in Moody Mauve at the bottom (stamp off first)
- Randomly stamp the little dots above this border all over in Lemon Lime Twist ink. You can omit this step, I did this to hide the accidental smudge!
- Trim and adhere the sentiment from the kit “thank you FOR YOUR kindness” as shown.
