Owl-ways Crafty : A Gift for You

A Gift of Cards for a Friend

12th March, 2021

Hi crafters I am back with a cute little gift set of 4 cards and envelopes that you can give to someone for whatever reason you see fit...or just because you can.

To start this set I decided to go with 4x4 inch square cards. I cut 4 pieces of white card to 3.75x 3.75 inches and whipped out my Flowers and Berries stamp set by Craft Purple Frog. I chose the big sunflower and stamped this in Memento Black ink on all 4 cards in the middle..I also stamped and cut out a mask.

Next I opted to use Versafine Clair ink as I find them bright and cheerful, for my cards I used Summertime, Charming Pink and Purple Delight. I then masked these over one at a time and stamped in the leaf from the same stamp set, first the outline then I used Versafine Claire Verdant ink for the solid leaf. At this point I decided to layer the flowers up so stamped out 4 more and coloured them in the same way.

I cut out all my extra flowers and used foam dots on the back of them to pop them up on top of flowers already stamped on the cards. I then added sentiments from The Sett and the Just Because stamps sets also from Crafty Purple Frog...I used ones I thought would work for other people to give away, I added colour to these where I could with my Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers.

To top the sunflowers off I cut circles of glitter card and popped them up in the centre of each sunflower and added some rhinestone gems around the card to add a touch more sparkle along with some faux stitching around the edges to pull the cards together.

I picked out complimentary card stock from my stash and cut 4 pieces 8 x 4 inches and folded in half before adhering the fronts to the card.
