Simply Elegant Cardmaking Inspiration | Kathleen Schmelz
Happy Friday, Pinkfresh Studio fans! It's Kathleen here, and I'm excited to be back to share a card that's both simple and elegant using some of my favorite product from the current Joyful Blooms release. ✨
*Disclaimer: All products used are linked below as clickable images. If a product isn’t listed, it’s been discontinued.
Let's have a look at how you can recreate this card:
- Cut an A2 side-folding card base from light grey cardstock.
- Die cut the largest die from the Elegant Circles dies (3) times from white cardstock and adhere them together.
- Adhere the stacked frames centered onto the card base.
- Stamp the Foliage Flair cling stamp in Detail Black onto white cardstock.
- Use the coordinating layering stencils to ink blend the stamped image—Stencil 1 for both Design Option 1 and Design Option 2—using Fresh Pear, Aquamarine, Ocean Breeze, and Turquoise inks.
- Die cut the largest die from the Elegant Circles dies from the ink-blended image.
- Cut a piece of light blue cardstock to 4" x 1 1/4".
- Heat emboss the "Happiness looks good on you" sentiment from the Perfect Peony stamp set onto it using white detail embossing powder.
- Adhere the sentiment strip centered onto the circe die cut using thin foam adhesive & cut off the excess.
- Adhere the circle inside the frame on the card base.
- Die cut two branches from the Flowers for the Soul washi tape & adhere them on the right side, tucking one behind the sentiment strip.
- Embellish to your liking using Clear Drops: Ice.
And that's it! You could easily mix up the color scheme of this card to make it more playful, or turn up the glam even more by adding a glitter cardstock frame.
I hope you enjoyed this card and it gives you some inspiration for what you can create with some of the beautiful products from the Joyful Blooms release!
