Dimensions
Merry Merlot or Mossy Meadow: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Sahara Sand: 5 1/4" x 4" (two of these)
DSP Banner: 5 1/4" x 2"
DSP Strip: 5 1/2" x 3/4" (inside of card), 4 3/8" x 3/4" for envelope
Card Front
Use Brick and Mortar embossing folder on the Sahara Sand card stock. Create the banner with Pressed Petals DSP paper using the Banner Punch. Adhere both to the front of card.
Cut out the front label using the Petal Label dies and adhere to the front with Dimensionals.
To create the flower, punch out a 1/2" circle. Remove five flower petals from the Pressed Petals Sepcialty Washi Tape and press them to the 1/2" circle evenly to make the flower. Turn it over and gently use the Embossing Buddy (or other item that might work) to help make the back petals tacky instead of sticky. This way they won't stick to your card. Place a perennial Essence Floral Center on the flower and adhere to card.
Inside of Card
Adhere Saraha Sand card stock and strip of DSP Paper.
Envelope
Adhere strip of DSP.
Notes
This is one of my favorite bundles in the new catalog. This card is actually really simple to make, but it doesn't look like it! This card can work for so many occasions too.
I used Mossy Meadow as another alternative to Merry Merlot and I do like them both.
If you like the Wash Tape petals, note that there are 100 on a roll. If you use five per flower, that gives you 20 flowers total, and they are so easy!
