Fifth Avenue Floral

I met with a group of ladies on Thursday for a card making session.  We take turns with the projects and I volunteered this month.  The card we made is so pretty and one that I learned to do during the Shallotte Quarterly (thanks, Becky!).  It is made with the Fifth Avenue Floral Sizzix folder (exclusively SU) and the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.

These are the cards closed.

Yellow Card open

Pink Card open

If you notice the pink card is cut a little different than the yellow one.  It just goes to show even when you mess up, it can turn out all right! 

Directions:

• Cut cardstock 5 1/2" x 12"
• Score at 4" and 8"
• Put one side of the card (up to the fold line) in the Fifth Ave Floral Sizzix folder and run through the Big Shot (with the words on the die facing up).  This side will be embossed.
• Put the other side of the card (up to fold line) in the folder (with the words underneath this time) and run through the Big Shot.  This side will be de-bossed.
• Trim around the floral shape (see samples above).
• Corner round the top edges of the inside piece of cardstock.
• Cut a piece of white cardstock 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" and corner round the top edges.
• Stamp on the white with the Fifth Ave Floral stamps.  Adhere to the center panel.
• Stamp one of the flowers on a scrap of white & cut out.  Adhere it on the inside with dimensional tape.
• Punch two holes at the top and thread ribbon through.
• Make a belly band to go around the card.

This card can be used for a wedding invitation, sympathy card, birthday, etc.  Very versatile!
