Banner Shaped Mini-Card Front

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's card features products from Kat Scrappiness. I created a shaped mini-card front. The kraft cardstock is just a panel that holds the mini-card. 

I began by die cutting different shades of green cardstock and a gold cardstock using the KS Stitched Slimline Strips dies. I adhered this to a typewriter paper which was cut a bit larger than the banner die that I used on this card. I made sure that the strips are flushed next to each other. I also created an order of adhering the strips. I die cut this using a die from the KS Nesting Fishtail Banner dies. 

To create the mini note card, I am using a top folding white A2 note card. I positioned the banner die a bit above the scored line of the note card. I ran this through the die cutting machine. I adhered the striped banner die cut to the front of this mini note card. I stamped a sentiment to the inside of mini-card.

To embellish the front of the card, I die cut letters on gold mirror cardstock to spell 'Daddy.' I adhered another set on plain cardstock, and adhered this to the back of the letters for some dimension.

I die cut the word 'Hi' on white cardstock. This die is part of the KS Nesting Fishtail Banner dies. I also die cut an extra one and adhered it together for dimension. Instead of using the tiddle, I die cut the smallest star from the same die set. I also die cut this twice and adhered one star over the other.

For the subsentiment, I heat embossed this on white cardstock and die cut this into a strip. I also die cut extras and adhered it on top of each for dimension. I used Versamark ink for stamping and Wow! Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine embossing powder. 

I adhered all of die cuts on the front of the striped mini-notecard. I added more star die cuts and small star sequins.

For the mini card holder, I trimmed a kraft cardstock at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I embossed this panel using the KS Buffalo Plaid Background die. To achieve this look, you will need an embossing mat. Depending on your machine, you might need to add shims to get a good, embossed impression.

I swiped the Versamark ink on the edges of the panel. I poured the same embossing powder to these areas then heat set it. 

I adhered the mini card to the panel.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
