Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I created a card using a patterned paper from the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Scary Stories collection. This is my second project using papers from this collection. The first project I created was a Halloween Mini Tag Book which is on the previous post in case you are interested to check it out.
I used the Tricks & Treats patterned paper on this card. The minute I saw this patterned paper, I fell in love with it. It brought me back to that era of crafting when rosettes were on trend. It reminded me of how I loved creating this embellishment.
I strategically cut the patterned paper to 4"x 5 1/4". I needed the large rosette pictured above on this panel. I inked the edges with a Tim Holtz Distress Black Soot ink.
Since the paper is pretty by itself, I just added accents with stitching on some of the rosette centers using metallic and shimmer flosses.
I fussy cut one of the larger rosettes. After stitching on it, I stuck a brad thru the center of the rosette. Before setting the prongs of the brad, I punched a hole on the center of the rosette on the card panel, the one similar to the rosette I fussy cut. I slipped the prongs of the brad through this hole, then set it. This added an interactive feature to the card since you can rotate the rosette.
I glued gems to the centers of the stitched rosettes. I adhered this panel to a dark orange cardstock cut at 4 1/4"x5 1/2", then to an A2 note card.
I heat embossed the sentiment on the same dark orange cardstock using white embossing powder. I die cut this into a strip using an Avery Elle Sentiment Strip die. I die cut 2 more pieces of this strip, then adhered it to the back of the sentiment strip for a little bit of dimension. I adhered this to the stitched panel. I went for a non-Halloween sentiment so I can give this card any time of the year.
I hope you like today's card. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
