“Band Together” Card Tutorial

Hi Friends! I hope you had a nice weekend! Today’s tutorial was created by Pat Mayer for our Leaders Project Group and I love the simplicity of it, as well as the red flowers on the black Buffalo Check background. This would a great card layout for any occasion, simply by changing out the sentiment. Imagine switching up the colour of the flowers to create a set of cards for a gift!

1. Position

   1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of Whisper White card stock. You may need to Ink
   several times to get a crisp image. Trim to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and adhere
   to the Basic Black card base.

   the large floral stamp from Band Together on the Stamparatus and
   stamp it on one of the 5 1/2 x 4 1/4” pieces of Whisper White.
   Color with the Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut. Add a bow around the
   flower stem as shown.
3. Stamp
   the sentiment on the small piece of Whisper White and punch with the
   Triple Banner punch.
4. Place
   Stampin’ Dimensionals on the floral image and adhere to the card
   base. Do the same with the sentiment piece.
5. Place
   the remaining piece of Whisper White card stock inside. Decorate if
   desired.
