Hi friends! Today, I hope to inspire you with the cutest stitched pockets of “cute as a button” florals and leaves. With Valentine’s day two months away, it’s time to pull out the pinks and reds and get busy making cards to share your love! Today’s card features the following Papertrey Ink products:
Into the Blooms: Cute as a Button dies
STEP ONE: Cut a card front panel measuring 5″ X 7″ from Stamper’s Select white cardstock.
Die cut three labels to use as the pockets using the Hold That Thought Die from three colors: Pale Peony, Raspberry Fizz and Pure Poppy. Using the Into the Blooms: Cute as a Button dies, die cut the greenery from Mint Julep cardstock. Die cut the buttons and florals from the same set using the three pocket colors and white cardstock.
Die cut three smaller labels to fit on the three pockets from white cardstock using the Hold That Thought Die.
STEP TWO: Create a pattern on the card front using the Classic Alphabet stamp set, and gold metallic gold ink. Turn the “o” in “love” on the side for a fun pattern. Using the Just a Note stamp set, stamp the vertical stacked tiny hearts over the “o” letter using Pure Poppy dye ink.
Stamp three sentiments from the Just a Note stamp set on the smaller white labels using True Black Ink. Attach the white labels to the front of each pocket.
STEP THREE: Attach the pockets to the card front panel using foam tabs, stacking them down the center of the stamped background. Layer the buttons and florals to make “cute as a button” florals. Attach the greenery and buttons, tucking them inside each pocket. Use foam tabs under some of the elements to make them dimensional. Add an extra button to the outside of each pocket, tucking it under the white label.
Use a white Gelly Roll Pen and a fine-tip red marker, add faux threads between the thread holes. Using a fine-tip green marker, add stitches around the buttons and on the leaves.
STEP FOUR: Attach the card front to a white 5″ X 7″ card base to complete the card. This card would be a perfect card for Valentine’s day and to share love throughout the year.
