greenery lane peek through card

This Greenery Lane Bundle and coordinating Washi Tape has limitless possibilities and this week I had a play with all of the supplies from these products. I came up with a couple cards and this one I sent away as this month’s swap card for my demonstrator monthly swap – hope they like it!

This peek through masculine card features not only the Greenery Lane stamp set and matching dies but the coordinating wide Washi Tape and the dies work with the tape just like the Extraordinary Flora set!

Measurements:
BASE: Lost Lagoon CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Pretty Peacock CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 3 3/4″ x 5″

Lay the tape on the Basic White CS layer and smooth out with your bone folder so there are no wrinkles.

Run the Basic White Washi Tape layer through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Lovely Stripes 3D embossing folder using the Base #1 plate and the embossing #4 plate.

Run Stampin’ Seal on the top and left hand edge only to secure the embossed layer to the Pretty Peacock matte layer. I want to use both dies separately that is why I will adhere the other side after running it through the machine!

Place the smallest Branching out concentric dies on the layer and decide where to make the cut.

Run through the machine using the set up for a thin die: Base plate #1, thin die adaptor #2. and sandwich the paper and die in between two #3 cutting plates. Run through cutting both embossed and matte layers and separate the layers.

I used the embossed layer to cut out a smaller foliage sprig to use later as decoration.

Adhere the other side of the embossed layer to the Pretty Peacock matte layer and then adhere both to the card front.

Nestle the die into the open space and through through the machine again to cut out the same die through the card front layer.

I stamped the love and hugs sentiment in full strength Lost Lagoon ink and then the larger leaf sprig in first generation stamping (that is stamping off one time on my grid paper to get a lighter background color and effect.)

Then I added Stampin’ Seal to the back of the Pretty Peacock die cut and with the card front closed I added it through the die hole to adhere to the inside back of the card.

Open the card front and the die will be placed in the correct position to see through the front die cut opening! Burnish the layer to make sure it is adhered properly!
