I wanted to make a special card for the 500th post and one of my favorite stamp bundles right now is the Sketched Butterflies!
I was inspired by a very talented demonstrator in my side line named Susan Campfield and she made this awesome double arrowhead card a few months ago and I wanted to try my hand at it – so this is my version!
Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
(2) 4 1/4″ x 5″
scored on 5″ side at 1 1/2″, 3″ 3 3/4″ and 4 1/2″
(1) 2 1/4″ x 4″ embossed
Full of Life DSP
(2) 1 1/4″ x 4″
(4) 1/2″ x 4″
I folded the (2) 4 1/4″ x 5″ in a Mountain-Mountain-Valley-Mountain configuration. See the folded sheet at the top of the next photo.
Using the Multipurpose (green) glue, on the smallest edge (in between the 3 3/4″ and 4 1/2″ score lines) – glue to the back side of the first panel. This will make an arrowhead shaped piece of paper.
Do that to the second 4 1/4″ x 5″ piece of paper as well.
Do that to the second 4 1/4″ x 5″ piece of paper as well.
Adhere the 1/2″ x 4″ pieces of DSP to the gusseted part of both of the arrowheads.
With the points of the arrowheads facing in towards the middle of the card adhere the arrowheads to the outside edges of the card front.
Adhere the 1 1/4″ x 4″ pieces of DSP to the 2 front panels of each arrowheads.
Emboss the 2 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White card stock with the Dotted Circle 3D embossing folder or another one of your choosing.
Adhere to the middle of the card in between the two arrowheads,
Adhere to the middle of the card in between the two arrowheads,
Stamp the sentiment on Basic White card stock scrap and die cut some of the Sketched Butterflies in Basic Black card stock and adhere to the middle embossed panel.
Add some Drusy Adhesive-backed embellishments to the card front.
I took an extra piece of DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card and added an extra butterfly die to the paper.
The gusseted arrowheads allow the card to stand freely for display!
HAPPY 500th post! Hope you love this card as much as I do! Thanks for the inspiration Susan! and I hope I inspire you as well! Now it’s your turn to create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
