Bee Creative Tutorial – Kite Delight & Abstract Beauty

Create this card using the Kite Delight Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! Card by Laura Milligan

 

My card today features the whimsical Kite Delight stamp set from our January to June Mini Catalog.  It sure feels like summer – and this stamp set is perfect for a light hearted, fun card!

You have seen me use this layout before – it’s one of my favorites – I love the scallop edge created by the Scallop Contour Dies!

 

Measurements:

  • Thick Basic White:  5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Basic White: 3 ¼” x 5 ¼”, 2 ½ square
  • Daffodil Delight: ½” x 3”
  • Just Jade: 1” x 5 ¼”
  • DSP:  1” x 5 ¼”
  • Black Twine: about 6”

Instructions:

  1. Burnish and fold the card base with a Bone Folder
  2. Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to crop the Scallop with the Scallop Contour dies with Just Jade cardstock.
  3. Emboss the 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ panel with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine and the Dots Embossing Folder.
  4. Stamp the kite onto the Basic White Square – cut with Paper Snips. Add color with Stampin’ Blends.
  5. Stamp the words onto the panel of Daffodil Delight.
  6. Assemble the card – adhere the plaid DSP onto the right edge of the card front, then adhere the scalloped panel.
  7. Attach the Polka Dot panel with dimensionals.
  8. Tie several knots into the length of Black Baker’s Twine- use a dimensional on the back of the kite to secure the twine.  Add additional dimensionals to pop up kite and attach to card front.
  9. Tie a bow in a small length of Baker’s Twine and attach to kite as shown in photo with a glue dot.
  10. Attach word panel over kite string with dimensionals.
