Looking for a floral card that is subtle and easy to make, while also being fit for a queen? Check out this bold Mother’s day card that is going to make mom smile!
Mother’s Day will be here before we know it! Today’s beautiful card creation is from our designer, Dominique who said, “I have a tendency to create ultra-floral Mother’s Day cards. Then it dawned on me that some mom’s may enjoy a simple design, one more regal and bold in nature. I decided to craft a floral card that was more modest in nature but just as grand in the love it conveys”. Follow along to see how Dominique makes a bold red and gold Mothers Day card.
How to make this card:
- To start, stamp 37012 Floral Background onto a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 sheet of card stock. I will be using an ink color that closely matches the card stock color I selected.
- Once the image is stamped, die cut the center using the 3 x 4 1/4 die from the 5806D Postage Stamp Nested Die set. We will be using both the die cut piece and the frame, so try to center your die as much as possible.
- Next, take some brushed gold card stock and die cut that using the 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 die from the same set. Set aside.
- Now we’ll work on the sentiment. Place your postage stamp cut out into your stamp positing tool and treat it with some anti-static powder. Then, center your “Happy Mother’s Day” stamp from 3417 Mothers Day Set and stamp that using Versamark watermark ink.
- Sprinkle on some brushed gold embossing powder and heat emboss.
- Now it’s time to assemble the card. Place small drops of glue on the outter portions of the brushed gold die cut. Then, add some double sided adhesive to the back our your floral die cut piece. Adhere the brushed gold piece to the floral frame (make sure to center this.) Then, remove the backing from the floral piece and adhere the brushed gold piece.
- For a little extra pizzazz, die cut some of the floral from 5508-03D Stackable Flowers/leaves #3 and add them above the Mother’s Day sentiment.
- Finally, adhere your completed panel to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.
