We’re almost through the lazy days of Summer. What says Summer? Of course! Flamingos! I’ve been having fun creating this card! This is a terrific stamp set by Stephanie Bernard’s The Stamps of Life. If it looks difficult, don’t fear! It’s much easier to make than it looks! I found an excellent video that describes the process of making this card as well as the companion video for the envelope (see the links below). These are the following supplies you will need:
- 1 – 12″ x 12″ piece of lightweight card stock
- 1 – 5.5″ square of design paper
- 2 – 5.25″ squares of design paper (one can be the same as the 5 1/2″ Square and another of an alternating pattern)
- 1 – 5.75″ of square of design paper
- 1 – 5.5″ square of card stock (for stamping your sentiment)
For the belly band:
- 1 – 2″ x 12″ strip of card stock
- 1 – 1.75 x 12″ strip of design paper
- 2 large foam adhesive dots or strips
- A large die cut embellishment for the center of the belly band.
The following tools will be helpful:
- A large scoring board and bone folder
- A small tape runner or fast drying glue
There is also a video that explains how to make the envelope for this card due to the special dimensions. To construct the envelope, you will want to use:
- 1 – 10″ square of Design Paper
- an Envelope Punch Board
