I recently took part in the June Crafty Collaborations Virtual Swap. It’s peony season up here in Northern Minnesota, so I decided to create a card using the Poised Peony Stamp Set.
Here are the Measurements:
- Card Base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2,” scored at 4 1/4″
- Layer 1: Designer Series Paper strip 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
- Layer 1 Also: 3″ x 5 1/4″ Lost Lagoon panel, embossed with embossing folder
- Layer 2: Deckled Circles Die, 6th from the center
- Layer 3: Basic White Cardstock for inside of card: 5 1/4″ x 4″

Directions:
- Cut card base in Lost Lagoon to A2 size; score and fold in half.
- Adhere Designer Series Paper strip to the left side of card front. Emboss Lost Lagoon panel with embossing folder using Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
- Adhere embossed panel to fit on card base beside DSP strip with equal space on all sides.
- Cut Deckled Circle die in Lost Lagoon. Heat emboss peony stamp and sentiment on circle using white embossing powder.
- Using the Petal Pink ink pad, and your fingers, ‘dye’ a length of white baker’s twine to the proper shade of Petal Pink.
- Trim as desired and loop behind the sentiment circle, using tape adhesive. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to Deckled Circle sentiment and add to card front. Add embellishments as desired to finish card.
