I used the Abstract Impressions stamp set and the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper to create today’s card. It’s so quick and easy to make!
I started with a base of Melon Mambo cardstock that measured 11″ x 4-1/4″ and I scored it at 5-1/2″. It isn’t necessary to score but I’m always much happier with the results than if I just folded. Next, I cut down a piece of Garden Impression DSP to 5″ x 3-3/4″ and layered it onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock that measured 5-1/4″ x 4″.
I took our 1/8″ Black Cord and wrapped it around the Basic Black, attaching it in two places on the back. At first I tried using Snail adhesive to attach the ends of the cord to the back but it just wouldn’t stay but our Multipurpose Liquid Glue did the trick. Then I attached Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the card base.
Using Memento Ink and Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set Abstract Impressions. Then I cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. If I can, I always prefer cutting AFTER stamping because it allows me to get the sentiment exactly where I want. I cut a Basic Black scalloped square using the Layering Squares Framelits, added the sentiment to the front, attached Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it all to the front of the card.

I know it’s been a very long time, but what do you suppose the straight “brush stroke” looking stamp is meant for? Perhaps a grounding base for the grass? I haven’t seen any demo using it. Thanks and have a great day!
Gosh, I don’t know Kari. I think you may be right and that it could be used as dirt or more grass? Sorry I’m not much help!
