Today I’m kicking off a new series– Card Layout Episode #1 | Take a card layout and bring it to life series.  I titled the series ‘How to take a card layout and bring it to life because that’s what I’m going to teach you how to do! I hope you’ll love seeing how these card design ideas ‘come to life’ and how different a card can look even using the same layout.

During this series, you’ll receive a card sketch (also known as a card layout) plus several samples using the sketch. Card sketches provide details for the layout which simplifies the design process. And this series is unique because my card sketches will include measurements! Simply choose your stamp set and your colors!

Be sure to scroll down past the video so you don’t miss the pictures of these 3 card layout ideas, along with their respective supplies. And don’t forget, it’s Bonus Days! Every $50 product order placed between now and July 31 provides you with a $5 coupon code to use towards any size order in August. Details can be found HERE.

I used the Floral Essence Bundle to create this first card. The Perennial Flower Punch make the perfect flower blossom with ease! It might be difficult to see in the picture, but I stamped the petal image using Memento in on Blackberry Bliss cardstock. The deep tones are showcased through the coordinating Perennial Essence Designer Paper. The entire Floral Essence suite of products can be found on page 107.

The hand-painted impressionistic imagery can be found throughout the entire pack of designer paper. The 12 sheets; 2 each of 6 different designs boast rich tones in an array of colors.

Card Layout Episode #1:  Sample A

This suite of products includes the Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock. I chose to emboss this layer using the Country Floral Embossing Folder and reverse the pattern so the debossed side faced up. The white areas provided by the deep impression of this folder provide the perfect coordination to the white cardstock layer.

Card Layout Episode #1 – Sample B

My second sample uses the Daisy Lane Bundle (stamp set + coordinating Medium Daisy Punch). My side layer is a bit narrower than the Floral Essence card above to accommodate the daisy stem proportion.

I stamped the daisy image using Pineapple Punch ink and then added color to various areas of the petals using a sponge dauber in Pumpkin Pie ink. Add a few rhinestones for sparkle!

Card Layout Episode #1 – Sample C

My final card sample uses the Tropical Chic stamp set and the coordinating dies. Isn’t that designer paper bright and cheerful – and different! You’ll love the colors and patterns included in the See a Silhouette Designer Paper (page 166). These color-washed silhouettes has the look of pigment sprinkles for fun artistic backgrounds.

Are you wondering where the top layer is? I substituted it with the Crushed Curry Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. Allow the layers of a sketch an opportunity for you to improvise.
