Hello, Sharing a +Trimcraft Ltd Design Team project with you today. The characters in the new Santoro Mirabelle collection are
simply stunning, I particularly love the stamps and for my first stamped design I chose
the ‘Waiting’ character.
For the bow on the front, I created these templates on my Cricut Explore in Design Space (followers of my Blog and Facebook page can message me for the file link) or you can create your own bow shape using loops of double sided Mirabelle
paper or use a template if you prefer.
Step By Step:
- Score & fold white card to create a card base measuring approx. 8” x 5 ¾” in landscape position. From the 12x12 Mirabelle paper pad, cut rose patterned paper to cover the front panel, inking around the edges with a brown ink before attaching with d/s tape.
-
Cut a smaller rectangle approx. 6 ½” x 4 ¼” of grey
patterned paper, ink with brown ink and then adhere to card front using d/s
tape (positioning this panel more towards the top of the card). Tape a length of Mirabelle ribbon to just go
over the edges of the card front, fish tail ends, and then glue in place along
the bottom of the smaller paper panel.
-
Cut the Bow parts from double sided Mirabelle papers, pink
rose for the top box and brown stripe for the bottom bow. Again ink all cut edges with brown ink and
then bend and glue the loops into place onto the card front. Add 2 bow tails.
-
Stamp the ‘waiting’ girl character onto white card using
brown ink and colour with First Edition markers. Add extra highlights with a white gel pen and
edge around the image with a light grey marker pen.
When complete, glue a frame around her (from Decoupage pad) and trim card flush with edges. Apply a little brown ink coming into the white around the girl from the edges of the frame. Adhere stamped image to centre of bow on card front using layered 3D foam and a dab of glue.
-
Cut satin ribbon (from Mirabelle Satin Tags) into 2
different size lengths, fish tail 1 end of each piece and add to card front at
each side of card front, coming down from the top. Add a Glitter glue dot to the end of
each. Add the satin tag ‘Just for you’
across the stamped image and onto the bow at RH side.
-
Take 2 green leaves (Simply Creative) and a Mirabelle yellow
rose, ink the rose with brown ink and assemble with the leaves at bottom RH
corner of card.
To finish add a Pearl Charm to top left of card and 3 glitter dots to bottom left.
