Cheers for the dies in this Gorgeously Made Bundle. These leaves/plants look great diecut from every color I’ve tried so far.

I tore a small piece of the Azure DSP in half to add a fun element repeating the front leaf color inside. You could substitute any sentiment inside, but I really love this one from the Season of Chic stamp set.

Class Card #2 Measurements:

• Berry Burst cardstock base: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”; and 1 ½” x 4 ¼” to be torn and textured.
• Crushed Curry: 3” x 4 ¼” ish for diecut 
• Azure Afternoon: 3” x 4 ¼” ish for diecut 
• Gorgeously Made DSP with Freesia/Berry/floral strips as shown: 4 ¾” x 4” plus scrap to diecut label
• Gorgeously Made DSP coordinating pattern: ½” x 4”
• Basic white cardstock: 4” x 5 ¼” for inside panel
• Ribbon: 14”-15” ish

Class Card #2 Instructions:

• Cut, score and diecut as noted and pictured.
• Note: Make sure the “stitching” on the spiral die is facing toward the main portion of the DSP or cardstock before diecutting.
• Texture emboss the Berry strip, then tear off the top edge and use the leftover torn pieces (and/or scraps) to add texture over printed Berry areas on the DSP. 
• Stamp off before stamping Freesia “grass” onto Freesia areas of DSP and onto label, then stamp “grass” full strength on the inside panel.
• Stamp greeting on diecut label in Azure for  brighter color or in Night of Navy for darker/more visible sentiment.
• Wrap ribbon around the top of the Freesia print DSP before adhering flat to cardfront.
• Strategically adhere Azure leaves and Curry plant to the front.
• Pop up the embossed Berry strip with Dimensionals and add to bottom of cad, overlapping the DSP.
• Adhere stamped label to Berry strip.
• Stamp inside sentiment in Navy onto white panel, then adhere coordinating strip of DSP and adhere white panel inside. 
• Add embellishments if desired.
