Hello! I'm so glad it's the weekend, how about you? Even more reason to celebrate: it's time for a new sketch at Card Patterns!
I rarely make a circular card, but it's always a fun change of pace when I do. I had WPlus9's pocket dies on my desk when I went to work on this card, so I knew immediately that I wanted to use them.
I first cut a circle card base from Rustic White cardstock with my largest circle Nestie. I punched a scalloped border from Wisteria Wonder cardstock and layered a strip of Rustic White on top. The strip is stamped with stitches from PTI's Faux Ribbon and a sentiment from Tag-its #3.
I stamped the sun image from WPlus9's A Pocketful, then the stitched border on the kraft pocket. After attaching the pocket with foam adhesive, I wrapped yellow baker's twine around the card front and pocket.
The last step was cutting a Wisteria frame with my Spellbinders Nesties and attaching it to the card base.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Wisteria Wonder), Papertrey Ink (Rustic White, Kraft)
Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (A Pocketful), Papertrey Ink (Tag-its #3, Faux Ribbon)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight)
Tools: Spellbinders (circle, scalloped circle dies), WPlus9 Design Studio (pocket die), Fiskars (border punch), Papertrey Ink (Linen & Canvas impression plate)
Accessories: The Twinery (Lemondrop baker's twine)
I love the pop of bright yellow on this card! It reminds me of spring, even on a snowy day like today.
