If you’re wanting to make masculine cards, the new Grassy Grove Bundle could be your answer. Today’s card is a “quick & easy,” single layer card. After using the large Grove Die to cut from Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper ( 5 1/4″ X 4 1/4″), my card was practically finished.
Grassy Grove Deer
Next, I used a long, narrow, Grove Die to give the trees shape along the top.
After gluing the grove of trees to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I cut the two deer from the backside of the Beauty of the Earth DSP. I like the way the woodgrain gives them definition. Then, I doubled them with cardstock for thickness, and glued them in place. Aren’t they cute?
You can see all of the Beauty of the Earth patterns in my Product List below.
The sentiment, “celebrating all the wonderful things about you,” is from the Queen Anne’s Lace Stamp Set, stamped in Espresso Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After cutting with the Double Oval Punch, I brushed the edge with Mossy Meadow Ink on a Sponge Dauber, and attached the sentiment with Dimensionals.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.
