Floral See-Through Note cards
Hello crafters! Today I have some fun see-through A2 size note cards to share with you, featuring some really amazing die sets by Spellbinders!
To cut out the flower for the first note card, I used the “Fresh Picked Daffodil” die set. For the second note card, I used the “Fresh Picked Berries” die set. And, to cut out the flowers and leaves for the third note card, I used the “Colorful Burts Flower” die set.
What I love about these three sets is that the metal plates cut out really large and bold flowers. I find it to be very unique as I haven’t seen anything like this, and I find it amazing how these die cut flowers can fill a whole A2 size panel!
To create a see-through card base, I began by trimming 4 ½” off of the front of an A2 size top folding note card (5 ½” tall x 4 ¼” wide). Then, I cut this 4 ½” panel into 4 strips of 1” that I will use later. After that I adhered ¼” wide strips to the right and left side of the 1” flap left on my card base. I trimmed these vertical strips to be 5 ½”’ long. These two ¼” strips will serve as a base for my 1” pieces. I adhered three 1” strips on top of the two vertical ones. To make this front panel sturdy, I stacked another layer of the vertical and horizontal strips.
The color of cardstock that I chose for the card base is “Dune” by Spellbinders. For the daffodil I used “Dahlia” and “Velvet Rose” cardstock; for the berries I used “Poppy Field” and “Crimson”; and for the colorful burst flower, I used “Barely Peach”, “Peach Sorbet” and “persimmon” cardstock.
For the sentiment, I cut out the word “Thanks” using a metal plate included in the Spellbinders “Yana’s Layered Scripts” die set! Since this is a very thin die cut I stacked a few pieces that I cut out of cardstock scraps.
To add some sparkle, I went over sections of some of these flowers with a shimmer pen. And using an old stamp set, I stamped a sentiment inside the note card. I strategically stamped the sentiment behind a horizontal cardstock strip so the sentiment is only visible when the note card is opened!
At the end of this post there is a list of all supplies used to make these see-through note cards. I had a lot of fun creating these cards and I really like how they turned out. I hope you liked it too and felt inspired! Thank you so much for visiting my blog today and happy crafting!
