I can't believe that it took me so long to start playing with the Artistically Inked suite - the stampset, the dies and the DSP are beautiful!

I love the simplicity, versatility and beauty of this cardfront. And because the leaves are only adhered with two glue dots, they jump off the paper! My team members will love this!

~The double-sided paper allows you to choose flowers or greenery.  
~This can be used for any occasion and sentiment.

Items Needed:

Paper: Evening Evergreen, Basic White, Gold Metallic Paper, Expressions in Ink DSP

Embossing Folder and Dies: Tasteful Textile folder and Artistic dies

Embellishments: Brushed Metallic Dots or Brushed Brass Butterflies

  • Cut Evening Evergreen paper to 8½" x 5½", score at 4¼" to create cardbase.
  • Cut Basic White to 5¼" x 4" and emboss using the Tasteful Textile folder.

  • Adhere the embossed Basic White piece to the cardbase.
  • Cut 4 pieces of the DSP to ¾" x 3".  Adhere to the Basic White in a staggered style using dimensionals.  
    • Helpful hint:  Start with the top right and the lower left first so that you can space them evenly.

  • Use the long leaves die to cut the leaves from the gold paper. 
    • Helpful hint:  Run it through the embossing machine a few times, then use the brush end on your "Take you Pick" tool to remove the tiny pieces.




  • Add two glue dots to the back of the leaves where shown with the black dots. Adhere to the DSP.



  • Add your embellishments -dots or butterflies!
