Maple leaf parcel card

Description

A dark green card has a 'parcel' of tracing paper stamped with a brushed evergreen branch design, folded over a white card and tied with ribbon. A cut-out maple leaf completes the design.

Materials used

• Dark green greetings card 104mm x 152mm (4¼ in x 6 in)
• Stamp Maple Leaf E1046 by PSX
• Stamp Brushed Evergreen Branch D2413 by PSX
• Dauber Duos UM Copper/UM Bronze No. 053
• Green ribbon
• Tracing paper
• White card 95mm x 135mm (3½ in x 5¼ in)
• White paper
• Hole punch
• Double-sided tape or adhesive

Method

Stamp the white card that is going to be the inside of the 'parcel' with the brushed evergreen branch stamp inked with the Dauber Duos. These are stamped in a random design. Also stamp the back of the tracing paper with the branch stamp. In this way you get a reverse of the design when the card is complete.

Stamp a maple leaf, inked with the Dauber Duos, on white paper and cut it out. Punch a hole in the leaf to thread the ribbon through.

Wrap the tracing paper around the rectangle of white card and tape or glue it in position at the back.

Tie the 'parcel' up with green ribbon including the maple leaf as shown on the card above.

Fix the 'parcel' to the card with double-sided tape or adhesive.

Product availability We regret that we are unable to advise the reader of a source of supply for the materials used in the projects on the Card Making Inspirations web site. The layouts and techniques used in these projects are timeless. However, products such as stamps, stickers and patterned papers are quickly discontinued to be replaced by new items. When this happens we suggest that there is a lot of satisfaction in finding an alternative product that suits the design.
