Forever Friends - June 2021 Class

Here are the cards from my Forever Friends stamp and go class.  They have best friends—both people and critters plus some pretty flowers thrown into the mix.  Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.  Thanks for stopping by!

20210626 June class cards

 

Card 1: Field of Poppies

This poppies card is simple but striking in black and white.  The poppies add a little pop of color.  I used Poppy Parade blends on this card but any color will work.  The basic black scalloped frame was cut using a scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and measures 3 5/8” x 2 ½” cut out.

Here is the recipe:

  • Stamp Sets: Painted Poppies, Inspired Thoughts
  • Basic White cardstock 8 ½ x 5 ½” and 3 ¼ x 2 1/8”
  • Basic Black cardstock 2 ¾ x 4 ¼” to cut out the rectangle scalloped frame
  • Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Stampin’ Blends: Poppy Parade
  • Stitched So Sweetly Dies
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

 

Card 2: Bear Pocket

This card is a fun fold, that was inspired by a swap I received.  The checked piece is made from a 4 x 12” strip of designer series paper.  It was scored at 4” and 8”.  The left panel was folded up on the diagonal and the right panel was folded down on the diagonal. The folded right triangle was attached along the bottom edge to form a pocket.  The bear piece was attached to the left panel triangle.  A 3 ½ x 3 ½” piece of white cardstock is tucked inside for a message.  The pocket can also hold a gift card.

Card 3: Riding Along

Riding along with your best friend, sister or pal!  A happy day and the best of times.  Because the image was large, the Stamparatus was used to help with stamping the image and placing it in the center of the white cardstock.
