Garden Gatherings Birthday Panel Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Garden Gatherings stamp set and Paper Medley Designer Series Papers (DSP).  The elongated hexagon from the Nested Essentials dies provides a perfect raised panel for the simple vase of flowers.  Even though I used only the stamp set for this card, it is certainly worth getting the bundle, as the dies that coordinate with this set expand your design options greatly!  It's well worth it!

Techniques include two-step stamping, die cutting and a panel card fun fold.

Beverly's Tip of the Day

A panel card is an easy way to create a card a little out of the ordinary without any fuss.  A panel card is simply a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 panel with a smaller piece folded at the top, creating a tent card in the center.  Panel cards are usually shown in the landscape orientation, so creating one in the portrait orientation gives it a little extra something.  

Using the elongated hexagon dies, or any long, narrow shape for the card front continues the vertical presentation of the card, while keeping the overall card stunning and simple.
