Go To Card Layout Featuring Darling Donkeys

Is your creative mojo failing you? Are you feeling overwhelmed with where to start making a card with your new stamps, ink, and paper?  

Have no fear! This simple layout can be used with any stamps and paper to create a pretty card.  Add embellishments to dress it up and you have a go to card to use for any occasion.




Today I am playing with the Darling Donkeys stamp set and Flower and Field Designer Series Paper that you can earn free for the next 5 days with a $50 + purchase.

SPECIAL OFFER: The next person who makes a purchase of $50+ in my online store and uses my host code CE66VKNZ will receive the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set, a Flower and Field Designer Series Paper pack and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends.  




Directions:

Prep:
1) Cut a card base that  is 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

2) Die cut or punch a 2 1/4" circle from Basic White cardstock.

3) Die cut or punch a 2 1/2" circle from the same colored cardstock as your card base.

4) Cut a 1" x 4" strip of cardstock from the same colored cardstock as your card base or Basic Black.

5) Cut a piece of 4" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper and then trim off  3/4" x 4" section from the bottom.  Retain that piece.

6) Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock.

7) Cut a 12" piece of ribbon that coordinates with your paper.  Tie a bow and save yourself a 2" scrap of ribbon.  

Stamp:
8) Stamp a focal image and sentiment on your 2 1/4" Basic White circle using Memento Black Ink.

9) Color in your image as desired using Stampin' Blends Markers.

10) Stamp a sentiment on the 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White cardstock layer and stamp an image to decorate the edges.




Assemble:
11) Adhere the Basic White cardstock layer inside your card base using Seal adhesive leaving a 1/8" border around the sides.

12) Adhere the 4" x 5 1/4" Designer Series Paper layer to the front of your card base using Seal adhesive leaving a 1/8" border around the sides.

13) Adhere the 3/4" x 4" strip of Designer Series Paper to the 1" x 4" card stock layer.

14) Adhere the 2" strip of ribbon around the 1" x 4" strip perpendicular to the strip about an inch from the left side using Seal + adhesive.

15) Adhere your bow in the center of the ribbon strip using a glue dot.

16) Adhere the 1" x 4" cardstock layer across the center of the card front using Seal + adhesive.

17) Adhere the 2 1/4" Basic white stamped circle to the 2 1/2" cardstock circle using Seal adhesive. 

18) Adhere the Circle layers over the right hand side of the 1" x 4" cardstock layer using Dimensionals.
