My favorite new bundle – Beauty of Friendship Bundle

Welcome again to our New at SU Blog Hop. For the month of June, we were asked to create a project using our favorite Bundle from the new annual catalogue. It was pretty hard to choose just one, so with Fathers’ Day just around the corner I decided to use the new Beauty of Friendship bundle . I love this bundle and I guess I am not the only one. We are two others offering projects with this bundle. It was hard to choose. My card was inspired by Lisa Curcio.

To start with, I used a piece of 8-1/2 x 1-5-1/2 Mossy Meadow cardstock, folded in half on the 8-1/2 side at 4-1/4.

On the front of the card starting at the fold, mesure in 1-1/4 inch in and cut down. Repeat this at the other end.

Cut two panels of Misty Moonlight cardstock at 1-1/8 x 5-3/8, two DSP panels at 1-5-1/4. Glue the DSP to the cardstock and glue to each of the side panels.

Open the card and attach the two panels using a 1-1/4 x 5-3/8 window sheet.

For the middle panel, I cut a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock at 2-3/4 x 4 and a piece of contrasting DSP, 2-5/8 x 3-7/8, glued the two together and adhered them to the middle panel.

For the inside, I used a piece of Basic White (5-3/8 x 4). I glued two panels of cardstock 1-1/4 x 4 and two DSP pieces at 1-1/8 x 3-7/8. I glued these to the very edges of the white cardstock and then glued to the inside. The middle panel should fall between the two inside panels.

I cut the large tree from the DSP (wood pattern) and just the top of the same tree and glue the opposite side to the branches. I glued the tree to the right panel of the card, being careful to put dimensionnals only where the tree hit the panels. I did the same with the small tree and attached it also with dimensionnals.

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of DSP from the In Good Taste collection and the stamp set Handsomely Suited and glued it to the window sheet panel. I finished by adding some twine and Guiled Gems and a couple of birds.

I hope you enjoyed this project. You can see a list of all the material used at the bottom of this image. If you don’t have a demonstrator in Canada, I would be thrilled to assist you with anything you may need. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
