More Basic Borders

I really love the Basic Borders, they take cutting card into pieces to a whole new level. I especially love that both sides of the cut are finished with the stitching. For today’s card, I attached a strip of the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card. I cut another piece of Basic White card using the Basic Borders Dies and attached it so that it covered the top edge of the Designer Series Paper. I stamped the hibiscus flower from the Timeless Tropical stamp set onto Basic White card using Flirty Flamingo ink. I cut out the flower using the co-ordinating In The Tropics Die.

I stamped the frangipani flower from the Timeless Tropical stamp set onto Basic White card three times, using Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo ink. I cut out the frangipani flowers using the co-ordinating In The Tropics Die. I stamped the large leaf from the Timeless Tropical stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Old Olive ink and cut them out using the co-ordinating In The Tropics Die. I also cut Old Olive card three times using the small leaf die from the In The Tropics Die. I attached the leaves to the flowers before layering them onto the card front. I added small Basic Rhinestones to the centres of the Frangipani flowers.

To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the birthday greeting from the Timeless Tropical stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the frangipani flower from the Timeless Tropical stamp set onto Basic White card using Flirty Flamingo ink and cut it out using the co-ordinating In The Tropics Die. I attached the flower onto the Basic White card beside the greeting.

I think I could get addicted to this beautiful Designer Series Paper and these gorgeous dies! I have used three patterns from the Designer Series Paper pack and the patterns have co-ordinated with three different stamp sets.

Bye for now,
