The Forever Fern set really does make me smile! I love the earthy tones of green and the stamps look so real. This may be my all time favorite stamp and I do hope it will carry over to the new annual catalog.
Soon the retired list for our current catalog will be available and I will post it here for all of you. So be sure to follow me so you will not miss that post!
I love the paper and I love making my own designer series paper using this set. Check out the Forever Fern 4 part video series on my You Tube Channel! CLICK HERE to watch the first video!
- Begin with a Shaded Spruce card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼”. Fold and burnish.
- Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Before you attach it to the card front, cut a 2 x4 piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series paper and layer it to the lower portion of the Soft Sea Foam panel.
- Wrap a piece of the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (pictured on page 161 in the annual catalog) around the Soft Sea Foam panel, covering the seam of the designer series paper.
- Next cut a 3 x 3” piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series paper and attach it to a 3 ¼ x3 ¼” square of Shaded Spruce cardstock. Attach the squares to the upper portion of the card front layering over the Soft Sea Foam layer, the designer series paper and the ribbon.
- Attach the decorated Soft Sea Foam layer to the Shaded Spruce card front.
- Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Layering circles to cut a Shaded Spruce and a Basic White circle. Stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink on the white circle and glue the two circles together.
- Attach the circle embellishment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow with using the Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and added it to the card front with a mini glue dot.
