Ornate Garden Buckle Card

It's getting harder to self isolate during is Covid-19 pandemic so I'm continuing to challenge myself to create at least one project per day.
Today's project is a card fold I have seen often on Pinterest and You Tube - a Buckle Card - using the Ornate Garden DSP, which is part of an Ornate Garden bundle available for order as of April 1



Card Base and Strap


  • Mint Macaron is one of the colours in the Ornate Garden DSP so I chose that for the card base and the buckle strap.
  • Cut a 4 1/4 by 8 1//2" piece of Mint Macaron card stock and score at 3".  Fold at the score line to form the card fold. Burnish.
  • Cut a 2 by 4 1/4" piece of Mint Macaron and score at 1".  This is the strap. Fold at score line and burnish fold.
  • Add adhesive to the inside of the 1" fold line of the strap and add to the middle of the wrong side of the 2 by 4 1/4" piece of DSP. (gold pattern on a Mint Macaron background) 
  • Adhere to inside of card.
  • Stamp a sentiment on a 2 1/4 by 4" piece of Whisper White and adhere to the inside next to the DSP.



Card Front:

  • Add a 2 3/4 by 4" piece of DSP (Daisy pattern) to front flap.
  • Using the Classic Label Punch, punch an opening for the card strap 1/2" from edge of card front. Insert the strap in the opening.
Embellishment:
  • Using a scrap piece of  Whisper White card stock,  punch 4 flowers using the Small Daisy Punch.  Apply Daffodil Delight ink to the flower petals and Soft Suede to the centers.  Shape flowers and add 2 together alternating petals (2 flowers).  Add a Perrential Essence Floral center to each flower center.
  • Punch 4 leaves in Old Olive using the Leaf Punch. Shape and add 2 leaves to each flower.
  • To cover the buckle opening, die cut a Stitched So Sweetly Die.  Stamp a sentiment near the bottom. Add to the card front with dimensionals.
  • Add one flower/leaf to this die cut.
  • Add the other flower/leaf on the strap, on another Whisper White  Stitched So Sweetly Die.
