Mass-Produce Beautiful Cards with Soft Meadow | Kathleen Schmelz

Hi everyone! It's Kathleen here again and today I have my first card with the new Quiet Moments release to share with you!

Today's card is one of those quick and easy designs that looks much more time-consuming than it actually is. It's perfect for mass-producing, and you can easily simplify it even further if you're making a larger batch. You could also turn this design into a coordinating card set by simply switching up the color palette and sentiment for each card.

Let's take a look at how you can recreate it:

1. Prepare: (1) A2 top or side-folding card base & (1) A2 panel from white cardstock
   
2. Soft Meadow: 
   1. Ink blend the Soft Meadow stencils on the A2 panel:
      1. Stencil 1: Sheer Freesia
      2. Stencil 2: Opulence (let fade out toward the edges or in the center of some of the flowers)
      3. Stencil 3: Olive (heavier at the base; let fade out toward the tips)
      4. Stencil 4: Detail Black
   2. Line up the Soft Meadow stamp with the ink-blended leaves & stamp in Detail Black.
   3. Die cut the panel with the second-largest Dotted Nested Deckled Rectangle & set aside.
      
3. Sentiment:
   1. Die cut the smallest Dotted Nested Deckled Rectangle from a piece of white cardstock.
   2. Stamp a sentiment of your choice in Detail Black onto it.
   3. Optional: Add a small eyelet to each side of the label and thread colored string through them. Adhere the label with foam adhesive to the lower center of the Soft Meadow panel, wrap the thread around the panel, and secure the ends on the back.
      
4. Adhere the assembled panel with foam adhesive centered onto the card base.
5. Embellish to your liking. I added some small white dots with a white gel pen on some of the petals, and also Glossy Accents on the black flower centers.
