How to re-create this card:

1. Create a top-folding A2 card base from light aqua cardstock.
2. Die cut the second largest Double Stitched Rectangle from white cardstock.
3. Die cut a second rectangle from white cardstock and ink-blend Meadow ink across the bottom portion. Trim the panel diagonally with a paper trimmer, then adhere it over the white rectangle with liquid glue.
4. Die cut the Starry Scallops Coverplate Die from white cardstock. Put the die cut back into the die cut to isolate three rows of circles, and cut again. Then trim away one additional row by double-die-cutting again so the panel fits the rectangle. Adhere it to the rectangle using thin foam dots.
5. Adhere the completed rectangle panel to the card base using liquid glue.
   
6. Create the colored scenes/decor for the bottle and can using the coordinating stencils:
   1. Stencil 1: A1 & C1: Ocean Breeze, Aquamarine
   2. Stencil 1: A2: Mint; C2: Lemon Whip
   3. Stencil 1: A3 & C3: Meadow
   4. Stencil 2: A4: Emerald City
   5. Stencil 3: A5: Evergreen
7. Die cut the can and bottle using the coordinating dies.
8. Mask off the bottle cap and ink blend Ocean Breeze ink across the top. Mask off the top of the can and ink blend Delicata Silver ink onto the lid.
9. Stamp "KindBrew Botanicals" onto the bottle using Aquamarine ink.
10. Stack the can and bottle with one additional blank die cut for added sturdiness.
11. Stamp and die cut the "Your Kindness is Refreshing" sentiment using Evergreen and the coordinating die. Stack the sentiment with two additional blank die cuts for extra dimension.
12. Adhere the can using thin foam tape.
13. Adhere the bottle, slightly overlapping the can, using a double layer of thick foam tape only along the right-hand side.
14. Adhere the sentiment using liquid glue.
15. Finish the card with three Leaf glitter drops.

One of my favorite ways to stretch my supplies is by finding new ways to use coverplate dies, and this card is a perfect example. By trimming the Starry Scallops Coverplate Die into a smaller accent panel instead of using the entire background, the texture supports the focal point without overwhelming it. Combined with the crisp color palette and layered die cuts, the result is a clean, modern design that's perfect for masculine cards or anyone who appreciates a fresh, graphic style.

I hope today's project inspires you to look at your coverplate dies a little differently. You might be surprised how many completely new backgrounds you can create simply by trimming, isolating, or repeating portions of the design. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I'll see you again soon!
