Hello ! Welcome to my very first Blog. Please bare with me as I learn how to blog. I hope you have as much fun making this card as I did.
I have wanted to make an impossible card for some time now and was a little intimidated by the instructions. I found a YouTube video and discovered the card is very easy. I thought it would be the perfect card to use the Ornate Suite, Strong and Beautiful sentiments and Beautifully Braided punch.

Supplies needed:

Ornate Garden Suite Collection (English) [154153] Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set [148732] Beautifully Braided Bundle (English) [153821] Crushed Curry 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [131199] Crushed Curry Classic Stampin' Pad [147087] Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad [132708]

So Saffron Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [149557] Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Markers Combo Pack [147274] Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] Paper Trimmer [152392] Take Your Pick [144107]

Silicone Craft Sheet [127853] Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755] Big Shot(retired) [113439] Soft Suede Light Stampin' Blends Marker [146874] Mini Glue Dots [103683]

Project Recipe:

1. Template Included.
   Cut card base at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" out of Crushed Curry paper.
2. Score at 2 1/8 " on the (4 1/4" side).
   * See template
   ** There is a mistake on the template it states score at 2 1/4" it should state score at 2 1
   /8"
3. Cut a line on the 5 1/2" side at 2 3/4" to the score line. The cut will be in the middle of the long side.
   Turn card to other side and cut two lines at 1 1/4" to the score line at both ends.
   *See template
4. Take the card base and face the side with the single cut towards you and with your right hand flip the right hand side of the card down and towards you.
   I then cut the flap that stands up down to 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"
5. Using the template cut two mats out of the Ornate Garden Specialty DS paper.
   Using Tombow glue, glue the DS paper mats to the card base.
6. Cut a 1" by 5 1/4" piece of crushed curry card stock. Use the Beautifully Braided punch and punch out the braid.
   Using Tombow glue, glue braided piece to front of card about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the card.
7. Stamp three of the daisies from the Ornate Style stamp set onto white card stock.
   Color the middle of the daisies with the Light Soft Suede Stampin' Blend Marker. I outlined the daisies with Dark SO Saffron and colored the rest of the flower using the Light SO Saffron. (I now wished I would have colored the daisies with the Crushed Curry Marker).
   I highlighted the veins in the leaves with Dark Granny Apple Green and colored the rest of the leaf with Light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend markers.
   I then hand cut out the daisies and leaves.
8. I used the small stylus on the Take Your Pick tool and the Silicone Craft Sheet and I rubbed the stylus over the dailies and leaves to give them some curl.
   Use a dimensional and adhere one daisy to the lower left corner of the card. Use glue dots on the two remaining daisies and leaves and cluster near the first daisy.
9. Stamp Happy Mother's Day from the Strong and Beautiful stamp set on a scrap piece of Crushed Curry card stock using Black Memento Ink. Fussy cut out the sentiment and sponge edges with Crushed Curry Ink, Adhere to card diagonally using mini dimensionals.
10. Cut a 2 7/8" x 1 1/8 piece of Crushed Curry card stock and round the corners. Sponge edges with Crushed Curry Ink. Stamp sentiment from the Strong and Beautiful stamp set, in the middle using black Memento Ink.
11. Using the Big Shot die cut out the 2" x 3 1/2" ornate layers frame, using Ornate Garden DS paper.
    Glue the sentiment to the above DS paper.
    Then use dimensionals to adhere to the 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 tab that is standing up on your card.
    You're card is finished. I hope you had a great time making this card.
