Tutorial for dainty oval card

January 13, 2023

Today’s tutorial is for a dainty oval birthday card. The Dainty Flowers DSP is free with a £45 purchase during Sale-a-bration. One of the patterns of Dainty Flowers DSP has blocks of florals laid out as ovals and a central strip. I have included a cutting guide video below to help get the most from this paper.

Whilst this DSP co-ordinates with the Dainty Delight bundle from the January – April catalogue (p55), I was reminded of the daisies in the Sending Smiles bundle and so used those stamps for my card.

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the dainty oval birthday card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own (the order code for the Dainty Flowers DSP is 160834).

Start with an A6 portrait card of Rich Razzleberry. Cut a card front layer (3-7/8″ x 5-1/2″) of Crushed Curry card and adhere centrally. From the Dainty Flowers DSP, trim a (3-3/8″ x 5″) rectangle containing the floral oval pattern (see video below) and adhere centrally to the card front. Die cut out an inner oval from Basic White card with the Framed Florets dies. Using Crushed Curry ink, stamp the profile daisy from the Sending Smiles stamp set onto the oval. Add the daisy centre with Early Espresso ink. Using Old Olive ink, stamp the leaves to the side of the flower (masking the petals if needed). Add a sentiment from the set, to the right of the flower, using Rich Razzleberry ink. Pop the stamped oval up on the card front with dimensionals.

Here’s a short video with a few tips on cutting these block patterns of Dainty Flowers DSP. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel to see my quick cards and quick tips each week.

On the Basic White insert, using Rich Razzleberry ink, stamp another sentiment from the Sending Smiles set. Add the border of the Dainty Flowers DSP down whichever side suits the cut best (see video).
