Close To My Heart Borders – Australasian Blog Hop

A Happy Hello and welcome aboard our Borders Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

The things I love about clear stamps is that you can manipulate them to be a slightly different shape than they intended to be.

And well sometimes with border stamps because they are long & thin, it is easier to manipulate then into curve then keeping them straight.

What I also love about borders (no matter if they are stamped images, die cuts or digital cuts) they help form a feature to your papercraft project.

So with that in mind I created this card using the Scalloped Border from the Dainty Patterns Stamp Set & not only curved it, but fussy cut it out so you could reveal the pattern paper underneath.

I first stamped the curved Scalloped Border onto white daisy cardstock & then fussy cut out the Scalloped Border. I stamped daisy bunch from the Daisy Daisy stamp set, twice & coloured in the flowers with the TriBlend™ Markers & fussy cut them out.

I had to work out if I wanted the flowers above or below the curved Scalloped Border & if which pattern paper I wanted, once I did that I added another border from the Daisy Daisy stamp set around the edge of the card front.& finished off with a sentiment from the It’s the Little Things—Cardmaking Stamp set.

The theme was to create with borders and what I love about the clear stamps is that you can curve them which is perfect for this scalloped border stamp from Close To My heart Dainty Patterns. #ctmh #closetomyheart #stamping #papercraft #craft #daisy #flowercard
