Oh So Inspired Collab May 2024: Friendship Bouquet Card + May 2020 SheetLoad of Cards Tutorial!

Oh So Inspired Collab May 2024: Friendship Bouquet Card + May 2020 SheetLoad of Cards Tutorial! Hey there, card-making enthusiasts! If you're anything like me, you love a good crafty challenge, especially when it comes with a pinch of creativity and a dash of fun. Well, do I have a treat for you! The Oh So Inspired Collab May 2024 has arrived, and we’re diving headfirst into creating a beautiful Friendship Bouquet Card with the bonus twist of the May 2020 SheetLoad of Cards. Sound like a lot? It is, but trust me, it’s totally worth it! Let’s get crafting, and I promise you, there’ll be laughs along the way (because what’s crafting without a few oops moments, right?). Step 1: Gather Your Materials Before we dive into the magic of creating these cards, you’ll need a few supplies. Don’t worry, this is simple stuff—no need to raid the craft store just yet (unless you want to, but I won’t stop you). Here's what you’ll need: Cardstock (for the card base) Patterned Paper (make sure it has a happy vibe—because, well, it’s for FRIENDSHIP!) Stamps, Ink Pads, and Embossing Powder (you know, the usual suspects) Dies or Punches (for all those cool shapes) Ribbons and embellishments (because what’s a bouquet without a little sparkle?) Now that you have everything laid out (or tossed in a pile like I do... no judgment), let’s move to the next part. Step 2: The Friendship Bouquet Design Alright, so the Friendship Bouquet Card is all about creating a card that screams, “Hey, I’m thinking of you!” without actually screaming (that’d be weird). We’re going for elegant here—nothing too over-the-top, but enough to make your friends go, “Wow, did you really make that?” Yes, yes you did. Start by cutting your cardstock to the desired size. Pro tip: If you’re unsure about the dimensions, just Google it. Honestly, Google is like the wise aunt who always knows what’s up. Next, choose a lovely floral stamp that fits your theme. Stamp it in ink, and make sure the ink is fresh—we don’t want a sad, half-inked flower here. I mean, unless you’re going for that “mysterious wilted flower” look, but I doubt that's the vibe.
