Floral Celebrate Greeting Card

Step 1: Blend the Edges

Begin by blending around the edges of your A2 porcelain card panel with medium teal ink. This adds a lovely, subtle border to your card.

Step 2: Center the Card Panel

Next, tape the card panel centered on the plastic Betterpress top. Ensure it is securely in place to avoid any movement during the next steps.

Step 3: Set Up the Registration Template

Tape the registration template to the magnetic insert on the chase. This will help you line up your plates accurately.

Step 4: Position the Celebrate Plate

Line up the “Celebrate” plate to the template, ensuring it’s perfectly aligned.

Step 5: Ink the Celebrate Plate

Ink up the plate with medium pink ink. Make sure the ink is evenly distributed for a clean impression.

Step 6: Run Through Die Cutting Machine

Run the chase through your die cutting machine. Once done, carefully remove the plate from the template.

Step 7: Position the Floral Plate

Line up the floral plate to the template. Attention to detail here ensures a stunning final product.

Step 8: Ink the Floral Plate

Ink the floral plate with dark teal ink. This will add a beautiful contrast to your card.

Step 9: Remove the Panel

Remove the panel from the Betterpress top, taking care not to smudge the ink.

Step 10: Paint the Flowers and Leaves

Smoosh light pink ink on your work surface, then pick it up with a wet watercolor brush marker. Paint the little flowers with light pink ink, followed by painting the leaves with medium teal ink.

Step 11: Die-Cut the Panel

Die-cut the panel using a small scalloped rectangle die for an elegant finish.

Step 12: Trim the Color Panel

Trim the color panel to 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″. This will create a nice layered effect when assembled.

Step 13: Attach the Color Panel

Using a tape runner, attach the color panel centered on a white A2 card base. Ensure it is firmly in place.

Step 14: Attach the Pressed Panel

Finally, attach the pressed panel centered on the color panel with a tape runner.
