How To Make Let’s Get Together Card

Learn how to make the beautiful Let's Get Together card with embossing folders and die-cutting!

Check out this pair of sitting white flamingos, facing each other and chilling.

And hey, there are these cute little pink flowers too.

Not to mention this massive tropical pink flower that's just stunning.

I've got these die cuts from the Large Die of the Month that go perfectly with the 3D Embossing folder, all decked out in philodendrons and flowers.

It's so gorgeous, I couldn't resist adding a bit of color to highlight the design.

1. Create a Card Base For The Let's Get Together Card

To begin the card, we're going to create a slimline (3 3/4″ x 9″) top-folding card base.  For tips on how to make a card base, click HERE.

2. Emboss A Tropical Background

To achieve the look of a darker background on your embossed images you will need to add ink directly to the “flat” side of an embossing folder.  Following that, place a piece of cardstock inside the embossing folder and run it through your die-cutting and embossing machine.  This technique works with white and colored cardstock.  To demonstrate, you'll want to use ink that is darker than the cardstock that you are using so that it will show up well.

For our card, we're using rustic wilderness distress oxide on peridot cardstock.  And, we're using Scattered Tropics, the May 2024 3D Embossing Folder from Spellbinders.

Lastly, we're going to decorate the background a bit more.  To do so, we're going to color the pretty little flowers with pink and lemon yellow prismacolor premier colored pencils to make them stand out.

3. Create the Sentiment

Now is the time that we need to put the sentiment together.  To do so, we're going to heat-emboss the Let's Get Together Soon sentiment from Let's Get Together Clear Stamp & Die monthly club kit.

To emphasize the sentiment, we'll heat emboss it with gold embossing powder right at the bottom of the small black rectangle.  Tips on how to get high-quality heat embossing results, click HERE.  Set it aside to coo for a minute.

Once it's cool, take blend your pink blending brush along the bottoms of the words to create a pink shadow.

4. Die-cutting for the Let's Get Together Card

Next, die-cut as follows:

• Sentiment plus three plain from Snowdrift
• Flamingos (one of each) – Snowdrift
• Beaks & Eyes- Onyx
• “Mouth” Pink Sand
• Small flowers – Fruit Punch
• Small flower centers – Chamomile
• Large flower petals – Fruit Punch
• Large flower center – Beeswax, Chamomile
• Philadendron & fern- Fern
•  Large leaf that's folding over – Rainforest, Fern

5.  Assemble The Let's Get Togethr Card

To finish the card, we'll start by trimming the background to 8 1/2″ x 3 1/4″.  Following that, layer the sentiments and put tether the flamingos, flowers, and leaf with liquid glue.

Next, we'll trim a white liner sheet to 3″ x 8 1/4″ and then fasten it to the back of the embossed panel.  After that, remove the remaining backing paper and attach the panel centered on the card front

Lastly, decide which pieces should be the farthest back and fasten them to the card front with liquid glue.  And then add dimension by layering and using foam squares.

And, that's all there is to this lovely tropical card to send to someone you miss.
