Charming Day, Textured Notes, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a wedding card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Damask Design" embossing folder. I cut it to measure 3-3/4" x 5" and I glued it to the front of the card.

Next I cut the Basic Black layer and Basic White layer using the dies from the "Textured Notes" die set. I used the 3rd and 4th largest dies. I taped the two layers together. 

The rose was cut using a die from the "Charming Day" bundle. I cut it out using Granny Apple Green card stock that had a double sided sticky sheet added to it to make it into a sticker to make it easier to set in place. You can also use glue to put affix the piece. As for me, I'm lazy and take the easy way out when I can (or when I remember). Then I just cut the flower part using Real Red card stock. I had to trim a little off the Real Red piece so it would look like there was the green coming from underneath the flower. When cutting the red card stock the green part was red. If I had taped it like it was it would not have looked very nice. I just simply trimmed around the flower bottom and then taped it on top of the Granny Apple Green piece. I removed the protective sheet from the back of the piece and set it in place on the black and white layered piece. The red piece was taped on top of the green flower. Make sure you get it on there exact or the green will show. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the black and white layered piece and it was set in place on the front of the card.

The words were printed on my computer. I didn't have any stamps that would work for that space so I printed them. Then I cut them out using the retired die from the "Heart Shaped" bundle. 

I thought the card could use a little something more, but what? Then I thought that some Wink of Stella on the rose would be a nice touch and it turns out that it was! And the card was complete.

This was a very quick, easy and simple card to make. It's a fun layout and I was glad I was able to use that flower die. I didn't think I would because I couldn't envision it in my head. But as it turns out it ended up looking pretty nice and now I need to figure out another way to use it! It's always good to try to use all of the pieces in the stamp bundles, right?

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,

Simply Said, Extraordinary Flora, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today's card has a few pieces to it but it did go together pretty fast. Please read on to see how I made it.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 3" x 4-1/4" piece of Basic White for the large layer. On top of that layer are three strips of Basic White card stock that was textured using the "Damask Design" embossing folder. After embossing it I cut the pieces at 4" x 1", 4" x 7/8" and 4" x 1/2". I glued them to the large layer and then that was taped to the front of the card.

Using the two smaller dies from the "Stylish Shapes" set, I cut them using Basic White card stock. I taped the little one to the larger one. I added Dimensionals to the back and set it in place on the front of the card about 1/2" from the top edge and 1/4" from the fold. 

A flower from the "Extraordinary Flora" washi tape roll was set on the rectangles using Dimensionals. I had some parts leftover from cutting a section of them from a previous card. I have a little baggie full of parts! 

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using Gorgeous Grape ink. They were in the stamp set and I thought I'd use it. It blended in well enough with the color of the flowers. It set in place using Dimensionals.

This was a fun card to make and would make a great wedding, get well, thinking of you or thank you card too.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Heart Shaped, Elements of Text, Happy Hibiscus, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a beautiful card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. I did a little research on the card so I could find any instructions. There were no measurements to be found so please read on to see how I put this card together. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock, it opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. I cut another 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock and using my Blending brush I scrubbed on some Balmy Blue ink. Then I stamped the words from the "Elements of Text" using black Memento ink. I took my Basic Black marker and flicked/splattered some dots all over the place. Then I tore the left side a bit. I glued this piece to the textured piece. I thought it felt a bit flimsy so I cut another piece of Basic White card stock just a hair shy of 3-3/4" x 5" and glued it to the back of the textured piece. I slipped it under my stamping mat with a book on top to keep it flat. 

In the meantime I cut out the Basic White heart from the "Heart Shaped" bundle. I took another piece of Basic White card stock and scrubbed on some Granny Apple Green ink. I flicked on some Basic Black dots/splatters and cut a heart out.

The flowers were cut from a piece of card stock I had colored a few weeks back. I had used Pretty in Pink, Petal Pink, Melon Mambo, and Basic Beige inks. You just fill up a sheet of card stock with all of these fun colors and use it as needed. I still have a 1/4 sheet left to use for future card. There is a flower die in the bundle. I cut 8 flowers.

I used small Dimensionals to put the pieces on the front of the card. Using my silicone mat, I set a Dimensional on the back of the Basic White heart on the upper left and lower right. I set a flower on top of each one of those Dimensionals. I did the same to the bottom heart on the upper right part of the heart. 

I set the Basic White heart on first and then the Granny Apple Green heart next. By adding the Dimensinals the way I did I was able to get the hearts to stick plus the flowers on top all in one step. 

Next I added the rest of the flowers using small Dimensionals.

I colored 4 pearls using my dark Flirty Flamingo Blends pen. I set them in place on the flowers seen on the photo. Then I added three tiny pearls to the center of the remaining flowers.

The words are from the "Happy Hibiscus" bundle. I stamped them using black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I trimmed it to 5/8" x 3" and I snipped the ends. 

I took some thin gold cord and wound it around my fingers and put it in place using a Dimensional. I added the word piece by placing Dimensionals in places where they weren't on top of other Dimensionals. 

I turned the piece over, added Dimensionals to the back and set it in place on the card base, and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. It's got a lot of pieces to it but it's SO worth it. I LOVE how it turned out.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,

Wildflower Birthday, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Just like the "Storybook Moments" Designer Series Paper (DSP) this "Wildflower Birthday" package of DSP has punch-outs too. Two pages and they are beautiful. I used one two posts ago to make a get well card and today I thought I'd play with the papers again and make a wedding card. Please read on to see how I put today's card together.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Blueberry Bushel card stock for the layer. In the center of that piece I cut the shape from the center of the card stock using the "Countryside Corners" dies. I used the second largest one.

For the Basic White piece I used the third largest die and I textured it using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. I glued the Basic White piece to the Blueberry Bushel piece.

I cut a piece of DSP from the "Wildflower Birthday" 12" x 12" package that measures 3-3/4" x 5". I taped it to the Blueberry Bushel piece and then that was taped to the front of the card.

The cake piece was popped out from the die cut page. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on top of the Distressed Tile piece. Dimensionals were added to the back of the Blueberry Bushel piece and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I was looking through my stamps to see if I had anything with a "Mr. & Mrs." on it but no luck so I went to my computer and printed them out. I used the RGB color code to get the ink to print as close as possible to the Blueberry Bushel color. The code numbers are R=0, G=88, B=152. I printed them out on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the second smallest circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set. The next size larger was too big for the layer so I took out my old (retired) circle die set and cut a circle just a hair larger than the word piece. I taped them together. I set them on the front of the card using Dimensionals on the right side and tape (should have been glue) on the left side. I set it in place on the front of the card and the card was done. I had a scrap of Blueberry Bushel card stock or I would have just cut the circle from the piece behind the "Distressed Tile" textured piece. I'm on a mission to use up a lot of my scraps too and trying not to make any more unless absolutely necessary. 

This was such an easy and fun card to put together. I love these cut-outs and can't wait to play with them again. I need a birthday card soon and I'll see what I can come up with using these cut-outs.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,

Heart Shaped, Birthday, Wedding, Anniversary, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a very versatile card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White, it opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Petal Pink card stock for the layer.  On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4"piece of Basic White card stock that was textured using the new "Starstruck" embossing folder. I took my Blending Brush and Petal Pink ink and scrubbed some on to add a bit of color.

The panels were made by using the second size die in the "Everyday Details" set. I cut two of Basic White.

The circle was made by using the largest die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. In that same set was that ribbon piece. I cut it in half and taped each end to the back of the circle. I did use a rule to get them to be exactly across from each other. 

Next I cut the heart using the die from the "Heart Shaped" bundle. Yesterday I had made a full sheet of colors using Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake. I have lots leftover so I cut another heart and I cut one of Old Olive. I glued the Old Olive one down first and then the colored one. I cut three flower bunches from the set and used my Blending Brush and scrubbed on some Petal Pink. I think I may have added too much because it looks a bit like Pumpkin Pie but I kept it anyway. I glued them to the heart. In the photo it almost looks like they glow. In person it's not really that bright.

I die cut the word piece, it's a die from the same "Heart Shaped" bundle. I didn't know what this card should be. It just wasn't speaking to me. Wedding, Anniversary, Friendship?  What's it telling you?

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in today,

Layers of Beauty, Best Family Ever, Adventurous Sky, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm glad you found your way here. I have a fun and easy card to share with you. This card can be used for a number of occasions. Today I chose birthday. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White for the top layer.

The strips are 1" wide each. One is 4" long and the other is 5-1/4" long. I scored them on my scoring board. I started in the middle at 1/2". I scored two more on each side of the center score. I did this for both pieces. I turned them over because the bumpy side is the one you want on top of your card. I used glue to set mine in place because I didn't want to squish down the bumps. The 4" one was glued down first, it's about 1-1/2" up from the top layer piece. And the 5-1/4" piece was glued on about 5/8" from the left edge of that top layer piece. 

I cut 2 squares from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I used the two smallest on a scrap of Basic White card stock. I taped the small one on top of the larger one. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card about 1-1/4" from the 4" x 5-1/4" layer and 3/8" from the left edge. I didn't press down on the piece yet because the words need to go between the two squares.

The little flower was found on my worktable. It had been cut off a larger stenciled "Layers of Beauty" flower. I had saved it thinking someday I would use it and someday came! And I was able to find it! I added that because I can easily lose things on my worktable!  The flower was added with small Dimensionals and set in place on the little square.

I stamped the words from the "Best Family Ever" set using black Memento ink. I cut them out using the die from the "Adventurous Sky" bundle. I used a couple of small Dimensionals on the right side and a little bit of glue on the left. I slipped the piece between the two squares and pressed down on all the pieces to set them in place. And that was it, the card was done. 

I didn't add any bling, I wanted to keep it clean looking. 

This would be a great wedding, anniversary, thinking of you, thank you, friendship, Christmas or get well card. There's lots you can do with this. I like this layout. It's so simple, it's quick and super easy to do.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Flowers of Beauty, Unbounded Beauty, Unbounded Love, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that came in my email. I wasn't surfing for it like I normally would be doing, I followed the link to the blog. You can see the original card here. I made a few changes and used what I had on hand. On page 22 of the Stampin' Up! 2024-2025 catalog there's quite a few card sketches to follow. This card used the 6th one. I may have to look harder at those sketches and see what I can come up with. Sometimes it's just the layout that is holding me back.  Anyway, please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Peach Pie card stock for the layer. On top of that layer is a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Basic White card stock that I textured using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. I glued the embossed piece to the Peach Pie piece and then I taped that to the front of the card.

Next came the panels in the back. For the layers I cut 3 pieces that measured 1-7/8" x 2-5/8" and the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Unbounded Beauty" 12" x 12" package was cut at 1-3/4" x 2-1/2". The layers were taped together and glued to the front of the card on top of the textured piece. The pieces are about 1/2" from the top and fold, bottom and fold with the middle piece being about 1/2" from the right side and centered between the two pieces.  But placing them goes as follows, the top piece was set in place first, the middle piece and then the bottom. 

The die cut pieces are from the "Flowers of Beauty" bundle. I cut one using Basic White card stock and the glitter paper I used is from a retired package of Champaign colored glitter paper. I die cut one and I had trouble removing the opening pieces so I cut another one and it was worse. What I ended up doing was removing the plastic like layer from the back and the piece cut so nice and clean. I plan on doing that with future glitter papers because I'm done struggling with them. That was why I wasn't using them. Now I know and away I go! LOL

Then I stamped the words from the "Unbounded Love" bundle using black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the die from the "Spotlight on Nature" bundle. It measures about 2-1/4".  So for those of you that don't have that set you can use a 2-1/4" circle die and it will still look nice. Dimensionals were added to the back of the circle and it was set aside.

I laid the die cut branch pieces on top of the card and then I laid the circle on top to see where I needed to adjust the branch pieces. I set the circle aside and added a little bit of tape under the branch stems so they would stay in place.

The backing was removed from the Dimensionals on the circle and it was set in place on the front of the card.

The cute little flowers are from the "Flowers of Beauty" bundle. There are two long strips of little flowers. There's two sizes, a large and a small. There's 8 of each. I cut one strip of each so now I have a bunch of little flowers for future cards. I glued a large and a small flower together and I glued that to the circle. I colored three crystal rhinestones using my light Pumpkin Pie Blends pen. I set them in place on the card. One on the upper right, one on the left about 1-1/2" down (hidden in the glittery branches) and one on the little flower.

The closest colored ribbon I had was some retired More Mustard grosgrain. I tied a bow and glued it in place and the card was done.

This was a very fun, quick and easy card to make (once I figured out the glitter paper issue). I do like how it turned out and I think I'll use this layout again.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Heartfelt Hexagon, Layered Florals, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have wedding card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 5-1/4" x 2-1/4" piece of gold foil card stock for the back layer.

The Basic White layer is was textured using the "Layered Florals" embossing folder, it measured 2" x 5". I glued it to the gold foil piece. Then I taped that piece to the front of the card about 1/4" from the bottom, fold and top. 

The focal piece was stamped using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" set and Wild Wheat ink. I stamped the border first and then the words. I punched them out using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" punch. I set the piece in place using Dimensionals and the card was done.

This is a very quick and easy card to make. It is exactly what was in my head when I thought about making this card. I thought it is a great wedding card.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,

Enduring Beauty, Days to Remember, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a versatile card to share with you. I made mine into a birthday card but it can be used for several other occasions. It's very easy to make and you can have the prettiest coloring you've ever done! I am amazed at how it turned out. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and I taped it to the front of the card.

A piece of Basic White card stock was used to die cut the postage stamp edged rectangle piece using the dies from the "Enduring Beauty" bundle. Then I textured it using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I glued that on top of the Daffodil Delight piece, centering it as much as I could by eyeing it.

I stamped the flower image using the stamp from the "Enduring Beauty" bundle on a piece of Basic White card stock with black Memento ink. I colored the piece in using the fun masks. They are numbered and have a "V" on the upper left edge so you really can't mess it up. Using my Blending Brush I colored the flowers in using Daffodil Delight ink. Then the next mask does the highlights. I scrubbed on some Crushed Curry and that was it for the flowers. Next was the leaves. I used Granny Apple Green and the next mask. And then the details on the leaves was done with another mask. I used Garden Green for that and the piece was all colored.  I set up my workspace to do several flowers at one time since I was getting the stencils all inked up. I set them aside and will make a card with them on another day. 

The bundle has a die to cut out the whole flower image. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the punch from the "Dual Oval" punch.

Using the same punch I punched out a Granny Apple Green scalloped oval. I taped the ovals together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card. And the card was done.

Isn't it pretty? I love the coloring, it looks SO perfect! I'm in awe!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Heartfelt Hexagons, Fresh as a Daisy, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a wedding card to share with you. I found the layout to this card here and of course I changed it a little. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Bubble Bath card stock and taped it to the card base.

Next I cut a 4"x 5-1/4" piece of Moody Mauve card stock and taped it on top of the Bubble Bath piece.

A 3-1/4" x 4-1/8" piece of Bubble Bath card stock was cut and the strips of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Fresh as a Daisy" 12" x 12" package was taped in place. Those strips measure 1" x 4" and you need three of them.

Once the strips were taped on the piece was set in place on top of the card. I eyed it so the left, top and right looked equal.

The words are from the "Heartfelt Hexagon" set and were stamped using Moody Mauve for the outer design and Copper Clay for the words but the two are so close in color that it looks like it was stamped with the same color.  I punched out the words using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" punch. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.  And the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I liked taping the strips and I was surprised that I didn't mix them up and have to play a matching game to get them sorted out, I usually do.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,

Days to Remember, Flight & Airy, Wedding or Anniversary Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a simple wedding or anniversary card to share with you.  I'm leaning more towards wedding. What do you think when you see this card? Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Boho Blue for the layer and a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock. I textured that piece using the "Layered Florals" embossing folder. I taped the Boho Blue piece on the card base and then I glued that to the embossed piece to the Boho Blue piece.

The birds are from the "Flight & Airy" 12" x 12" package. I punched them out using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" punch. I also punched out a Boho Blue hexagon. This could be done on the Boho Blue layer piece before you tape it to the card base. I had a piece that already had a large circle removed from the center so I had to use a separate piece of card stock. I took the Boho Blue piece and cut it in half. I taped one to the upper part of the bird piece and one to the lower part. Now it looks like it's got a nice big layer behind it. 

I die cut the ribbon piece using the largest die from the "Stylish Shapes" die set. I taped the layered bird piece to it. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. Using the same punch I punched out the scalloped oval on a scrap piece of Boho Blue. I taped the ovals together and then I glued them to the front of the card. And the card was done.

This is such a pretty elegant looking card and it was very quick to make.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding/anniversary card,

Flight & Airy, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I have a card to share with you that I happened on by a happy accident. When I was making the card I posted yesterday I had punched out several birds using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" punch. I just left them sitting on my worktable (of course I did) after finishing my card. I had opened up Pinterest today and this layout for the birds happened to pop up.  How uncanny is that? You can see the original card here. It's got a fun fold but I didn't make mine that way. Please read on to see how I made it.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Flight & Airy" 12" x 12" package. I taped this piece to the front of the card. 

A 1" x 5-1/4" piece of DSP from the same package was cut for the side strip. And a 1/2" x 5-1/4" piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock was cut and taped to the back of the 1" strip. About 1/8" piece of the Flirty Flamingo piece was left showing. This was then taped to the front of the card.

The birds are from the "Flight & Airy" package using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" punch. I taped the top and bottom one in place and the center one was added using Dimensionals.

Pearls were added to the sides of each hexagon and the card was done.

I think it's a pretty card but one that I don't usually make cards with no words on the front. I'm not sure what occasion this would fall under. I'm sure quite a few like Anniversary, thinking of you, Birthday, Wedding?  Not sure. I prefer cards with words on the front. It was fun to make and I do like the pretty colors. I'm amazed at how many cards can be made using the "Flight & Airy" DSP. Makes me wonder if I should have just gotten the paper instead of all the other stamp sets I bought and have hardly used because I keep making cards with this beautiful paper. LOL

Thank you SO much for stopping in to see today's card,

Layering Leaves, Anniversary Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I'm in the need of an anniversary card. Well, not today but this weekend but I didn't want to wait until the last minute to make it. I tend to forget! Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Smoky Slate card stock for the layer. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock that was textured using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. I glued that to the Basic Gray piece and then I taped that to the card base.

The Basic Gray squares measure 2" x 2", I cut two of them and the Basic White squares measure 1-7/8" x 1-7/8" and I cut two of them too. I taped the two together. They were glued to the front of the card, centering them as much as I could by eyeing it.

The words are from the "Layering Leaves" set and were stamped using Smoky Slate ink and then die cut using the third largest stitched die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. They Smoky Slate layer behind it was die cut using the second largest die from the same set. I taped the circles together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

I added some pearls to the front. I'm not fond of where I placed them but once you put them down they don't move nicely without ripping the card stock, so it is what it is.

This was a quick card to make and it's also versatile, can you see it being used as a wedding card?

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's anniversary card,

Timeless Arrangements, Days to Remember, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I was looking on the net for a wedding card to make and I ran across this one. You can see the original card here. What caught my eye was all of the frill around the word piece and the scored lines. SO I got out my supplies and dug in.

The first thing I did was to make the card base, it's a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock.

I took my scoring board and scored the front (on the inside of the card so the outside would have the bump and not a groove) and I scored at 1/2" from all edges. I think it should have been 3/8" but 1/2" worked just fine too. 

Next I die cut all the pieces from the "Timeless Arrangements" bundle using Basic White card stock. I die cut two of each of the designs. There are individual flower clusters, not attached that were die cut using Vellum. I cut one of each.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using Boho Blue ink. I die cut it with the die from the "Timeless Arrangements" bundle. Then I began adding the die cut pieces behind it. Some I snipped so they would fill in the open areas and some I just moved over a bit. The object was to fill in the areas. Once that was done I took some glue and glued in the Vellum pieces.

That whole piece was the added to the front of the card using Dimensionals.

A few pearls were added and the card was done.

This was a quick card but not as quick as it sounds on here. It did take a bit of time to die cut all of the pieces, many of them had to be carefully removed from the die.  But all in all it really didn't take that long and it's something I could see myself making again.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,

Darling Details, Happiness Abounds, Give It A Whirl, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have an easy wedding card to share with you. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the front of the card base. Then I cut another piece of Basic White card stock at 3-3/4" x 5".  I textured this piece by using my scoring board. I turned the piece over and going from right to left I started scoring it at 3-1/4" and finished at 1-5/8", making 14 scored lines on the card stock. 

Next I die cut the flowers from the "Darling Details" bundle using Basic White card stock. I die cut two of the long flowers and one of the shorter bunch. 

The circle and hearts are from the "Give it a Whirl" die set and were cut using Basic White card stock. Before I cut the hearts I textured them using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder. I tried to cover up as much of the brick as possible so I would mostly have bumpy texture. I glued the two hearts together. And the circle piece I ended up taping the circle back on using scotch tape. If I were to make another one I would see if the "Layering Circled" die set would have one that would cover most of the back of that piece so I could just glue it instead of taping it.

The words are from the "Happiness Abounds" set and were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using Smoky Slate ink. I trimmed them to measure 3-1/4" x 1/2".

I was now ready to assemble the card. Dimensionals were used on the back of the scored piece and it was set in place on the front of the card base. 

The circle was added next. Dimensionals were used on the back of it but I didn't press it in place because I needed to slip the die cut flower pieces under it. I had used a lot of Dimensionals on the back so I knew that the flower pieces would stick and the circle would stay in place too.

The hearts were added next using more Dimensionals. And then the word were added using even more Dimensionals!

I added a few pearls and the card was done.

This was a very easy wedding card to make and I do like how it turned out.

Layering Leaves, Countryside Inn, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today I thought I'd whip up a quick wedding card. This is a VERY quick card with minimal materials. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 3" piece of Balmy Blue card stock for the layer. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Countryside Inn" 12" x 12" package was cut at 3-3/4" x 2-3/4".  Before taping the two pieces together I had die cut the scalloped layer from the center.

First I stamped the words from the "Layering Leaves" set using Night of Navy ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock.  Then I die cut the words using the third largest stitched circle from the "Stylish Shapes" die set. Then I die cut the scalloped circle from the "Layering Circles" die set that was a bit larger than the stitched circle. I taped the two circles together.

Next I taped the DSP to the Balmy Blue card stock. I taped that piece in place on the front of the card eyeing the left, top, and right sides so they looked even. You can measure if you like but I just eyed it. You'd need about 1/8" on all three sided.

Then I took the word circles and set them in place on the card using Dimensionals. I eyed it so it was center across the bottom edge of the DSP layer and I just eyed what I thought looked good for the up and down part.  There's more of the circle on the bottom than there is on the top.  And the card was done.

If I were to make another one, I would take a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and texture it. Then I would put the DSP layer and word piece on top. After doing that I would glue the piece in place on the card base. I just think the bottom looks like it could use some texture.

This was as super quick and easy card to make too. And with the amount of DSP that was used, you could use use up a lot of scraps making cards for various occasions.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,

Around the Bend, Layering Leaves, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello!  As you can see I have not put away my "Around the Bend" set yet!  Like I put anything away right away.  LOL  I did have another card in my head and I needed to get it down on paper ASAP! And here's what I came up with. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut two 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock for the top of the card.  Actually you need three pieces.  On the bottom piece I stamped the words from the "Layering Leaves" set using Smoky Slate ink. 

Next I took another piece of card stock and cut the scalloped edged piece. I set it down far on the piece of card stock so there was lots of room at the top. Most of that will be cut away. I lined the die so what was hanging over was the same on each end. 

Then I took the other piece of card stock and before I cut the dotted curved piece I put the two pieces of card stock together with the scalloped one on the back and I held it up to the light to line it up so that the curve looked even across the card. I taped the die down and die cut the piece. 

I glued the dotted curved piece to the scalloped curved piece. Then I set it on top of the piece I stamped the words on so the scalloped edge was just a bit above the words. I cut the top part off so the piece measured 4" and I cut the sides so the piece measured 5-1/4".  I set the piece in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals.

The flowers are from the same "Around the Bend" set and were die cut using Basic White card stock. Lots of scraps can be used up making these flowers and leaves. Once I had a bunch of them cut I began placing them on the front of the card until I thought it looked nice. 

I glued some of the smaller flowers to the center of the larger flowers.  Then I taped two of the flowers in place and the third flower was set in place using a Dimensional. Glue was added to the bottom part of the leaves and they were slipped under the larger flowers.  

I thought the flowers needed something so I had some "Polished Dots" (retired) and added them to the center of each of the large flowers. I think the pearls would be pretty on there too.  I'm just trying to use up some of the stuff I have here.  Once the dots were added the card was done. 

I love white on white cards and I think this turned out pretty much like what was in my head!! Yay!!!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,

Dainty Delight, Framed Florets, Birthday or Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm happy you are here to see today's card. I'm not sure if it's a wedding card or a birthday card but I'm leaning towards a birthday card because of the words "special person".  Person meaning one and a wedding might read "couple".  Anyway, it's such a pretty card and with the right words could be used for a number of occasions. I found this card on the internet. You can see the original card here. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Balmy Blue card stock. After cutting the piece measured 4-1/4" x 11", it opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut two pieces of Basic White at 4" x 5-1/4", one for the inside and one for the outside. 

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Country Floral Lane" 12" x 12" package and was cut at 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".  I taped the DSP to the Basic White piece.

Next I die cut the pieces using the dies in the "Dainty Delight" bundle.  I used Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron, Sweet Sorbet, and Basic White card stock.

The Basic White piece was die cut using the third largest stitched circle in the "Stylish Shapes" die set. 

The words are from the "Framed Florets" set and were stamped on the Basic White circle using black Memento ink. 

To put the piece together, I taped the circle in place first. Then the long arched Mossy Meadow leaves piece.

Then the Mint Macaron tiny flowers on a stem were added. The Sweet Sorbet flowers were added next  and then the Daisies were added using small Dimensionals. I colored the Daffodil Delight centers using my Wink of Stella pen. The tiny leave were glued in place under the Sweet Sorbet flowers.

I added some blue gems I had in my stash and the card was done.

This was such a pretty card and I was glad I ran across it. I'm looking for some fun things to make while I'm waiting for my order to arrive. I just ordered yesterday but it feels like it's going to take forever. LOL

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's card,

Best Family Ever, Stylish Shapes, Anniversary or Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm happy you are here today. I have a fun card that uses some scraps! Who doesn't love using up scraps? Please read on to see how to make one of your own!

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I had started out with a half-sheet of Cherry Cobbler but the piece really looked like it needed a white border so I went with Basic White for the base and a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Cherry Cobbler for the layer. I did texture that layer using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder (pssst, the folder is NOT retiring, yay!!). I glued the Cherry Cobbler piece to the Basic White piece.

Next I took a piece Designer Series Paper (DSP) scrap from the "Awash in Beauty" 12" x 12" package. My piece measured 4-1/8" x 3-1/4".  You can use smaller pieces too, this was just how "tall" my piece was. I think if it were a bit shorter it might look better but I had no idea how to work this into a card so I winged it. I took that piece of DSP and cut it into 1-3/8" strips.  

Next I took a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock and I taped the DSP strips to it leaving about 1/8" space between them. To make the spaces even, I often cut a strip of card stock the width I need and I set it along the edge of the first piece I lay down and then add the next piece with that strip sitting in between as a guide. Then I trimmed the Mossy Meadow piece of card stock. It measured 4-1/2" x 3-1/2" when I was done. Now that I know those measurements I can make future cards with ease. Oh, one thing to remember is to keep the strips of DSP in order so they still for a picture when you tape them down. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on top of the Cherry Cobbler piece.

The words are from the "Best Family Ever" set and were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I die cut them using the die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. They were set in place using Dimensionals. 

The bow was sitting on my worktable. It was from a packet that Terri had sent me in a thank you gift package.  She even ties them for you before she packages them up! I used a dot of mono glue and slipped it slightly under the corner of the word piece. And the card was done.

This card design could be used for a number of other occasions as well as birthday. Fun, pretty and versatile too. Plus you get to use up scraps!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's card,

Sentimental Park, Celebrating You, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm so happy you came here to see this pretty wedding card and how it's made. I found it on Pinterest and of course I changed some things. You can see the original card here (if you promise not to compare!). Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card open son the right and the fold is on the left.

I took a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Pretty Flowers" embossing folder. I glued that piece on the front of the card base.

Next I took a 2-3/4" x 5-1/2" piece of vellum, and using my mono glue I affixed it to the right side of the card. 

Then I took a 1/4" x 5-1/2" strip of Basic White card stock and glued it over the edge of the vellum. 

The words are from the "Celebrating You" set and were stamped using Smoky Slate ink. You can also use Versa Mark and silver embossing powder if you like. I love the way the embossing powder looks, especially the silver but I don't like working with it so I opted for the ink instead. After stamping I die cut the words with the die from the "Sentimental Park" die set. 

Next I die cut a bunch of flowers from the same die set using Basic White card stock and vellum. I also used the "Bough" punch for the larger leaves. I punched four of them and a couple of them I cut down but I did save the leaves to tuck in here and there.

I took a piece of silver cord and wrapped it twice around my spread fingers. Then I twisted it to form a figure 8. I used a glue dot to hold that in place on the front of the card.  I set the word piece on top of it using Dimensionals. Try not put Dimensionals on it where it will touch the cord. Mine is a bit bumpy because I didn't think about that when I was slapping on the Dimensionals all over the place (I tend to use way too many Dimensionals).

Now for the flowers and leaves. I added the top left white one first and then worked down and around from there. I've stuck leaves and single leaves in here and there too. Just randomly place the flowers and leaves, it will look pretty any way you do it.

And for the final touch, pearls were added to the center of the flowers and a couple on the upper right side of the card. And your card is done. 

I think this would be a card you'd bring to the wedding with you instead of mailing because of all of the Dimensionals and pearls giving it too much height (over 1/4" and you have to pay more in postage and over 1 ounce you have to pay more too!)

This was a very fun card to make and nothing beats white on white!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,
