Itty Bitty Greetings, Ornate Frames, Ornate Borders, Get Well Card

Today's little gem came from Pinterest.  You can see the original card here.  That one was done using Soft Sea Foam card stock. I liked that look but I wanted something brighter and this is what I did.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Daffodil Delight card stock.  On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White that was die cut on the right side using the "Ornate Border" dies.  I moved the die in about 1/4" and then I ran it through the Big Shot. I taped that piece in place. I did add a little glue to the finer pieces that were standing up too much. I just put some white glue on my finger and rubbed it together with my thumb to thin it out and touched the pieces and then pressed them in place.

I saved the branch looking scrap from the die cutting to use as sprigs for the flowers to be put on.

The flowers were made by coloring some vellum using my light Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, and Flirty Flamingo Blends pens.  I didn't want to wait for it to dry so I heat it with my embossing tool to speed up the process.  I punched out two of each color because I wasn't sure which I was going to use until I was ready to assemble the card.

The words are from the "Itty Bitty Greetings" set. I used black Memento ink to stamp them and then I die cut them using the "Ornate Frames" dies.  

I set the springs in place using white glue, adding it like I did with the side die cut pieces.

Then I added a Dimensional to the flowers and set them in place on top of the spring pieces.  Three tiny pearls were added to the center of each flower.  I think that really makes the card look sweet. It adds a softness to the card.

The word piece was set in place using Dimensionals.  A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock was added to the inside of the card and the card was done.

I can see myself making this card again. It was quick, easy, and SO pretty.

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Here's a Card, July 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Birthday Card

While looking for ideas for my July 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit, I ran across this card. I thought looked fun and festive.  I want to use up all the materials in my kit before the next one comes in about a week.  UGH! So much to do and so little time.  I'd like to know where I spend most of my time. Oh, never mind, it's on Pinterest!!! LOL

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Night of Navy. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I took the pre-printed card from the kit and stamped the fireworks images on it. I used Blackberry Bliss ink that came with the kit. I also used Poppy Parade and Seaside Spray.

The label piece was in the kit and I stamped on it using the words from the "Here's a Card" set. I stamped them using Blackberry Bliss ink.  

I glued the stars from the kit in the center of each fireworks image.

I punched out the Ferris Wheel piece and set it on top of the card so I could see where the words should go. I then taped the words in place.

I added Dimensionals to the back of the piece and set it in place on the bottom of the card.

The kit also came with the enamel stars so I added a few of them to the card and the card was finished.

I REALLY like the kits and it's always nice when you can find other cards on the net that show other ways to use them instead of what is shown in the kit. I love that because not all of the kits appeal to me but I can usually find something else to do with them.

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Positive Thoughts, Sympathy Card, Friendship Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog

I found this fun little gem on Pinterest. It looked like it was just calling for me to make it.  I loved the colors and that's why I was drawn to it.  You can see the original card here.  

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Calypso Coral card stock.  The card stock was cut in half on the short side at 4-1/4".  This card was scored at 5-1/2" and folded. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I took a 1/4 sheet of Petal Pink card stock and I lined up the left edge border die from the "Ornate Borders" and taped it in place with some Washi tape.  I also taped the flowered edge piece from the same set. Then I ran it through the Big Shot and cut them out.  You need to be a little careful removing the floral edge, it sometimes doesn't want to separate easily, especially on the top.  I taped this piece to the left side of the card.

I took some of the Petal Pink card stock that was left over from cutting the flower piece and die cut the frame from the "Ornate Frames" dies. 

The words are from the "Positive Thoughts" set and I stamped them using Flirty Flamingo ink on Whisper White card stock. It should have been Calypso Coral but I grabbed the wrong one. It blended in well and you wouldn't have known if I wouldn't have said anything!! I die cut the words with the die from the same "Ornate Frames" die set.  I taped the word piece to the frame piece and then I set that in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals.

I added a few tiny pearls to the center of each flower. 

I also added a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock to the inside of the card and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I think it would be a pretty card using white on white for a wedding card.  I can see myself making this card again but in different colors.

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by,

Sending You Thoughts, Flowers for Every Season, Birthday Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog

I like using this layout. It's a bit tricky to do the white part but follow along and I will walk you through it.  You only need to make one and save the template, then it's no longer tricky.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock. My card was cut on the shorter (8-1/2") side at 4-1/4".  I folded the card at 5-1/2".  This card opens at the bottom and the fold is at the top.

I cut a piece of the "Flowers for Every Season" Designer Series paper (DSP) 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".  I taped it in place on top of the card base.

I took apiece of copier paper 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and I set it on top of the DSP at the angle you see on the finished card. I turned them both over at the same time, holding tightly so neither moves. I traced the outer edge of the card base.  I fussy cut the pencil lines.  For my Whisper White piece, I took the largest stitched rectangle from the "Rectangle Stitched" Framelets dies pack and I cut it out from a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock.  Then I lined it up with my template.  I took a pencil and lightly drew where I needed to cut it. I used the paper cutter to cut it so I had nice clean sharp and straight edges.  

The words were stamped next, the were from the "Sending You Thought" set. They were stamped using black Memento ink.

I took some Daffodil Delight ribbon that I had and cut a piece about 6" long.  I taped the ends on the backside.  To get the ribbon straight, I made tiny marks about 3/8" down from the top on both sides.  I lined up the edge of the ribbon and pressed the tape in place on the back. I had used snail tape on the ends of the ribbon.  Once the ribbon was in place, I used some Scotch tape to hold it in place. I added Dimensionals to the back and set the piece in place on the card front. With the ribbon still on the spool, I slid it under the taped ribbon and tied a knot. Then I cut the ribbon. You can save a lot of ribbon doing it this way.  Maybe that's why I have lots of retired ribbon!! LOL

I fussy cut three of the flowers from the DSP. There was a 1-3/4" strip left from cutting it to fit the front of the card. I used that piece for my flowers.  The leaves were from some other project. They were from the "Painted Labels" dies.  They were just sitting on my worktable trying to blend in with all the other clutter there.  I used glue dots to hold them in place. I also used glue dots on the two tulips and the yellow flower was set in place using a Dimensional.   

And there you have it. A bright and cheery birthday card.  I chose those flowers because they had not been used in my stack of paper yet. I thought they were too busy but when you get the right layout it all works out!  I like the looks of this card and it was easy to make too.

Hey!  Did you notice I was able to post without any delay today?  I think I've figured it all out now! *crosses fingers*

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Positive Thoughts, Friendship Birthday Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog

I was looking at Pinterest for something other than cards and I ran across this stunning card.  Well, it was stunning until I tried to remake it.  LOL  You can see the original card here.  

I didn't have some of the products to reproduce the original card so here is what I had and here is what I did.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Soft Suede. I was going to grab a piece of Crumb Cake card stock but somehow a piece of Soft Suede was in the pack so I decided I would use that instead.  It had a nice rich look to it. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I used the "Ornate Floral" embossing folder to texture the front of the card.

I die cut the third smallest "Rectangle Stitched" Framelit from Whisper White card stock.  I set the piece up in my Stamparatus to make sure I got nice clean images. 

I set the fern leaf image from the "Positive Thoughts" set in the Stamparatus and I stamped the image using Crumb Cake ink.  I cleaned the stamp and moved it over to the left and stamped the left leaf.

I stamped the flower from the "Positive Thoughts" set covering it in Mango Melody ink and then tapping the Calypso Coral stamp pad around the edges.  Then I used the matching die cut and cut out the flower.  

There was some cute tiny leaf clusters in the dies so I cut two of them out using Granny Apple Green card stock.  I wasn't sure if I was going to use them but I wanted to have them ready so I could see how good or how bad they'd look on the card.

The words are from the same "Positive Thoughts" set. I stamped them using black Memento ink.

I cut a 4-1/2" x 3-1/8" piece of Granny Apple Green card stock for the back layer. I had scrap for those cute tiny leaf clusters but if you don't have any scrap, die cut your leaf clusters from the center of this piece, no one will ever know it's not a solid piece. I taped the Whisper White piece to the Granny Apple Green piece and then I taped those to the front of the card.

I set the flower on top of the card to see where it was going to lay.  I slid the leaf clusters behind it and liked what I saw. Then I added some snail to the stitched piece so the stems of the leaf clusters had somewhere to stick to.

Then I added Dimensionals to the back of the flower piece and I set it in place on top of the leaf clusters. I also added some Wink of Stella to the flower. And I just wasn't done with the Wink of Stella. I just had to add some to the tips of the leaves on the little clusters. I recommend doing this before you tape them down.

I colored three tiny rhinestones using my dark Pumpkin Pie Blends pen. I set them in place on the front of the card to give it a little more color and bling.  I didn't have enough sparkle or shine like the original card had using the foil paper. I didn't have any foil paper so I omitted it and added sparkle and shine where I could.  I added a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White to the inside of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I REALLY like this set and I think I may make another card using it this week.

Thank you SO very much for taking the time to stop by,                                                                            Wanda 

Peaceful Moments, Band Together Detailed Bands, Thank You Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up Catalog

Today's card is a very fun, quick, and easy card.  I love this kind of layout. It's a great way to use up some craps of Designer Series Papers.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock.

I cut a piece of copier paper that was just a hair shy of 4" x 5-1/4".  Then I cut a Whisper White piece of card stock that measured 4" x 2-3/4".  Now this piece you can make larger or smaller depending on the size of the scrap of DSP you have.  I textured it using the "Ornate Floral" embossing folder. My DSP is from the "Flowers for Every Season" 6" x 6" paper stack measured 4" x 2-1/2".  I taped the DSP and the embossed piece to the copier paper. 

I die cut the pretty label from the "Detailed Bands" dies using Melon Mambo card stock.  It was the closest color I had that would blend well with the DSP.  

The words are from the "Peaceful Moments" set. I stamped them on Whisper White card stock using black Memento ink.  I die cut it with the second smallest oval die.  I set the words in place on the Melon Mambo band using Dimensionals. Then I set the band in place on top of the DSP and embossed card stock piece. I made sure the little points on the ends of the band lined up with the line where the DSP and card stock meet.  The band was longer than the card, so I trimmed the ends.  This is why I needed to have something on the back of the DSP and embossed card stock.  It would have been difficult to hold the pieces together while trimming those sides. Then I taped this piece to the front of the card and the card was done.

And that's it.  Quick and simple.  Easy Peasy!!  This layout works so well with all DSP. Be creative with your word piece. You can use round, square, hexagon, etc. They will all look great. I could have made this a get well card, it's SO bright and cheery.

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Gorgeous Posies, Birthday Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog

Today I thought I would try the same layout as yesterday but with larger flowers. I used the "Gorgeous Posies" set to make my card.  I think I like the smaller flowers better.  And you know that old saying, "three's a charm"?  Well, it took me three times to make this card.  The first time the open strip in the middle was too wide and it didn't look like there were enough flowers on it.  Then the second time I messed up the bottom flower because I forgot to put the mask over it and I stamped the leaves right on top.  And the third time I paid better attention.  

So, here it is.  The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Highland Heather and taped it to the card base.  Then I cut a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White and that was used for my focal piece.

I cut a 3/4" x 5-1/2" piece of copier paper to cover the word area. If you have some scrap vellum, that would work better. You'd be able to see the words better.  The first two I ruined, I stamped the words first and the last one I stamped them last. It doesn't matter what order you do them in.  I stamped mine using black Memento ink and the words are from the "Gorgeous Posies" set.

I stamped the flowers using Highland Heather ink.  I stamped two on top and one on the bottom.  I had it the opposite on my first card and it didn't look very balanced.  I masked the flowers and then stamped the leaves.  I left the masks on while I stamped the darker veins in the leaves.  But they really aren't darker, it's the same Granny Apple Green ink.  I also stamped the flower centers with the dots stamp using Smoky Slate ink.  And the stamping was done. I removed the strip and taped the Whisper White piece to the Highland Heather piece.

After looking at the photo of the card I thought it looked kind of blah.  I forgot to add some bling to it.  So after I'm done posting this, I will be adding some rhinestones like I did on yesterday's card.  And I may add some faceted gems to the center of each flower, they really need something.  I think this card is SO much better with smaller flowers or maybe it's just he way I made this card!!!  

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Framed For You, Gorgeous Posies, Thank You Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog

Today's card was found on the internet.  You can see the original card here.  I believe this link will open in a new window.  I'm still working on learning this new Blogger layout.  I'm getting there. It just takes me time because I'm old and not so good at computer stuff.

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

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

The Whisper White focal piece is cut 3-3/4" x 5".  I centered the words from the "Gorgeous Posies" set.  I set this up in my Staparatus because I needed to be sure to get it straight and stamped dark enough.  I stamped on a practice piece and I actually got it straight the first time.   I stamped the words using black Memento ink.  Then I cut a 3/4" x 5-1/2" strip of copier paper and covered the words. I centered that strip of copier paper.  I used removable tape to hold it in place.  I also tape the ends of the copier paper down on my stamping surface, I didn't want it to move while I stamped. Just in case I stared to stamp wild!  LOL

I took the daisy flower from the "Framed for You" set and stamped it on the front of the card using Melon Mambo ink.  I think my stamp pad could use some more ink but it's colorful enough so it will pass.

Then I stamped the greens using Granny Apple green ink. This was the part I found the most difficult. I wasn't sure if I was getting enough leaves showing or if I was leaving too much space between the Melon Mambo flowers.  But it's a handmade card, so I just continued.  

The smaller flower was stamped using Daffodil Delight ink.  It filled in the open areas nicely.  I taped the focal piece to the front of the card and then added a few rhinestones. I had some left from the "Noble Peacock" rhinestone pack.  And the card was done.  

This was a very quick and easy card to make.  I would like to try this method using larger flowers.  Maybe from the "Gorgeous Posies" set, it's got a really nice size flower.

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Framed for You, Here's a Card, Thank You Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog

My third day of trying to get my posts to look like "normal" using the new Blogger updated program.  Thank you for being patient with me as I muddle through this.  I can deal with subtle changes but not large ones and many all at once!  So here's my card for today.

My card was made using the new "Framed for You" stamp set.  My set is VERY special.  The lady that designed the set is the demonstrator Terri Gaines and I am SO fortunate enough to know her. She was able to design the set because she reached $1,000,000 in sales. It's one of the bonuses you get when your sales reach the million mark.  So my set is special because she autographed it.  But I had to make the card, so here it is.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock.  I cut the card in half on the 8-1/2" side.  Then scored the piece on the long side at 5-1/2". I always have to stop and think about the scoring because it's not how I usually make a card.  My card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x -1/4" piece of Smoky Slate card stock to use for the layer.  And the top Whisper White piece was cut 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".  

First I stamped the cute little flower from the "Framed for You" set using Daffodil Delight ink.  I fussy cut it out.  Then I set it on top of the Whisper White piece to see where center would be and where I needed the greens to stem from.  I made a light pencil dot so I knew where center basically was.

I stamped the greens using the Granny Apple Green ink.

I stamped six flowers using Highland Heather ink.  I fussy cut each one out.  And yes, I was in a good mood, that's why there was so much fussy cutting.  Plus this set didn't have a matching dies.  But the frame can be die cut using the square dies, so it kind of does.  Anyway, after fussy cutting the flowers I added a Dimensional to the back of each little flower and the back of the daisy.  I set them on top of the card but didn't affix them. I was using them to see where the words were going to go.

The words are from the "Here's a Card" set and I stamped them using Smoky Slate ink.  

I took some retired ribbon and made a bow.

The flowers were set in place on the card and then the bow was added using a glue dot.

I colored 6 small pearls using the dark Blends Pen and I set them in place on the Highland Heather flowers.  I set a plain one on the daisy.  And the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I do like how it turned out.  To mail it, I will place a piece of the shirt board (from 12" x 12" card stock or from a cereal box if I don't have any shirt board) on top of the card so it's smooth and will go though the post office machines easily.  

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Good Morning Magnolia, Thinking of You Card

I'm going to do my typing before I add the photo and see what I get today.  Apparently there are still some bugs that Blogger needs to work out for his to run smoothly.  I read that by adding some code you can get the words to wrap around the photo.  Okay. I will deal with code later. I'm not all that familiar with code and where it insert it.  I know the code, just not were it needs to go.  Wake up, that stuff is boring!! LOL

My card today is from the "Good Morning Magnolia" set.  It's such a fun and versatile set.  I have played with it some but not as much as I would have liked to.

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

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock was cut for the focal piece.

I also cut another one from some retired card stock to make a template.  The circle is 2-1/8" and I tried to center it as much as possible on the retired card stock piece.  I die cut it out and used a post it note to hold it to the Whisper White piece.

I sponged on some Daffodil Delight ink and then some Crushed Curry ink.  Now I had forgotten that when you are sponging, the area will be much darker than you think. It was, but it's okay I still like it, it makes the flower pop.

The flower is from the "Good Morning Magnolia" set. I stamped it using black Memento ink. Then I colored it in using both light and dark Petal Pink Blends pens.  The greens were colored in using both light and dark Granny Apple Green Blends pens.  Then I die cut the piece. I used to die cut it after stamping it but I'd end up ruining it in the coloring and have to do it all again, so I just color first and then cut it out if it's good.  I find I don't make as many mistakes if I color first and then cut.  It must be something psychological!  LOL  

The words are from the "Good Morning Magnolia" set too. I stamped them using black Memento ink.

I set the Whisper White piece in place with Dimensionals and then I set the flower in place with Dimensionals and the card was done.

It's a very quick and easy card to make and it's versatile. This can be used for a birthday, get well, thinking of you, and even Mother's Day!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to visit today,
Wanda

Shhhh.  I got it to look like it should. I don't know what happened but I'm not touching it.  Shutting it down and walking away!!! LOL

Under My Umbrella, Friendship Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog

I'm trying my hardest to work with this new layout for posting a card. UGH. I do NOT like change.  And right now with all that is going on in the world, I don't need anything new to try to deal with. But here I am muddling through this and hopefully it will work. I normally put my photo on here first and then type the words.  I added the photo and then started typing the words but they were blue with a line underneath that looked like it was a hyper link.  So I removed the photo and I'll do my words first and see where the photo lands when I'm done.  I'm crossing my fingers (which makes it kind of hard to type! LOL)

I found this card here on Pinterest but the link didn't take me anywhere, so I had to guess at colors and sizes.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock.  I ran the front of the card through the Big Shot using the brick wall embossing folder. I'm not sure if that's the name of the folder. I left my catalog upstairs and I'm not going up to get it.  When I go upstairs I'm grabbing my purse had heading to McDonald's to get a coke because I have a shot of (earned) rum waiting for me!!! LOL

I cut a piece of some retired Poppy Parade Designer Series Paper (DSP) that was from the 6" x 6" color collection paper packs.  There's different designs in the new packs for 2020-2021.    I cut this piece 4-1/4" x 1-1/2".  I taped it to the bottom of the front of the card.  

Then I die cut the two Basic Black strips using the "Ornate Borders" dies.  I set them aside.  I also punched out the umbrella handle.  I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock that measured 4-1/4" x 1-1/2" and I stamped the flowers from the "Under My Umbrella" set using black Memento ink.  I colored them using both light and dark Poppy Parade, Pool Party, and Bermuda Bay Blends Pens. I used the dark Daffodil Delight Blends pen for the flower centers. I added tape to the back of this piece on the edges and set the black die cut strips in place on the top and bottom. I trimmed the side edges.  I taped this strip in place on the front of the card using snail tape. I placed it on the front of the card 1-3/8" up from the bottom edge of the card.  

I stamped the boots, more flowers, one large and one small, and the umbrella.  I colored them in using the same Blends pens.  For the umbrella and the boots I added some black dots using a fine point Sharpie marker.  I did this after the pieces sat for a bit to allow the alcohol to evaporate. If you do it too soon the black dots will bleed.  

I die cut the second largest stitched circle and stamped the words from the "Under My Umbrella" set using black Memento ink.  I set the umbrella piece on the circle using Dimensionals.  Then I slipped the handle under the Dimensional before I pressed it in place.  I added the small flower to the top with a dot of white glue and the flower on the circle was set in place with a Dimensional. The entire circle was set in place using Dimensionals.

The boots were added using Dimensionals.

I tied a black bow and set that in place under the boots area using a glue dot.

I had some Pool Party epoxy dots and I stuck them in place on the bottom right side.

This was a fun card to make. A little fussy cutting.  More if you don't have the umbrella punch.  I have played with this set a lot and still find it a fun one to have. It's great for several occasions too!

I added the photo and it landed at the bottom. I tried to get it up at the top right where I usually place my photos but the program just wouldn't let me. I'm hoping it's just a bug in their software.  But I'm sure I will get it all figured out just in time for them to change things again. UGH!!!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Good Morning Magnolia, Painted Labels, Thinking of You Card

I sure have made use of the five 2-1/2" x 4" card stock samples of the 2020-2022 in colors.  I have a half  a piece of the Cinnamon Cider color left.  I have never used those little card stock samples before and I've received many of them over the years.

Today's card was a fun one to make. It's quick and simple too.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Crushed Curry.  I didn't have the new Bumblebee color (yet).  The piece was folded in half. The card opens at the bottom and the fold is at the top.  

I cut a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of the "Flowers for Every Season" 6" x 6" card stock pack.  I was looking at this piece and thinking how busy it was.  But used on a card this way took some of the business out of it.  When I cut the piece, I cut the 5-1/4" piece first and was left with the 3/4" strip that I turned over and used on the center of the card. I taped that strip in place and trimmed the end.

The "Painted Labels" die was used to make the swirly image. I die cut using Crushed Curry card stock. 

The words are from the "Good Morning Magnolia" and were stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock using black Memento ink.  I set the words in place using Dimensionals and then the entire piece was just taped on top of the front of the card.

I punched out two medium daisies from Whisper White card stock. They were glued together in the center. I took a retired faceted gem and stuck it to the center of the flower. I'm determined to use these up!!!  The flower was then set in place with a Dimensional.

A "Polka Dot Tulle" bow was tied and set in place with a glue dot. And for the final touch, a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White was added to the inside.  

I was thrilled at the look.  It's not busy, it's  bright and cheery.  

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

Gorgeous Posies, Painted Labels, Get Well Card, 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog

The card I found today is a super easy one and there's a video!  You can see it here. It's easy to play along but if you just look at the card, you really don't need the video.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Highland Heather card stock.  The card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

The original card uses the new Misty Moonlight card stock and ink.  I didn't have any card stock and all I have is a Stampin' Spot for my ink. It came in my May 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit.  So I did use the ink and for the card stock I used Night of Navy. I believe I just snuck by doing that. I have on my wish list a variety pack of the in colors. 

I cut the Night of Navy piece 4" x 5-1/4" and then I die cut the spiral piece from the "Painted Labels" dies.  I cut it from the center of the 4" x 5-1/4" piece.  No one will ever see that piece has a hole in the middle.  Many times when I need to die cut something I will take a 1/4 sheet of card stock and die cut it in the middle and put it back in with the rest of the pack of card stock.  It's not scrap, it will eventually be used and hidden!  I have a lot less scrap doing this.

The Whisper White piece here was cut 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" because I used Night of Navy and I didn't want a lot of it showing so it would blend with the Misty Moonlight ink. I know, I could have used Night of Navy ink but I liked how the Highland Heather and Misty Moonlight ink paired.  I stamped the flowers from the "Gorgeous Posies" set using Highland Heather ink. Some I stamped off once to give it some depth.  When stamping the flower centers I stamped off once there too.  That piece was taped to the Night of Navy piece and a piece of Polka Dot Tulle ribbon was taped to the backside before it was all taped to the card base.

The words are from the "Gorgeous Posies" set and they were stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White using Highland Heather ink.  They were die cut using the third smallest circle die and the Highland Heather scalloped circle was die cut using the third smallest scalloped circle.  These two were taped together and set on top of the swirl piece using Dimensionals.  

The swirl piece was set in place using snail tape.  Then a bow was tied using the "Polka Dot Tulle" ribbon. It was set in place using glue dots.

The inside of the card is a piece of Whisper White that was stamped with a few flowers like they did in the video. I usually don't stamp on the inside of cards but this was quick, easy, and pretty.  And that was it.  

This was a very quick and easy card to make and very pretty too. I liked this set the minute I saw it and I plan on using it a bit more in the near future.  It can be used for birthdays, thinking of you, and Mother's Day too!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop by today,

I can not believe it's the first of August!  This year is flying by. I spent my day with the granddaughters and I'm exhausted.  Plus I sewed them each a new mask.  The 7 year old wanted a celestial one and the 5 year old wanted an Elsa (from Frozen) one.  Children's masks are pretty quick to whip up and I only made them one each.  But it was still exhausted.  We had a late dinner and I decided that today I was not going to post a So I'm going to take a day off.

But I am going to share with you something I had been working on in between all the other projects I have going on.  I got this at an estate sale.  I cleaned it up and removed all the old rhinestones and replaced them with Swarovski crystals.  I'm still trying to figure out what it is. Is it for your hair or for a scarf around your neck?  Once I figure out what it is I think I will be putting it in my web store.  Anyway, this is what I have for you today. Come back tomorrow for a card.  I'm on a short break!

Thank you for understanding and stopping by,
Wanda
