CELEBRATE WITH PERENIAL LAVENDAR
Today’s card features the Perennial Lavender stamp set and Designer Series Paper along with the Wanted to Say Dies. I love how all these different products coordinate and work so well together.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Pretty Peacock cardstock
cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”. I
then cut a layer of Gorgeous Grape cardstock that measured 3 ¾ x 5”, to this I
added three strips of the Perennial Lavender DSP that measured 1 1/8 x 4”. I attached these with an equal border at each
side and the top. I wrapped a piece of ribbon
around the bottom of this layer and tied a square knot (this ribbon is retired
but there are lots of options that would work).
I attached this layer to the card base.
Then I die cut the shadow of the word “Celebrate”
from the Wanted to Say Dies out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and the work “Celebrate”
from the dies out of a piece of Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper (I used the Pretty
Peacock paper). I attached those two
together and used Mini Dimensionals to pop them up on the card front. I added one of the cute Paper Butterfly
Accents and three of the Glossy Dot Assortment dots to the front.
For the inside I cut a piece of Basic
White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped one of the cute stems of leaves from
the Painted Lavender Stamp Set on the bottom right corner (I used that same
stamp to stamp it on the envelope) using Pretty Peacock Ink.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
enjoyed making it. As always you can

MAGNOLIA MOOD JUST A NOTE
Today’s card features the Magnolia
Mood Bundle which is a new online exclusive.
I knew the minute I saw this bundle I wanted it. I could just imagine all kinds of things I
could do with it and it has not disappointed.
Here is one of the
cards I came up with…
The card base is Moody Mauve cardstock cut
to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½ “. I cut two
pieces of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼”, the first I used on the front of
the card and the second on the inside of the card. For the front I stamped my sentiment “just a
note to let you know that you are loved” from the stamps in the Magnolia Mood
Bundle on the upper right corner using Pebbled Path ink. I then grabbed a scrap piece of Basic White
cardstock and stamped the large Magnolia image (also from the stamp set) onto
it using the Pebbled Path ink. I die cut
it with the coordinating die from the bundle and colored it using the light
markers from the Parakeet Party, Petal Pink and Wild Wheat Stampin’
Blends. Before attaching this to the basic
white card layer I wrapped a piece of the Moody Mauve Textured Ribbon around it
about 1 ½” front the bottom and attached the ends to the back of the layer. I attached the layer to the card base and
then attached the die cut to it using Dimensionals.
For some additional interest I die cut two
of the leaf sets from the coordinating dies out of scraps of Parakeet Party
cardstock and tucked them up under the magnolia image again using Dimensionals. For my final addition I added three of the Parakeet
Party colored gems from the Tinsel Gem 4 pack.
For the inside of the card I simply
stamped the large image part on and part off the Basic White cardstock and
colored it with the same blends I used on the front of the card.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
enjoyed making it. As always you can

LATTE LOVE FUN FOLD
Today’s card features some new online
products from the Latte Love Suite Collection.
When I first saw this collection I was drawn to it but unsure. So as I often do I waited a few weeks to think
about how I would use it before I ordered it.
Sure glad I decided to order it because I have been having some fun with
it for sure.
I saw a card by Peggy Murwin on Pintrest
and I suddenly knew it was perfect for this set, hHere
is what I came up with…
There are actually two card bases to this fun fold and they are cut from Pecan Pie cardstock 4 ¼ x 8” and scored at 5 ½” x 8 ½” and 3 x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”. I cut a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8” and stamped the coffee stains from the Latte Love Bundle all over it using Early Espresso Ink. I then mounted this onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and attached that to the inside of my first card base. With that done I could move onto card base number 2.
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to
2 ¾ x 4” and stamped one of the coffee stains on the bottom left corner and
adhered it inside card base 2. I then
centered that card base onto the first one and attached it. To finish off card base 1, I cut a piece of
Early Espresso cardstock to 2 ¼ x 4” and attached a piece of the A Little Latte
12 x 12” Designer Series Paper (the one with the little string of hearts) that
measured 2 1/8 x 3 7/8 to it. I then
attached this to the front right of card base 1.
Now to finish off the front of card base
2. I cut a piece of Early Espresso cardstock
to 2 ¾ x 4” and to that I attached a piece of the A Little Latte 12 x 12”
Designer Series Paper (this time the blue and white stripes) that measured 2 5/8
x 3 7/8” and then attached that to the front of card base 2. I then die cut out two of the coffee cups
from the Designer Series Paper using the dies from the Latte Love Bundle and
attached one directly to the front and popped the second one up with some Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment “you’re the best part
of my day” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Early Espresso Ink and
the die cut it out using one of the Nested Essentials Dies and popped it up on
the front with Dimensionals. My final
addition was three of the Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
enjoyed making it. As always you can

THOUGHTFUL EXPRESSIONS FUN FOLD
Today’s card features the Thoughtful Expressions
bundle and the Forever Love Designer Series Paper. I really liked the colors in the Designer Series
Paper and thought the two pieces I used were perfect for this fun fold.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Lost Lagoon cardstock cut
to 7 x 5 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”. The Designer Series paper is cut to 2 ½ x 5 ½”
(centered on left side) and 1 ¼ x 5 ½”, three is also a strip of Gold Foil that
measures 3/8” x 5 ½” (this is attached to the right side of the 1 ¼ x 5 ½” piece
of Designer Series Paper (then that whole piece is attached butted right up to
the right side of the card base. There
is a piece of Basic White cardstock that measures 2 ½ x 5 ½” that is for the
inside of the card.
I stamped one of the little flowers from
the stamp set in the bundle onto the inside using Pretty Peacock Ink. To finish the front of my card I stamped my
sentiment from the bundle onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and die cut it
using the 4th from the largest of the dies in the bundle. I then die cut a scrap of Pretty Peacock with
the 3rd from the largest of the dies from the bundle. I die cut two of the little leaves from the
dies in the bundle out of scraps of Gold Foil as well. I adhered my white die cut to my pretty peacock
die cut and then used Dimensionals and adhered just the left side to my card so
that I could open the fun fold. I tucked
the two little gold foil leaves up under the sentiment and adhered them. That’s all there is to this card it really is
simple and uses minimal supplies.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
enjoyed making it. As always you can

LAYERED FLORALS MEETS WHITE INK
Today’s card features a new 3D Embossing Folder named Layered Florals. The depth of the embossing on this folder is really special and I wanted to do something to highlight that. So I went to work using different techniques and this is what I came up with…
The card base is Starry Sky cardstock cut
to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”. I then
cut a piece of Gold Foil to 4 x 5 ¼” and before doing anything else with it I
cut the second to the smallest of the labels from the Thoughtful Expressions
Dies out to use later. Once that was cut
out I embossed the gold layer with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and
added it to my card base. I cut a piece
of Starry Sky cardstock to 3 ¾ x 5” and embossed it with the Layered Florals 3D
Embossing Folder.
Once it was embossed, I simply used a
Sponge Dauber and gently added White Craft Ink to the raised areas to make them
really pop. Remember go light because
you can add more but you can’t take it away once it is there. I stamped my sentiment “Hope You’re Feeling
Better Soon” from the So Sincere Stamp Set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock
using VersaMark Ink and added Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it. I cut this out using the smallest of those
labels from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies and attached it to the larger one I
had cut from the gold. I twisted a
little of the Simply Elegant Trim around the back of the sentiment allowing it
to stick out on both sides and then attached this whole thing to my card using
Dimensionals. The final addition was
three of the gold sequins from the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins.
For the inside I took a piece of Basic
White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed just about the bottom 1” of
it using that Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder. Once it was embossed, I flipped it over and
lined up the edge with my cutter and used the score blade to add a nice little
line to separate the areas, I love how it looks. I also embossed the flap on the envelope to
give the whole card a coordinating look.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
enjoyed making it. As always you can
