SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE "DEAR FRIEND"

  2. Adhere the Pool Party layer (4 1/8” x x 5 3/8”) to the card front.
  3. For the next layer (4” x 5 1/8”) create your own “designer paper” by stamping the leaves randomly in Pool Party ink. Stamp your sentiment in the lower right corner then adhere to your card front. (Optional: while doing this , do the same to the flap of your envelope so that it will coordinate.)
  4. Run the pool Party (3 1/2” square) and Misty Moonlight (4” square) pieces of cardstock through the embossing machine with the corresponding dies. Adhere them together and then trim off a bit to have a straight edge that you will then align to the left edge of the top layer of your card front and adhere.
  5. Choose a sentiment for the inside of your card and stamp it on the (4” x 5 1/4) white piece of cardstock and adhere it to the inside.
  6. Take your last piece (3” x 4 1/4”)of white cardstock and stamp the flowers.  Color them in with the Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut them out to adhere to your card front as shown.
  7. Using your Stamping Blends color the ribbon and then tie a bow and attach it to your card front.  Add gems to embellish.

Simple Thank You

This was a card that we did as a Mystery Card with my team and I enjoyed it that I chose to make it in my class this month. So easy and versatile.  I made a welcome baby card with the idea also just turned it landscape orientation. You can use any Designer Series Paper and any color cardstock.  

SIMPLE THANK YOU

  4. Stamp the sentiment On the white (1 3/4”) square of cardstock **line the sentiment so that it is centered with the square as a diamond. Adhere this to the other 2” square of pink cardstock. Align this so it will be between the two other “diamonds” and adhere with dimensionals.  
  5. Tie a bow with your ribbon and attach to your card .( I prefer using glue dots but if you do not have them just use liquid glue.)
  6. Stamp a sentient and design on the inside of your card.
  7. Adhere the strip of DSP to the flap of your envelope so that it coordinates with your card and trim it out. **I always recommend using liquid glue when adhering anything t your envelope so that it won’t accidentally be pulled of going through the mail.Get glue ALL the way to the edges.)
