DAD, THANKS FOR BEING THE BEST

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Run three (2” x 3 1/2”) pieces of DSP through the Die machine with the corresponding die.
Line the three pieces up on the (3 1/2” x 5 1/2”) strip of beige cardstock leaving a sliver of space between each.
Wrap the ribbon around the length of the beige piece you just worked with, adhering the ribbon in the back. (I added a strip of Tear & Tape to keep the ribbon from sliding around but you can use Stampin’ Seal® or even liquid glue (this could get messy).
On the small piece of beige cardstock, stamp sentiment then run through the die machine with the corresponding die.
Run the Pecan cardstock through the machine with the letters D-A-D.
Adhere the sentiment on the card front over the ribbon with Dimensionals® and then just to the left of the sentiment, adhere the letters.
Embellish with some gems.
Adhere a strip of coordinating DSP on the envelope flap and trim down.
There you have it!

Belated Birthday Card

This is a quick and super easy card to make! Make it with any color card stock and coordinating Designer Series Paper or for that matter if you don't have DSP, use different colors of card stock, or card stock that you have stamped to create your own personal DSP. No die cut machine needed just card stock, adhesives and a stamp with the sentiment of choice. :0)

BELATED BIRTHDAY CARD

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Stamp sentiment on the (1 3/4” x 3”) piece of white cardstock. Adhere it to the (3 1/8” x 1 7/8”) piece of navy cardstock. Set aside.
Adhere one of the (4” x 5 1/4”) pieces of white cardstock to your card front.
Adhere the thinner strip (1” x 5 1/4”) of DSP horizontally across the bottom, about half an inch form the bottom.
Adhere the other piece of DSP” (1 1/2” x 4”) vertically on the cad front about half an inch from the left edge of the white cardstock.
Stamp the inside sentiment on the other (4” x 5 1/4”) piece of white cardstock. Adhere it to the inside of your card.
Using dimensionals, adhere the sentiment piece you made in step 1.

Sometimes the Simplest Things. . .

So this month I featured stamps that are all being retired. If you like them you had better go check out the "LAST CHANCE" section on my website to shop for them before they are gone. The Seaside Wishes Bundle is one I am NOT willing to part with. I absolutely love it!

SOMETIMES THE SIMPLEST THINGS. . .

Cased Cards’ Stuff with Gail

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Take your (4” x 5 1/4”) piece of white cardstock and run it through the emboss machine in the Seaside Wishes Embossing folder. Adhere it to the card front.
Adhere the (1” x 5 1/4”) piece of DSP vertically on the left side of the front. Run the (2 3/8” x 3 3/8”) piece of white cardstock through the emboss machine in the Seaside Wishes Embossing folder. Adhere it to the (2 1/2” x 3 1/2”) piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Adhere this centered to the front of your card.
On thermal piece of white crd stock, stamp the sentiment and die cut it out. Adhere to the top right of your card using dimensionals®.
Run the leftover piece of white and the piece of Crumb Cake cardstock throughout the die cut machine using both the die and embossing folder at the same time to get your textured sand dollars. Set aside. Rung the additional piece of moonlight cardstock through the die machine with the two different sizes o coral (?).
Using scraps dies cut some reeds.
Stamp a small starfish and die cut.
Assemble all of your pieces to create your scene. (I used dimensionals® t adhere the foremost sand dollar.
Stamp sentiment on the inside.
Adhere the additional piece of DSP to your envelope flap so that your envelope will coordinate.

AGING FINE LIKE CHEESE & WINE

I didn't include the colors of the stampin' blends used allowing for your own creative artistry to come through. Also, the ribbon used was retired a while back. Use any ribbon you have on hand.

AGING FINE LIKE CHEESE & WINE

CREATED BY LAURYN WATSON

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Adhere the (4” x 5 1/4”) piece of DSP to your card front.
Run the (3 1/2” x 5”) piece of white cardstock through the die cut machine to get the border.
Stamp image and sentiment. Use the Stampin’ Blends® to color in your image.
Wrap the wider piece of ribbon around the cardstock between the image and the sentiment, adhering on the back.
Tie the thin strip of ribbon around the thicker piece tying in a simple knot.
Adhere this to your card front using dimensionals.
Stamp the inside sentiment on the (4” x 5 1/4”) piece of white cardstock and adhere to the inside of your card.
(Optional) I brought the Basic Border Die out of retirement to die cut the envelope flap.
