It’s a Beautiful Day

Today I’m featuring the second of four cards we made in my class last week using   the Tropical Escape and Petal Promenade designer series papers.  This card uses one of the beautiful Petal Promenade papers.  I also used the floral die from the  Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies, which is part of the Garden Impressions Suite.

I cut a piece of Grapefruit Grove cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″  for the card base.  Next I cut a piece of the designer paper at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.  I die cut the floral image using a piece of Petal Pink cardstock and attached it to the designer paper using the fine-tip glue pen.  I then attached this to the card base.  Next I stamped the beautiful day greeting from the Love What You Do stamp set with Grapefruit Grove ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I also stamped one of the small floral images from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set  next to the greeting.

I cut the greeting using one of the circles from the Layering Circles Framelits and then cut a larger circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits with a piece of the Grapefruit Grove cardstock and attached them together and then attached it to the card.  I added a small Grapefruit Grove faceted dot to the small flower for a little touch of bling.  I cut a 1/2″ x 4″ strip of designer paper and attached it to the bottom of a 4″x 5 1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock for the inside of the card.

Share What You Love: One Layout, Two Different Versions

Today I’m sharing two cards that use products from the limited-time Share What You Love Product Suite bundles.  Stampin’ Up! has made three different bundles available to you in an early product release that runs through May 31.   Beginning on June 1 with the release of the new 2018-2019 annual catalog these bundles will no longer be available but you will be able to order any of the products individually.  Learn more about the promotion from Brandi Bernard in this video.

 

The layout I used on these two cards has been one of my “go to” layouts for years.  It is a great way to showcase many of Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful designer series papers as well as some of their larger image stamps.

This first card is done in a landscape version of the layout.

Supplies used: Love What You Do Stamp Set; Grapefruit Grove Cardstsock; Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper; Pear Pizzazz, Tranquil Tide Classic Stampin’ Pads; Tranquil Tide, pearlized thread from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.

 

The second card is done in a portrait version of the layout and in this version, a pearlized doily from this product suite is used as a base for the sentiment instead of a piece of cardstock.  I added a 1″ strip of designer series paper to the inside card liner in both cards to give them a nice finishing touch.

Supplies used: Love What You Do Stamp Set; Old Olive Cardstsock; Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper; Old Olive, Tranquil Tide Classic Stampin’ Pads; Tranquil Tide, Pearlized Doilies.
