Band Together Magnolia Bloom

It's hard to see how much sparkle is in this beautiful ornate frame!! I used the Band Together Bundle to create this card. The base is Whisper White with a layer of Mossy Meadow and then the beautiful Magnolia Lane Designer Series paper. The frame is die cut with Sparkle Glimmer Paper. The die set cuts out little tabs but I chose to cut them off. I finished the card off with a sentiment from the set on a Whisper White Oval, also included in the Band Together Bundle. This was a quick card to put together but so elegant!!

Supplies Used:
Card Stock: Whisper White and Mossy Meadow
Stamps: Band Together
Ink: Memento Black
Accessories: Detailed Band Dies, Magnolia Lane DSP and Sparkle Glimmer Paper

Pretty Peacock Merry Christmas 

I love how elegant this card is!

I used Pretty Peacock Card Stock and the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. Gorgeous DSP!!!

The card base is Basic Black. Emboss the Pretty Peacock layer with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder (it's retiring! No!!), add a strip of the DSP to the bottom of the layer. Wrap some Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon around this layer then attach to the card base. Stamp the Merry Christmas from the Christmastime Is Here Suite in VersaMark, emboss with Gold Embossing Powder. Cut it out with the Die from Christmastime Is Here. Stamp the Holly in Memento Black 2X using the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set. Using Old Olive Blends, colour the Holly. I used a Copper metallic Sharpie to colour in the berries. Fussy cut it out and bling them up with Wink Of Stella! Add the sentiment and Holly to the card using Dimensionals.

Birthday Wishes

I love the elegance of this card!! Poppy Parade, Gold Foil and Basic Black Card Stock together are just stunning!!!

Check out the matching envelope! I used the large rose stamp from the Christmastime Is Here Bundle. Stamping on your envelope just takes your homemade cards to another level!

I used the Heirloom Frames and matching 3D Embossing Folders. That's another reason I love Stampin' Up! so much, everything coordinates!!! The card base is Basic Black with a Poppy Parade layer embossed with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder. The frame is Gold Foil die cut, then embossed with the matching folder. I added a piece of the Christmas Rose Designer Series paper behind the frame. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays and it's gold embossed. It is finished off with Gold Shimmer Ribbon and some Gold Glitter Dots. 

Supplies Used:

Card Stock: Poppy Parade, Basic Black, Whisper White and Gold Foil
Ink: VersaMark
Stamps: Itty Bitty Birthdays and Christmastime Is Here (Envelope)
