Just Wanted To Say Happy Birthday!!

 Just Wanted To Say "Happy Birthday"!!!


Happy Birthday to my daughter Amy!! Have a great day!!

I have used the soon to be released Art Gallery Bundle to create Amys birthday card!



Available Jan. 5th, 2021 in the January to June Mini Catalogue 

Isn't that "just want to say" die cut out amazing!!! There are nine different options to add with the "just wanted to say":

I'm thinking of you, Congratulations, Happy Birthday, You Are Lovely, Best Wishes, good luck!, I Miss You, Sorry and thank you.

Or use a different stamp set to come up with your own!

I started with a So Saffron Card Base measuring 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". I then stamped the floral image onto the card front a few times using So Saffron Ink. Die cut "just wanted to say" from a Whisper White panel measuring 4" x 3". Using Dimensionals, pop up this panel onto a 3 1/2" x 2 7/8"  piece of Gold Foil C/S. Attach to a 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of basic Black C/S. Attach to card front using Dimensionals. Stamp Happy Birthday onto a scrap of Whisper White C/S using Memento Black Ink. Die cut it out. Add 2 Gold Metallic Pearls to the sentiment strip. Use Dimensionals to attach the sentiment the card front.


Happy Stamping and Creating!!

Stay safe everyone!

Art Gallery

 Art Gallery Sneak Peek

I decided to use a NEW product that will be available starting January 5, 2021!! 

I only used the Art Gallery Stamp Set for this card. I also decided to use it for this weeks challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.


It is a beautiful bundle with so many possibilities! One of the Dies cuts out "just wanted to say". Then you can add a stamped image to finish the sentiment. I will post a card tomorrow showcasing that technique.

So here is my card. Very simple and easy to create!



I started with a Rich Razzleberry card base, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Wrap some Whisper White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon around the card base and tie into a bow on the left hand side.

On a piece of 3" x 4" Whisper White C/S stamp the flower from Art Gallery 3X using Rich Razzleberry Ink. I started in the middle then added 1 on each side of the entered flower. 

Cut the stamped panel into 4 equal pieces measuring 1" x 3". Keep your pieces in order. Attach these strips to a 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" piece of  Basic Black C/S using Multi-purpose Liquid Glue. Leave an even border all around and in-between the strips. 

Emboss the panel using the Tasteful textiles Embossing Folder. Attach to card base using Dimensionals. 

Add 3 Rhinestones to the bottom right hand side of the card. 
I hope you liked todays card! Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

Happy Stamping and Creating!!

Happiest Of Birthdays

 Happiest Of Birthdays


I'm having so much fun playing with the Quite Curvy Bundle!! This was one of our Card Club By Mail December projects. 



Isn't that Peony Garden Designer Series Paper Gorgeous!!! The grey tones and the Petal Pink Card Stock go so beautifully together! This card was very simple to create. The base is Whisper White Thick C/S with a layer of Petal Pink C/S. Then attach a 5" x 2 3/4" piece of the DSP to the bottom. Using a 5" x 3" piece of Whisper White C/S, die cut the top portion using the Curvy Dies. Stamp sentiment using Basic Grey Ink. Attach this panel to the card front using Dimensionals. Punch out a small and large butterfly using the Butterfly Duet Punch and the Peony Garden DSP. One side of the DSP is the small butterfly and the large butterfly is the reverse side. Attach to card using Dimensionals. Add a Rhinestone to the center. Wrap some Grey Granite Ribbon around the card and tie into a knot. That's it,  simple, but so pretty!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Stay safe,

Arlene
