The Best Is Yet To Come!

 The Best Is Yet To Come!

This is another card I taught at the beginners card class. It's always so impressive to see the magic of heat embossing!


Directions:

Cut a piece of Thick Basic White Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

Cut a piece of Fresh Freesia C/S to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and attach it to the card base.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". Stamp the floral image using VersaMark Ink, sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder over the image, tap off and heat set.

Using Stampin' Blends, colour in the flowers and leaves. I used: Light Soft Sea Foam, Light Fresh Freesia and Light Azure Afternoon. I wanted the colours to be soft and light.

Attach this layer to the card base.

Using Azure Afternoon Ink, stamp the sentiment onto Basic White C/S. Punch out using the 1 3/4" Punch or Stylish Shapes Dies.

I just love this sentiment! Such a positive message!

Punch out a 2" Vellum C/S circle or die cut the circle with Stylish Shapes.

Attach the sentiment to the Vellum circle using Dimensionals. Then attach it to the card front.

Attach a ribbon bow using a Glue Dot and add some Gold Sequins to finish off the card. I used Fresh Freesia Ribbon but it has retired so any ribbon you have would be great. 


Don't forget to stamp your envelope and inside of the card!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Paper Napkin Card!

 Paper Napkin Card!

Paper napkins are not just for cleaning your face anymore! You can also make gorgeous cards with them!

I taught this technique to some new stampers today, they will never look at a paper napkin in the same way! 

The Dollar Stores in my area have a great selection of paper napkins.

Directions:

Cut a Gorgeous Grape Card Stock Base to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4".

Cut 2 pieces of Basic White C/S: 1 @ 4" x 5 1/4" and 1@ 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".

Remove all the white backing from the paper napkin until you are left with just the patterned layer. 


Cut the paper napkin a bit larger that the 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White C/S layer. Scrunch the napkin up in your hand. Gently un-scrunch and flatten it out. 


Lay down a scrap piece of paper onto your work surface. Using a "glue stick" (like you used in school), completely cover the Basic White C/S layer with glue. Then lay your napkin, right side facing out onto the card stock and gently smooth it out. 


Turn this layer over. Using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue or Stampin' Seal, glue the excess of the napkin to the back of the layer. 

Then attach this layer to the slightly larger Basic White C/S layer.


Attach these layers to the card base using Dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment using Gorgeous Grape Ink onto some Basic White C/S and punch out with the 2" Circle Punch.

Punch out a Vellum Decorative Circle. Attach the sentiment circle to the Vellum using Dimensionals. Then attach it to the card front.


Add a Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon Bow and some cute Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish off the card. 


A few of the supplies I have used are retired so use what you have on hand. 


I hope I have helped you to look at paper napkins in a whole different way!

If you need any supplies from Stampin' Up! please reach out and I can help you place an order or help you decide what you need.

If you place a $60 or more order with me I will send you one of these cards! Valid until June 30, 2023.

Happy Stamping and Creating!
