Elegant Birthday Card For Freshly Made Sketches

 Elegant Birthday Card For Freshly Made Sketches

Here is my card for the weekly challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. Check out all the other cards HERE.

I started with a Very Vanilla Card Stock base , cut to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2".

The strip of paper in behind is from the Kraft 6x6 Paper Pack. It measures 2" x 5 1/2" and is embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I used the beautiful Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper as my background. It measures 3 3/4" x 5". This DSP has gorgeous foil details!

 I die cut a Very Vanilla Card Stock label using the Scalloped Contours Dies. *Sneak Peek* The floral stamp I used is from a set called "Blessings Of Home". It will be in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalogue! I stamped the flowers in Smoky Slate Ink. The sentiment from Welcoming Woods is stamped in Memento Black Ink. This stamp set has the most beautiful sentiments and fonts! 

I finished the card off with a gold bow from the Simply Elegant Trim Combo and some Champagne Rhinestones. 

My fur helper, Lola, asleep on the job! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Fun Fold Z Card

Fun Fold Z Card

I decided to make a Fun Fold Z Card. They are super easy to do and fun to make!

Directions and Sizes:

I started with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Soft Succulent Card Stock. Score on the long side at 2 1/8" x 4 1/4". The 2 1/8" section will fold back to create the Z.

I then cut a piece of Evening Evergreen C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed it using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Attach this panel onto the left side folded back piece only using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" and a piece of Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper to 2 1/2" x 4". Attach the DSP to the Basic Black panel. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Punch out a Very Vanilla C/S tag using the Elegant Tag Punch. Stamp a sentiment using the Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Evening Evergreen Ink. Attach the tag to the card front at an angle using Dimensionals.

Add a Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon bow, a Bumblebee Trinket and some 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone effected by the wildfires. Stay safe, stay strong.

Happy Stamping and Creating,

Arlene
