Perennial Lavender Happy Birthday Fun Fold Card

 Today's card is so pretty in person. It is not a traditional fold on the left card. The center panel opens to the right! The paper is from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. Depending on how you cut the paper you can just a few flowers or a whole panel of flowers. For this card, I chose just a few flowers. 

I love purple and this card delivers on that. Two shades of Stampin' Up! purples: Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Freesia. Plus those pretty sparkling gems add more shades. They are our Purple Fine Shimmer Gems. The Happy Birthday is stamped in Gorgeous Grape. The Double Oval punch is retiring but it was perfect for this card. 

This is what the card looks like opened up. 

My Tip: Be sure and adhere the 1" strip under the white card liner before adhering the liner to the inside of the card! Ask me how I figured that out? And: do not put your adhesive all the way around the Fresh Freesia layer or you will stick your card together and it won't open!

Here's the video on my You Tube channel so you can see how to assemble the card.

Detailed Dogwood Card

Hello. Happy March!!

Today's card is made with one of the free rewards you could have earned during Sale-a-bration. The stamp set is called Detailed Dogwood. If you earned one or are looking for ideas for cards, here's my card to consider. 

My card is a sympathy card and uses a scripture stamp out of the Quiet Reflection stamp set. This set is an Online Exclusive, did you see it? It is so pretty and has sentiments appropriate for the loss of a pet! We don't have many sets for that. The die cut that the dogwood is stamped on is also an Online Exclusive called Garden Meadow dies. 

Did you manage to earn another one of the SAB rewards called Flight & Airy? It's the one with the pretty bluebirds. I used the B side of one of the sheets to layer on the card front. You can substitute any paper you have for that. Be creative!

Here is the video I did demonstrating how I made the card. 

Cutting Instructions:

Card Base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and fold at 4 1/4"

DSP: 5 1/4" x 4"

Piece of Basic White for die cutting, inside layer and the dragonfly

Sentiment strip: 1/2" x 4, cut slant on each end

Notes of Nature and Nature's Sweetness DSP

 Hello! I am still here. We have been in the middle of a medical emergency and I have been out of town. But I temporarily home and did a quick video demonstrating this pretty card. This card was inspired by Mary Deatherage. It uses the Note of Nature Bundle and is just so pretty in person. The card base is Pecan Pie and stamped in Pecan Pie ink. I really like the shabby chic and vintage look of this card. The Nature's Sweetness specialty designer series paper on side 'A' has gold details and the 'B' side is graphic designs. For this card I used one A side and a piece of B side. The little layer of gold is Distressed Gold Specialty paper. The Paper Butterfly Accents are perfect details for this card.  Don't forget to stamp your envelopes! Check out cutting instructions below and the list of supplies used to create this card. 

Pecan Pie Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4"; small piece to die cut the circle under the butterfly

Nature's Sweetness Specialty DSP: 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" for the grid DSP square on front; 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" the leaves DSP rectangle

Distressed Gold Specialty Paper: 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" for the mat under the grid DSP square on front; 2 5/8" x 3 3/8" for the mat under leaves DSP rectangle' 3/4" x 2 3/8" mat for sentiment; a piece to die cut the leaves

Basic White Cardstock: 5/8" x 2 1/4" for sentiment and 3 3/4" x 5" for liner
