Feel Better Soon Unbounded Love Card

 The Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection on pages 52-55 of the Annual catalog caught my eye the first time through the catalog. The colors are my favorites, there is some shiny paper that coordinates, unique embellishments, and flowers! 

If you haven't noticed the Unbounded Love stamp set, take a minute to check it out. So many sentiments! Plus the dies are sized to fit a lot of the sentiments which is a huge bonus.

For this card I used what we refer to as the B side of the designer series paper. Pretty in Pink is one of my favorite new In Colors. The Peach Pie glimmer paper adds subtle sparkle and is die cut with one of the dies from the Unbonded Love dies.


Here is my inspiration card from the catalog:


It is a smaller card and is on a white card base. I just sized it up to a regular card and used the same layout for the sentiment. It leaves a lot more free space on my card but the paper takes center stage on this one.

Here is another version with a different sentiment and different color of the Resin Dots.


The inside is an opportunity for more creativity. Here are the two ways I stamped the inside:

Cutting Instructions:
Card Base is cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4"
Designer Series Paper it cut 4" x 5 1/4"
The rest of the pieces are scraps big enough to die cut

Thanks for checking out my card. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help figuring out how to make this card. It is a very easy card to copy.

Until next time,

How to Make a Fractured Card

Hello! Today I have a fractured card for you. This is my first one because I thought they would be too hard. Well, I was so wrong. These cards turn out so pretty and show off your chosen papers so nicely. 

Those butterflies are part of the Sketched Butterflies bundle. Mine are die cut using one of the dies from the bundle. I love the fluttering movement because I didn't stick down the wings. I used a mini glue dot in the center of each butterfly. 


The Unbounded Beauty designer series paper has colors I really like. The secret to a fractured card is the 2" square center! It is mounted at an angle like a diamond. The 1/2" strips are added next and trimmed off at the edge of the piece of Basic White cardstock. I used 4 1/4" pieces of the DSP to adhere next. The corner will line up perfectly is you have been careful to line up the strips accurately. That's the only thing hard about this card-accuracy. The label is punched with the new 

Here is the video I did showing have to make this card: HERE
