Blessed Beginnings Church Easel Card

Blessed-Beginnings-Easter-Easel-Baptism-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a beautiful card I made with the Blessed Beginnings Bundle. This card could be for Easter, a baptism, wedding, or even a birthday. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card.

Here is the front of the card. The Everyday Arches dies were used for the beautiful arches. Stone and Vine Embossing Folder added the texture to the Thick Basic White arch. That is Fresh Freesia cardstock peeking out between the arches.

This view shows the easel design of the card. The dimensions and score lines for an easel card start with an 11" x 4 1/4" card base scored at 5 1/2" and 2 3/4". The front Thick Basic White piece and Fresh Freesia piece are 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Fresh Freesia and Old Olive ink were blended in the middle of the arch. The church was stamped in Secret Sea ink on Wood Texture Designer Series paper and cut with the coordinating die. The Bronze and Light Lemon Lolly Blends were used to color the church. The Color Lifter was used to lift some of the color to give dimension. The door, cross, and roof edge were cut out of Earthen Tone Metallic Specialty paper. The tree and bushes were stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Old Olive cardstock and cut with the dies.

Gallery Blooms Book Bind Fold Sympathy Card

book-bind-fold-Gallery-Blooms-sympathy-Beautiful-Motifs-Damask-Designs-Embossing-Folder-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a beautiful book bind birthday card I made with the Gallery Blooms stamp set and the Beautiful Motifs Dies. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card.

Here is the front of the card, which shows the book bind fold. All you need to do is score a piece of 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Misty Moonlight at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4". Next, the small fold section is adhered together to make the book bind.

Note all the textures with the gold heat embossing, the Damask Design Embossing Folder, and the gold die from Beautiful Motifs.

The Thoughtful Moments 3D Hybrid Embossing Folder was used to cut a piece of gold foil to make this sentiment. 3D Hybrid means that the embossing folder is used with a die, so it cuts and embosses at the same time.

The Damask Designs Embossing Folder was used to add some interest to the front pieces.

Here's the inside stamped with stamps from Prayers & Promises and Gallery Blooms in Misty Moonlight.
