The Help Me Grow dies combine to make this beautiful pot of flowers. Old Olive cardstock and Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper were used to cut the leaves and the handle of the trowel. The pot was cut from Natural Hues Designer Series Paper and altered with Pecan Pie ink to give a terracotta look. The trowel was cut out of Lunar Lustre Specialty Paper.

Fragrant Layers Stamps Cut with the Forever Florals Dies to Create a Unique and Beautiful Look!

Forever-Florals-Dies-Fragrant-Layers-Stamps-Birthday-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made with the Forever Florals Dies and the Fragrant Layers stamp set. Stamping then cutting creates a unique look. 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. Let me give you some details about this front. It is 3 layers of Basic White, 2 are the Thick Basic White and 1 is the regular Basic White. Cut one of the Thick Basic White 4" x 5 1/4" pieces with the Forever Florals die. Stamp the beautiful flowers with the Fragrant Layers stamps in Berry Burst, Secret Sea, and Garden Green. Do this on one of the Thick White pieces and the regular Basic White piece. Cut the Thick White piece with the Forever Florals die and adhere it to the other Basic White piece that was cut with the same die.

After you have the 2 cut pieces adhered together, adhere the last stamped, but not cut, Basic White piece underneath the cut pieces, lining up the flowers.

Rolling Waves Bundle Makes a Fantastic Ocean Scene

Rolling-Waves-Bundle-Ocean-Scene-Birthday-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made with the awesome Rolling Waves Bundle. This card is a great birthday card. 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 Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper in Pool Party really makes the waves seem real. The Lunar Lustre Specialty paper adds that topping on the waves. A piece of white glimmer paper give the illusion of the waves breaking.

Of course we have to have our setting sun! I stamped the waves below the die cuts with Pretty Peacock, stamping twice on the bottom layer and once on the the next layer.

Here's how I designed the inside. The Basic White piece was cut with a die from Branching Out. Pretty Peacock ink was used to stamp the sentiments from Beautiful Butterflies and Rolling Waves.
