Today’s card was a card I designed for last month’s library card class and haven’t posted.

This card uses the Memorable Blooms bundle and even though this stamp set has floral and foliage images and would normally lend itself to very feminine cards but this more masculine card uses the leaf sprig from the Memorable Blooms die set in neutral colors.

Measurements:
BASE: Very Vanilla CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scrap for die
DSP: (2) 3/4″ x 3″ from Naturally Gilded
Specialty paper
(2) 3/4″ x 3″ from the Gold Foil Specialty
paper
Window Sheet: 3″ x 3″

Glue the 3/4″ x 3″ Naturally Gilded Specialty Paper to the top of the Window Sheet.

Glue the 3/4″ x 3″ Golf Foil Specialty Paper to the bottom of the Window Sheet.

Glue the last two Specialty Paper strips to the middle of the Window Sheet spacing evenly.

Place the Window Sheet square in the upper middle of the card and stamp the sentiment below the square in the lower 1/3 of the card in Wild Wheat ink.

Pop up the Window Sheet with Stampin’ Dimensionals strategically placed under the Specialty paper strips so that they do not show.

Adhere the square over the sentiment with the Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Place the Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins around the sentiment.

Adhere the die cut over the left-hand side of the popped up square.

This Designer Series Paper Thoughtful Journey DSP was love at first sight! These water-colored works of art are stunning and make putting a beautiful card together so super easy!
Do you love making cards with Designer Series Paper go you want a sampling of all of the papers in the new catalog? I am doing a paper share and you can get a 6″ x 6″ piece of every double sided design in the new catalog. This card uses a 2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of DSP so you could make 3 of these cards from one sheet of 6″ x 6″ piece of paper!

Interested in a paper share – contact me for all the details!

Measurements:
Base: Mossy Meadow 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Wild Wheat strips (2) 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Lost Lagoon strips 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
DSP: 2″ x 5 1/2″
Basic White scraps for 2 sentiment circles
4″ x 5 1/4″ layer for the inside

I punched a circle from scrap Basic White cardstock from the 2 3/8″ circle punch then picked one of the circle dies from the Spotlight on Nature dies that fits inside that punched circle and die cut a slightly smaller circle for the sentiment.
I stamped the sentiment thinking of you from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and adhered the two circles together.

I cut the 6″ x 6″ dsp to 5 1/2″ at the bottom of the scene and saved that strip for the inside of this card. I cut the 6″ x 5 1/2″ ppiece into three equal parts at 2″, 4″ and 6″ that way I can make three of these cards from one sheet of 6″ x 6″ DSP!
I adhered the Wild Wheat CS strips to each long edge making the width even on both sides and from top to bottom.
I then adhered the Lost Lagoon strips to the outside edges of the Wild Wheat strips making sure they are evenly spaced as well.

Adhere the DSP and strip piece to the left edge of the card base I left a equal amount of Mossy Meadow showing on the left-hand edge.

I popped up the sentiment circle on Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed in the lower right-hand corner.

Adhere a Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer to the inside of the card and add that 1/2″ strip to the bottom to tie in with the DSP on the card front!

I added three Adhesive-backed Neutral sequins to finish off this simple card that allows this beautiful DSP to shine through!

Grab some of our gorgeous DSP and make an easy card and send it out to someone you love! Now go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
