I have been back from an Amazing Stampin’ Up! OnStage Event for a couple of days. A fun time was had for sure. We all received the upcoming Annual Catalog as well as some sneak peeks at upcoming May Online Exclusives. There are some awesome products in both releases.
This is a reminder to please check out the Online Exclusives currently available. Samples are shown with each product the same as in the catalog. I will admit that it has taken me a bit of time to get used to looking online. But then I think that I do this with most of the places I shop regularly. So why not with SU!
The card I have to share today is a simple Thank You type card. It is for all of you. You have all supported me in some way with my business and I am very grateful! This is a simple layout that can be simplified or taken up a notch, depending on your time or wishes.
STAMPS
The stamped images are both from the Memorable Blooms stamp set. There is a bundled Die set, but I opted to stamp the floral image on the larger white layer. I had chosen the DSP first so colored the floral with Stampin’ Blends to match the paper. The flowers are Pretty In PInk with Pretty Peacock as the leaves.
To add the sentiment layer was a bit of a trial! The way everything layed out did not leave much room. So I got creative and left a straight edge along the top and sides with the bottom fussy cut. I actually like how it turned out. To create this, I first fussy cut the sentiment and then layered that onto the Pretty Peacock paper. Then it was fairly easy to fussy cut around the fussy cut. LOL!!!
PAPERS
There are actually two different sheets of DSP used. Both are from the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper. This 6X6 pack is so fun with the lily pond and duck images on one side and complimentary design sheets on the reverse. I have used two of the reverse sides. The sentiment layer is a soft dotted pattern. And the strip of little flowers is what brought in the Pretty Peacock cardstock. I chose that as the thin layers and Pretty In Pink as the card base.
The card base measures 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. I added the thin layer of Pretty Peacock at 5 1/8 X 3 7/8. That left the Basic White layer to 5 X 3 3/4. And the DSP strip on the left only runs the length of the White. It measures 1 1/8 X 3 3/4.
EXTRAS
The DSP strip and the fussy cut sentiment added some extra touches to the card layout. So it really did not require a lot of Extras! It did require bling however. I went with the extra bling in 5 Rhinestone jewels. They are scattered around the flowers and a single one added to the sentiment.
