abit closer..

We begin with Crushed Curry cardbase topped with a curry layer embossed with the Damask folder.

On the Very Vanilla we stamp at the bottom horizontally with Daffodil Delight ink;  reinking with Crushed Curry we stamp vertically crossing the bottom left side! 

The greeting is stamped in black.  Then we added the flower silhouette & butterfly silhouette in black for great contrast.

A bit of sparkle for the flower centers is created with Holographic Resin Dots & the butterfly incorporates one of the new gold Flower Accents.  All this fun is tied up with the bow in striped gold ribbon.

Today we're creating a Quick & Gorgeous Birthday Card Using Encircled with Love Stamps by Stampin'Up! The greetings in this set are just perfect to cover nearly every occasion you will encounter & were designed to coordinate with the new 1 7/8" circle punch that will be available soon. So today's card uses a different punch that works just as well & demonstrates the great versatility of these stamps.

Here's the stamp set...

This is today's creation...

& a bit closer look...

We begin with a cardbase of Thick Basic White giving us a nice sturdy card front! Then next layer is Cloud Cover one of this year's new In Colors.  Today we are pulling out the 'blue' because of the blue in the designer paper( Mixed Media set)

The birthday greeting is stamped in Misty Moonlight on Basic White cardstock--no need to use the Thick for the layers & punches--the regular Basic White works fine.  The image is then punched out with To the Point Punch which is a quite lovely design in itself.

Using this floral pattern designates this card for the ladies, however, just a switch to another design would make this ideal for guys or kid!  It's always nice to have a design the lends itself to a change of color or designer paper to cover all your occasions.

A bit of red is added to the sides of the punch out & layered on the decorative circle on Misty Moonlight with an under decorative circle of white to pop the spiffy border.

The finaly touch is the Flower accents--those adorable gold dots with an imprint of a flower on top...just a bit of shine to top it all off.

The directions and measurements are below along with the supply list to order what you need.

Today we're Creating a Quick & Easy Birthday Card Using Paper Tags Bundle. This set of stamps and dies is super cute and gives us some great sentiments that are great for adults, teens, and kids.

Here's the stamp set...

This is today's card...

A closer look...

We began our creation with a simple cardbase of Pool Party cardstock. The next layer adds super contrast in Pretty in Peacock that coordinates beautifully with the Pool Party.

Our die cut uses the scallopy tag die and the designer paper is from the Frames & Florals papers...using the designer paper eliminate the need for any background stamping and still gives us a great design that adds interest without overpowering our focal point.

Over these two layers we have wrapped Strawberry Slush Linen Ribbon and tied a cute bow at the side.

Our focal point is the white circle punched with the 2 3/8 circle punch from Basis White cardstock. The greeting is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink.

And, finally, we've added the sparkle that all great cards must have...the 3 small silver Drusy dots that are unsurpassed with awesome sparkle!

Today we're Creating Quick & Easy Cards with Layered Thoughts Stamp Set. Sometimes we want to send a special card but life happens and we are short on time. The Layerd Thoughts stamp set is deisgned to get you to your special card quickly and easily.

This is the Layered Thoughts set...

Here's today's creation...

&  a bit closer look...

We use a Poppy Parade base card and top it with a layer of Basic Black--this gives us a super contrast without overtaking the next layer which is from the Mixed Floral Designer Series Paper. This awesome design appears to be layers of overlapping paint swipes giving you tons of color in a pattern that does not take your attention away from your focal point.

The focal point is a die cut using the Nessted Essentials dies. We stamped our greeting in black ink--this stamp set has multiple variations that can be combined to give you just the right sentiment.

Next we layered the leaf stem in Garden Green topped with the cute flower in Calypso Coral. The center is die cut from the Peach Pie glimmer paper (24-26 In Colors). These cuties are from the Impressions Abloom set--very casual and adorable.

Lastly we add the super pizzazz of the Flower Accents embellishments...these are new for us and I can tell they are going to be very popular in adding just that right touch of shine.  A gold base is imprinted wiht a flower on top...too cute!!!
