This card is a special thank you destined for Stampin' Up!  They treated me (and other qualifying demonstrators) to a recent cruise to Alaska.  They have been fabulous friends and partners as I have built my Stampin' Up! business.  Who better to receive a handmade card?

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin pretty mojo monday fun flowers big shot die The strips were cut to 7/8" wide.  There are several other patterns in the Pocketful of Posies Designer Series Paper that would also be dynamite with this layout.  It was so hard to choose from the modern mix of designs.
  • The Fun Flowers Bigz L Die (available thru the Occasions Mini Catalog Carryover List) gets quick texture by crumpling the layers.  Can it get any easier?
  • The leaves were cropped with the Build a Blossom Punch (also available thru the Occasions Mini Catalog Carryover List) and crumpled.
  • Isn't the font for the sentiments smashing?  I added the bold "hello" to the envelope for a coordinated finish.

  7. Thank you for sharing this card!! The new designer paper is so neat and the flower is special. The colors you used are wonderful, too!!

  8. Quite impressive … I see that you use ribbon often. I seldom used ribbon – until now – when I watched your tutorial on how to attach ribbon to a card through a punched hole. I love the 1 minute tutorials.
    THANKS !!!
    Diane

  9. This is stunning! I love that new dsp, can’t wait to see the rest when my catalogue gets here!

  10. cute, cute, cute! love the new DSP and the My Friend stamp set. Thanks for sharing!

  11. QUICK TIP: Handmade cards are precious cargo can be like small packages to mail. To minimize “smashing” of the flower, I will be placing it in the envelope shown (likely without sealing the flap since it takes up more space) and then mailing it using a Stampin’ Up! padded envelope (116911, $2.95 for 3).

  12. Beautiful card, Mary! So many color combination possibilities also ~ but your is perfect! Stampin’ Up! will be proud :o)

  13. Wow Mary! I love your colour combo this week! So fresh and pretty. The flower is gorgeous and now I want that DSP!! Thanks for sharing!
    Smiles,
    Lesley

  15. WHAT a beautiful card!!! That flower is so pretty!I also like the Cupcake card too. I have the cupcake punch and haven’t used it yet and after viewing your blog, I need to get that out! You are such an inspiration and I love your blog!

  16. Mary: Don’t know what I like more…..Your recipe for your card – or the DSP. LOVELY in either case. Thanks for sharing and I just know someone at SU is going to flip when they receive your card.

  17. Very simple and elegant card–I really like it and am now anxious to play with that die. Thank you very much.
