Simple yet elegant defines today’s congrats card. Even without stamping, the framelits and embellishments used combine to make a sophisticated card that can be used for a number of occasions . . . think birthday, wedding, graduation, job promotion.
I love hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- A circle was cut using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies from the Very Vanilla panel.
- Focus on the beauty! The intricate Lace Doily (new in the Occasions Catalog) provides a beautiful focal point. Very Vanilla on one side of the doily and Whisper White on the other gives them added value.
- The doily was adhered to the A2 card base (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) and the cut panel is placed over it using Foam Adhesive Strips. This gives an interesting, dimensional look.
- The sentiment was cropped from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies. It’s cut once using gold foil sheet and cut an additional 3 x using Very Vanilla cardstock. Layering gives a boost of added dimension.
- The Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies contain additional sentiment dies that could easily be interchanged on this card.
- A few added sequins from the Metallic Sequin Assortment finishes it off with a bit more golden sparkle.

Mary, I’m slow to CASE this card but I love it! I didn’t have gold sequins so I used a paper punch to punch out little circles. It’s so clean but so elegant. Thank you for the inspiration.
Brilliant idea!
Just the type of card I need for a 50th celebration coming up. Thank you for the inpiration!
very beautiful, Mary!

Hi Mary,
I know we could put whatever we wanted on the inside of this card but on some of your cards you show the inside. It’s nice to see how you have finished the inside on lots of your samples. I always enjoy your cards. Thank you!
Very elegant and it would work for any occasion. Love the doily!
Gorgeous card. I love the simple white and gold colors. I will be making this card for sure. Thank for sharing.
Gorgeous card!
Lovely !
Jaw-dropping Wow! So simple yet oh so gorgeous!
It looks as if the dollie is raised off of the very vanilla pannel. Is it?
I’m LOVING how you die-cut the layering circle and then popped the Lace Doilies behind it. BRILLIANT!!!!!
Fabulous!
You used all the right words up Nancy – this card is perfection! I totally adore it.
WOW Mary, what word do I use to describe this card? It is gorgeous, simple, elegant and perfect!
