STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Start with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Whisper White Thick card stock.
Use the Stamparatus to position and stamp the sentiment (Part of My Story Stamp Set) in Call Me Clover Ink onto a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Whisper White Thick card stock. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. TIP: Watch my video here and learn how to get the most out of the Stampin’ Up! Cling Stamps.
Layer and adhere a 3 x 3 square of Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper to 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 square of Call Me Clover card stock with Snail Adhesive. Wrap with Call Me Clover 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon and secure with a bow. TIP: I tucked a glue dot below the knot of the bow to help keep it in place. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, envelope liner die (Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies) and the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper to create an envelope liner. Adhere to the inside of a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Medium Envelope.

Mary, I have to say that I really love all your cards! Your style is very appealing to me in it’s simple elegance. Whether bold colors or softer tones, your cards always have something that stands out with the clean lines and sometimes minimal but amazing designs. As a fellow demonstrator, your cards are an inspiration to me as I share ideas with my customers. This sketch is great for those beginning stampers, or those of us “collectors” that are hording way too much beautiful dsp! Thank you, and keep those great ideas coming.
Thank you for your lovely comment, Lorraine. This is one of my “go to” sketches for a quick card. It allows the designer paper to “speak” in a big way as well as get used! Use your DSP, promise?
Gorgeous card Mary. Love the simplicity and bright colors. That envelope liner is so fun to complete the card. TFS.
