STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Adhere 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Soft Suede card stock to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Early Espresso card base.
Emboss a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Real Red card stock with the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. TIP: Run the embossing folder forward and backward through the Big Shot to maximize the embossing texture in each direction.
For a rustic touch of “grunge,” use Sponge Daubers to add Real Red Ink on both raised as well as flat areas.
Wrap the Real Red card stock with Nature’s Twine (Crumb Cake), securing with a bow. Wrap again with Linen Thread, threading through a True Gentleman Button and securing with a bow. Add a Glue Dot below the Twine knot to help keep it in place.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment (Strong & Beautiful Stamp Set) in Early Espresso Ink onto Crumb Cake card stock. Crop using the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and 2 3/4 x 1 7/8 Stitched Shaped Oval Framelit Die. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Great card Mary. I like the sentiment!
I have found so many reasons to use the Strong and Beautiful stamp set!
What a beautiful card my friend. Loving that Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder …… Just happened to have made a tag with that folder today!
It’s my current favorite of the embossing folders (but ask me tomorrow . . . I get to change my mind, right)?
Pretty card, Mary. I agree with Brian about the button being that perfect something something. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks, Hilda. I love when I can tuck in a button. So much personality!
Beautiful card Mary….love the simplicity of the card and yet it is very elegant..
Thanks, Bernice. The card base is Real Red and much softer than in the photo. It looks like Poppy in the photo – just couldn’t get the right light!
Gorgeous card, Mary! Love the pop of Poppy Parade. The sweet button pulls it all together beautifully! ♥
