Today’s card features the Love You To Pieces Bundle and a little play on words . . . puzzle pieces (Puzzle Pieces dies) and the piece of cake pattern (Broadway Designer Series Paper).
BUNDLE & SAVE 10% Purchase the Love You To Pieces Stamp Set and Puzzle Pieces Dies, and save 10%! IF these products carry over into the new Annual Catalog (starts June 4), they will no longer be bundle priced at 10% off. See all available Stampin’ Up! 10% off bundles in my Stampin’ Up! product store here.
STAY TUNED. I’ll share the retiring product list on Monday, April 15.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Whisper White Thick card stock.
Wrap a piece of Lovely Lipstick 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon around a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock, securing with a bow. Adhere to the base with Snail Adhesive.
Use a die cutting machine to crop a piece of Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper with the Puzzle Pieces die. TIP: Leave pieces in the die. Add adhesive within the 3 1/2″ center area of a 3 3/4″ square of Basic Black card stock. Lay die and Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper pieces on top (carefully center) and nudge from die in one big piece. Adhere layer to the card with Snail Adhesive.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. Crop with a die cutting machine, platform and Puzzle Pieces die. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Fun! Add three Melon Mambo Glitter Enamels Dots as shown (one on the sentiment and two on pieces of cake).
Crop a 1 5/8 x 6 piece of the Broadway Bound diamond pattern with the envelope liner die (Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies), die cutting machine, and magnetic base. Adhere to the outside flap of a Whisper White Medium Envelope. TIP: Cut with the envelope liner die on the opposite side of the pattern and use a relatively clean bottom plate. This reduces creases from the cuts in the plates.
OH, SO PRETTY! Love this bundle? You can view another card I created using this bundle on a previous blog post here.

These cards are amazing, colorful and fun Mary, I’m sure kids of all ages would totally enjoy them.
I think you can also cut the pieces from thick card stock after you stamp them and then, put them in a little envelope for the recipient to put together, I think they will get a kick out of it.
Thank you for sharing.

The first card is fantastic to me mainly because it can be used as a masculine, female, teenager or adult card. The second card is fabulous because it contains one of the many color combinations I LOVE, it reminds me of jelly beans. Spring and Easter all rolled into one.
What a cute idea, Mary!!
Such a clever idea Mary! I have used this set a couple of times but never once thought to cut a piece of DSP like that. So cute. I will be looking at my paper stash in a whole new light. Thanks.
Bold & Fun kind of card. Simply adore this card my friend.
