What could be more chic than crisp black and white and this stunning die cut created with the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora Die! The die cut does the designing for you.
WHAT I LOVE ! The Something Fancy bundle (includes the tag die and sentiment for today’s card) should march to the top of your wish list for the Spring Mini. It combines a beautiful font and sentiments with so many essential shapes. It made the list of My Favorite Things here!

Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere an Adhesive Sheet to the back of the the larger Basic Black layer.
Crop the larger Basic Black layer with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) and the large Two-Tone Flora die.
TIP! The Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip is your “best friend” to remove the little bits of card stock from your detailed die!
Remove the adhesive backing and adhere to the Basic White layer.
Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the 3 x 4 3/8 Stitched Rectangle Die.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stamparatus to position and stamp the sentiment (Something Fancy Stamp Set) and largest detailed flower (Two-Tone Flora) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto the Basic White layer.
Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the Something Fancy 2 x 3 1/8 Tag and Teardrop Hole dies.
Adhere the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Thread a piece of black Baker’s Twine Essentials, securing with a bow as shown.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish the flower center with three Matte Black Dots.
OH, SO PRETTY!
OH, SO PRETTY! Another black and white beauty! The card above was created with the Biggest Wish Stamp Set and Very Best Trio Punch! The black and white designs come from the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper(now retired!) but the All Together Designer Series Paper would make a great substitution and it’s in the Clearance Rack!
