Paper Crafting Perfection for Spring Cards!

Create this Hello Card using the Sending Smiles Bundle from Stampin' Up! Card designed by Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty (1)

Need a fresh and fabulous foundation for your spring cards?  A simple stamped floral background using Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles can be your “go to.”

WHAT I LOVE ! The possibilities for color combinations are limitless and definitely not just for spring.  Take the colors a touch brighter for summer or more muted and earthy for fall.

Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Crop the Vellum and Early Espresso (adhered to an Adhesive Sheet) layers with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini)and the coordinating Sending dies.

Remove the protective backing from the Early Espresso die-cut and adhere to the vellum die-cut.

Adhere to the die-cut sentiment with small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue (only where the die-cuts touch).

PERFECT POLISH!  Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope.  You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.

  1. It goes without saying that I LOVE ALL of your cards Mary! This is one of my FAVORITE bundles. I love how you did SENDING in the Early Espresso with the Vellum backdrop. I’m with Brian! What a beautiful card! I love the arrangement and colors. I always see that WOW factor when I see your cards!
