Katie's Cards

  I wanted to use the CTMH Finding Beauty set. I liked how these stamps had a watercolor effect to them. I used my new So Swirly embossing folder to give the Polished Pink CS some texture. Then used Pear Pizzazz as the accent color. The Mother's Day sentiment is from SU Daffodil Daydream. 

 I got the inspiration for this card from a YouTube video by Sue Stampfield. It is a great way to use up scraps and the black makes the floral image pop! 1. Cut black cardstock to 11 x 4 1/4. Score at 5 1/2. 2. Cut black cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4 and emboss. Attach to the front of the card. 3. Cut DSP to 1 1/2 x 4. 4. Cut coordinating cardstock to 1 3/4 x 4. Attach the DSP and then use dimensionals to attach to the card front. 5. Using scraps, stamp the sentiment, punch it out and attach to coordinating cardstock. 6. Cut out white or vanilla cardstock for the inside of the card, 4 x 5 1/4. Stamp as desired and attach. 7. Embellish as desired.

 I created these cards using Stampin' Up!'s Daffodil Delight DSP, stamps, and dies.  I used this blog  as inspiration for this card. To create: Very Vanilla cardstock at 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2. Colored cardstock 4 x 10 1/4, scored at 2 1/2 in and 5 in. Fold to create the easel shape. Attach the colored cardstock to the Very Vanilla. Cut coordinating DSP to 3 3/4 x 3 and 3 3/4 x 2 1/4. Attach on appropriate sides. Stamp and die cut image of single daffodil. Color. attach to front easel panel with dimensionals. Attach a ribbon and gems as desired. I created these as anniversary cards, so I stamped a Happy Anniversary sentiment as well as a black image of the daffodil to the inside of the card.
