Today’s card uses a quick and simple layout to show off some wonderful images and versatile sentiments. And it’s a layout you can use time and again, simply customizing it with your favorite Designer Series Paper and the sentiment you need.

The Poetic Petals Stamp set (168266) has been used for this card’s layout and this stamp set has some wonderful all occasions sentiments in it that also use some lovely fonts.

This stamp set has been teamed up with the Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (POM 168598) which has a wonderful shimmer to it.

A bit more shine was added with the Gold Adhesive Backed Dots (168467). A bit of texture created with the Linen Thread (104199) adds interest too.

Are you a animal lover? I know I’ve been my whole life always having a cat or dog around. Fast friends that I would pal around with and tell my secrets to as a child and learned about responsibility with too.

Today’s card uses a fun fold to highlight some of those fun furry friends.

Done in Lost Lagoon the Berry Burst adds a fun pop of color as a backdrop for these adorable pups.

The card opens first to show off the lovely texture of the Softly Woven Embossing Folder (168466)

And then the repeated Berry Burst Mat with butterflies for your message.

I think this Cutest Crew Bundle (Online Exclusive 167149), is so cute and a wonderful way to send a hello to a friend or family.

And the set of dies found in this bundle give you some fun elements and the ability to cut out images too. What do you think? Would you have a family member or friends who who enjoy receiving a card like this?

Scenic Coast Retirement Card

Posted on by

As we wind down the month of August I thought I’d share a lovely retirement card with you made with the Sunset Coast Stamp Set (167775).

This card uses the Book Binding fold creating a fun twist with just a simple score line and some adhesive. The card base is 4 1/4″ x 11″ and the card base is scored at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″. Folded in half and then adhesive is added between the 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″ mark and adhered down to create the book binding.

Simple stamping was used for the focal point and this set is great to create scenes with like this since it contains all kinds of fun 2 step images. A strip of the Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (167773) and some twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) adds a bit more interest and enhances the nautical feel.

This stamp set contains a lovely font and wonderful sentiments to create with.

And if you love this set, stop by to see the Scenic Coast Suite (167786) in my Online Store. It’s filled with some wonderful coordinating goodies to create with.
