Well Written Birthday Card

 A friend asked me to make some cards for her. This is one of the cards I made. An interesting thing about this card is that there is zero stamping on it! Take a look:

All supplies available from Stampin' Up!:

Cardstock: Purple Posy (Item #150881)

Daffodil Delight (#119683)

Basic Gray (#121044)

Accessories: Best Dressed Designer Series Paper (retired)

Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493)

Mini Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine (#150673)

Tasteful Labels Dies (#152886)

Well Written Dies (#151816)

5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (#146912)

Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (#152155)

Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815)

If you notice that the label looks to be rather thick, it is because I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets on the back side. Some of the Tasteful Label dies have embossing edges on them, so that when I ran it through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine, it gave a really deep embossed edge to the label. Plus it is like a great big solid sheet of Dimensional foam, so it also pops it up! Awesome!

I also  loved using the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. It adds such a beautiful touch of shine to this card. And it comes with so many different pieces of the laser-cut paper that you have multiple options to create with!

If you see anything you want to order, please feel free to contact me about helping you to place your order.  Or go to https://www.stampinup.com and use the item numbers that I included. And I would appreciate it if you put me as your demonstrator, if you are not already working with one.

Peaceful Season's Greetings

"Peaceful Boughs" is a wonderful stamp set that is made by Stampin' Up! It has a coordinating die set called "Beautiful Boughs" that I also used to make the pine cone, and the pine bough. The pale green leaves and the gold foil branches are from the "In the Woods" die set. I love to layer my die cuts. It gives such a feeling of dimension and depth.

The wood patterned paper is from the "In Good Taste" Designer Series Paper. It has so many great patterns that have that photo-realism look to them. Wood, stone, textiles, etc... It is a great collection of papers!

And with the Real Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and the Real Red/Whisper White stitched trim from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack topping it off with a cute little bow, my card is all done!

I did a little watercoloring on this little snowman card over the weekend. He made a fun Christmas card, with some cute falling snowflakes too! He's a happy, little snowman, out dancing in the evergreen forest!
