Cheerful Daisies Stamped DSP for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights

 Hello Craftin' Friends!

Today in the craft room I was making a card to share with my Granny's Craftin' Cannucks Team. I challenged everyone to stamp their own Designer Series Paper and then make a card with it. As I was working, I decided to make a Thank You card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights Gallery. I hope you'll love the card and decide to vote for me to be in the Blog Hop at the end of the month!

As I was making the card, I had a little problem getting my DSP cut to the right size, so I had some extra boxes. There's a saying amongst stampers that there are no mistakes, only creative opportunities. So I took my cut pieces and added a couple to the inside of the card and one on the envelope. 

I had trouble getting a photo without shadow today in the craft room. My apologies for that, but what do you think of the idea of adding boxes inside the card and on the envelope? I have to admit that I love the look.

The gallery is available to see on this page. Please hop over and like my card!

Happy Crafting!

Kylie Bertucci Blog Highlights Thank You Card

 Hello Craftin' Friends!

Thanks to Kylie Bertucci for hosting the Blog Highlights Challenge. Today I'm sharing a beautiful tropical themed card using the Artfully Layered Suite of Products from Stampin' Up!'s January to June Mini Catalogue. There's just so much to love about this suite! I love the scalloped edge die which you can see as a layer in the sentiment strip. The sentiments stamp so beautifully with crisp lines . There's a great collection of stamps and dies to create a variety of foilage arrangements. I used one of the Vellum Layering Designs over some Pale Papaya Cardstock on the card front and then used one of the dies to add texture in the upper right corner. It's a great detail in person, although I found it difficult to catch with the camera. I also chose to add some 2021-2023 In Color Jewels and a sweet little bow in white Baker's Twine. 

Inside the card I added a sentiment from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set, as well small stamped leaves, and one larger leaf stamped and die cut.

I hope you love this card as much as I do. Please vote for my card so that I can participate in the Highlights Winners Blog later this month. Some of you eagle eyed designers may have noticed that this card is a quadrangle card. I used a 6 by 6 inch piece of the Artfully Composed DSP, and cut it into four pieces as shown in this previous video.  I will be offering the pdf tutorial for the 4 quadrangle cards to those new subscribers who sign up to receive my blog via email or sign up to receive my newsletters. You can subscribe to the blog on this page, or send me a message on my Craftin' Granny's Facebook Page to sign up to receive newsletters from me.
