I created this beautiful slimline card with the Stampin’ Up Thoughtful Expressions bundle and Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper (DSP). This card was very easy to make. I layered three of the label dies and cut them so that it would be aligned with the right side of the card. To add some pizzaz to the card, I stamped the dainty flower image in Wild Wheat, colored the little flowers with the light Bubble Bath blend marker, and then die cut it out using the coordinating die. I layered the dainty flower on top of a Bubble Bath flower die cut shape. Then I added a linen thread bow to the dainty flower image. Lastly, I added three Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the sentiment label.

Spring Thinking of You Card

churiejohnson

This week I decided to have some fun with the Stampin’ Up Excellent Eggs bundle. For this first card I used the largest egg die to create the card base. To create the card base, I took a 6″ x 4″ piece of thick white cardstock and scored and folded it at 3″. Then I placed the egg die on top of the white cardstock (leaving part of the egg die off the folded edge of the thick white cardstock). Lastly, I die cut it out using the Stampin’ Up Cut and Emboss Machine. After creating the card base, I die cut an egg from Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Azure Afternoon, and Basic White cardstock. The Pool Party egg, I decided to add some texture to it by embossing it with the polka dot embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders pack. I then die cut various designer shapes for the eggs using the Excellent Eggs dies and decorated the Pool Party Egg. I stamped the Thinking of You sentiment using the Azure Afternoon stamp pad onto the white decorative piece I created with the dies. Lastly, I adhered everything together. I decided to use Stampin’ Dimensionals to raise up the sentiment piece on the front of the card.

Color Combination:

For the inside of the card, I decided to adhere a Pool Party egg onto the card base to add some color.
