I fell into a package of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper

 These CASED cards are the results. Adding the Painted Lavender and Perennial Postage bundles adds to the beauty of the cards. 






Have a Wonderful Monday

Highland Arch and a Dutch Door

A cute and easy card layout that can be done in your favorite color, with any greeting. You need an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. In your paper trimmer, line the right edge at 2 3/4 and cut down to the score line. Take out of the trimmer and cut up the score line to the top of the card. Take the cutout piece and run it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with and Embossing Folder and the Specialty Plate. I used the March Online Exclusive Paradise Garden Folder. Attach the embossed piece to the inside of the card base. Adhere a Basic White piece to the lower inside, to write your message.  Die cut an arch from Everyday Arches, stamp the large branch image toward the top of the arch, reink and stamp again at the bottom, just to fill in the area. Give a second to dry, then run through the Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine with an embossing folder. I use a favorite Timeworn Type; you can use any you have in your inventory.  Stamp the greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black and fus...

A Horizontal Front Flap card

Fold and gently burnish the left score line and make a tic mark as indicated. Now fold and burnish the top score line the same way, making the tic mark as indicated. To create the diagonal score, match the tic marks up on your paper trimmer and make the score, fold and burnish To create the fold, push the diagonal fold in and create the square on the top of the Designer Series Paper. Adhere this to the Daffodil Delight Card base. Now for the fun part, the stamping. On the Basic White square, stamp the greeting in Old Olive ink. To create the flower stems, use the "tail end" of the greeting stamp  Create seven stems of different lengths with Old Olive ink. Stamp the flowe...
