I fell in love  with the Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes as soon as I saw them.  They are available in both Gold and Silver which make elegant card bases for those special cards you create.  Wedding cards will especially lovely with a Foil Edged Card Base.

We made this card at my Card Classes this week.  It was well received, for sure!

Stamp Set – Humming Along
Cardstock – Vellum Cardstock, Gold Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes
Ink -Versamark
Accessories – Embossing Buddy, Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Balmy Blue, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers , Mini Glue Dots

*** Stamping Tips

  • Emboss first, then color the bird.  When you color on the backside of the vellum, you will achieve  a softer look.
  • I attached the Vellum Cardstock layer to the card base using Mini Glue Dots – place them behind the colored area on the humming bird so the adhesive doesn’t show through the vellum.

I’m in love with the beautiful edge cut by one of the dies in the Wonderful Floral Framelits set.  So elegant!

Don’t be put off by the sympathy sentiment on this card.  Just change the sentiment and this design would make a perfect birthday or wedding card too!

Stamp Set – Wonderful Romance, Flourishing Phrases

Don’t wait to order favorite items in the Occasions Catalog.  Some things have sold out and not all of them will be re-stocked.

Due to complications with Stampin’ Up!’s  die supplier, the Wonderful Floral Framelits set is no longer available.  IF the item carries over into the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, you will be able to order the framelits again when the new catalog is released in June.

The Delicate Lace Edgelits would create a wonderful edge for the card above.

Sometimes you have to be flexible and be willing to use a substitute product if your first choice isn’t available.  Be creative!

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Stamping!

The first thing I think about celebrating is a birthday.  But this year, lots of people would love to celebrate the coming of spring and the end of winter.  What a winter it has been for people, not only in my home state of Wisconsin, but in many other areas of the country.

I’m not in control of the weather, so let’s focus on something I am in control of ……..here is my project.   I used the new Geared Up Garage stamp set which was released in the 2019 Occasions Catalog.  It’s been a great “go to” stamp set for making  masculine themed cards recently.
