The Details of My Crabulous Wishes Tag

To be honest I never heard of an Axolotl before and had to google it. Lol! It’s amazing all the colours that they come in!

Once, I figured that out, I used my Copic markers to colour the image in bright colours. Then, I used my Brother Scan N Cut Machine to cut her out. I added Glossy accents to both her and the crab’s eyes and Wink of Stella to her gills/fin.

Next, I die cut my tag in Starry Sky card stock and the DSP with the Intricatags #29 Dies by Aall & Create. I just bought these dies, and it was nice to give them a whirl.

Then, I die cut some Old Olive Vellum into seaweed and a shell from the Build an Ocean Die Set by Whimsy. I blended some Crumb Cake Ink onto the shell to make the embossing stand out.

The sentiment was cut apart and matted with Call me Clover card stock.

To make my tag, I used one of the punches from the Hole Punch Assortment and threaded my Melon Mambo Ribbon through the hole. To hold the ribbon in place, I threaded a shell charm that I had in my stash. Perfect for my theme!

The finishing touch was some clear dew drops to mimic air bubbles.

Faux-Step In Colors Card

May 6, 2026 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! To celebrate the new May-August Catalogue Launch, I am sharing my Faux-Step In Colors Card using the new 2026-28 In Colors and A Rainbow of Thanks Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Faux-Step In Colors Card

For my card, I wanted to celebrate the new Catty. So, what better way than to make a card using the new In Colors! I tried a couple of different card styles and decided on a faux centre-step card so that I could fit in all the paint brushes.

Side View of Card — Side View of My Faux-Step Card

A Rainbow of Thanks Stamp Set was perfect way to display the colours with a paint brush for each colour. I stamped the brush handles in Basic Gray since I wanted the colours to stand out. Then, I stamped the In Color swooshes and rollers. Once that was done, I coloured the handles with my Crumb Cake Blends. Note: To fit all my brushes, I had to make a slight width change to the Hydrangea Hue (from 3” to 3-5/8”) in regard to the template below.

Since my card was all about the love for the new In Colors, I used the Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder for my two steps. You could use DSP, but I didn’t have any and this was my solution.

Next, I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray and added a Barely Blush mat.

As a finishing, I added matching In Color Dots beside the corresponding colour and a Hydrangea Hue ribbon along the bottom step. The knot on one side of the ribbon helped to balance off the sentiment.

Supplies:

Stamps: A Rainbow of Thanks Stamp Set (167233)

Inks: Barely Blush Classic Stampin’ Pad (167678), Crisp Cantaloupe Classic Stampin’ Pad (167680), Golden Glow Classic Stampin’ Pad (167676), Peaceful Pine Classic Stampin’ Pad (167679), Hydrangea Hue Classic Stampin’ Pad (167677), Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad (149165)

Paper: Basic White (159276), Barely Blush (167689), Peaceful Pine (167691), Hydrangea Hue (167687)

Accessories: Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder (167071), 2026–2028 In Color Dots (167546), Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack (154882), Hydrangea Hue 3/8” Bordered Ribbon (167549)

My Rubik’s Cube Card

April 29, 2026 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here again. I am sharing My Rubik’s Cube Card that I sent to a teenage who has a collection of Rubik’s Cubes. I saw this fun pop-up card that a fellow demonstrator/friend, Laura Seki, made and thought I would use the pop-up mechanism but make the card my own by using some digital papers that I found online.

The Details of My Rubik’s Cube Card

For my card, I found a Rubik’s Cube party invite on Etsy, but I only wanted some of the graphic elements. So, I pulled it into Canva and deleted all the text from the invite. Then I scaled it to the size I wanted and printed 2 copies. I also printed out a scaled down colourful background to use for the front and for the inside.

Next, I used my paper trimmer to trim the colourful border off the invite. This I layered onto the colourful background. For the final print out, I used my paper snips to trim around the exploding Rubik’s cubes. These were popped up with Black dimensionals.

Close Up of Cube on Front — Close Up of Cube

All this was layered onto a Blueberry Bushel mat and then onto the Basic Black card front.

To decorate the front, I added the name of the teenager in similar colours to the Rubik’s Cube in the print outs. These were popped up with Foam Adhesive Sheets.

The sentiment was stamped in Black and die cut out using the largest flag from the Stylished Shapes Dies. One end was snipped down, and the other end was tucked under the top Cube.

The finishing touch was to add a scattering of matching coloured rhinestones.

Inside of My Rubik’s Cube Card

For the inside, I used the directions that Laura showed on her Facebook Group Page to create my Cube. I included the measurements for the scoring below. Next, I added my squares to the cube positioning them as best I could to create a mixed-up cube instead of a solved one. So, I had lots of coloured squares to add. Lol! I added adhesive to the top and bottom section to secure it to the card.

Then I stamped the sentiment and punched it out. I layered it on a piece of colourful background with a Blueberry Bushel mat at the top of the card.

For the bottom of the card, I used my computer to create a custom sentiment with one of the cube graphics.

Just a Note Cards

April 17, 2026 4 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Just a Note Cards using the Fragrant Layers Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I thought pairing this Bundle with the Splash of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper would create fresh spring like cards. Perfect for this time of year!

The Details of My Just a Note Cards

For my cards, I decided to use the piece of the Splash of Sparkles DSP with the blocks of colour. From this, I pulled my colour scheme for each card creating 4 cards in total, but I could have made more. Lol!

Green and Blue Card — Shy Shamrock, Balmy Blue and Pool Party Card

First, I created a Basic White frame with the gorgeous detailed floral die. From that I popped up a layer of the DSP behind it. Next, I layered Layer 2 and then Layer 3 behind my focal point. This was layered onto an embossed Basic White and finally onto the card base.

Pink and Orange Card — Pretty in Pink, Timid Tiger and Bubble Bath Card

Using the DSP to pick out my sentiment colour, I embossed it in white and die cut with the banner die. A white flower with matching coloured leaves directs the eye to the sentiment.

Yellow and Blue Card — Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Lemon Lolly Card

To finish off my cards, I added a scattering of Pearlized Faceted Circles or Easter Assortment Embellishments depending on the colours used on the cards.

Instructions for My Just a Note Cards:

Cut and score card base
Die cut the Floral Detail on Basic White
Die cut the flowers in Basic White
Dry Emboss the Basic White with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder
Die cut the leaves in Daffodil Delight (2), Pool Party and Pretty in Pink
Stamp and heat emboss the sentiment on Timid Tiger (2), Shy Shamrock and Pool Party

My Cruising By Card

April 14, 2026 10 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Cruising By Card using the Speedometer Etched Dies from Spellbinders and the Gears & Textures Bundle by Stampin’ Up! A good friend’s birthday was yesterday and there has been a lot of interest in the card that I gave him. So, I decided to create a post with details for those who have asked.

Our friend loves to take his Corvette cars to the track and race them around. So, when I saw the Speedometer Etched Dies and matching Cruisin’ By Sentiments Stamp & Die Set, I knew they would be perfect for his birthday card.

The Details of My Cruising By Card

I decided to reuse an old card front that has some cool metallic embossing on it. I had been saving this for years in my stash for the perfect card. It reminded me of the retired SU Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder. Since I was reusing this old card front, I decided to create a Centre-Step card where I could work around the glue that was on the front.

Once that was decided, I die cut all the bits to build my odometer and die cut the stamped the sentiments.

Then, I die cut the different gears sizes using the Gears and Textures Dies and the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper by Stampin’ Up!

Next, I adhered the embossed panels to my card base, as well as the bottom panel which used a strip of the Classic Garage Designer Series Paper.

I popped up my odometer and tucked in the gears around it on the different panels. I love how by adding the gears to the side panels, it created dimension. For the top two gears, I added spinning nail charms to make them interactive.

Since there is so much going on with the card front, the only embellishment that I added was a retired key trinket beside the sentiment. How fun is that!

As a finishing touch, I stamped a couple of elements from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set in Basic Gray on the inside along with the sentiment in Black. I matted the stamped Basic White with Basic Black and adhered them down.

2026-28 In Color Bookmarks

April 7, 2026 6 Comments

Every year I am asked to create a Stampin’ Up! In Color bookmark file. So, I am sharing my 2026-28 In Color Bookmarks using my PDF file that I created for this purpose. When you download the PDF file print it with the fit to page setting in the Adobe Acrobat on Basic White. All files are at the end of this post including a French version, as well as the files for the 2025-27 In Colors from last year.

Inks/Card Stock Bookmarks

For these bookmarks, I used four different bundles including Cutest Crew Bundle, Fragrant Layers Bundle, Sunset Coast Bundle (Sneak Peek) and Capturing Smiles Bundle, I had such a fun time making my bookmarks that I found I just kept going! Lol! Though I love the puppy version the best!

I used the 2026–2028 In Colour Butterflies to decorate the Puppy version almost like the puppies are chasing them. For the other bookmarks, I used the 2026–2028 In Color Dots to decorate them.

Stampin’ Blends/Card Stock Bookmarks

For my next bookmark, I stamped the bird from the Cutest Crew in the new Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad and coloured them with my Blends. A die cut bird in a matching colour was centred over the stamp image. To decorate them, I added matching 2026–2028 In Color Dots.

Next, I stamped the large floral from the Fragrant Layers in Crumb Cake to create a no-lines effect. I wanted to create a soft subtle look allowing the colours to shine through. For these bookmark, I trimmed down the large stamped floral to 1-3/8” wide making sure that I centred over the flowers. Once I had the width, I trimmed each piece in sequence at ¾” tall.

I matted them with 7/8”x 1 ½” mats in matching colours and added a matching die cut flower and butterfly.

Easy Card Stock Bookmarks

For my last set of bookmarks, I cut a ½” x 11” strip of card stock for each colour. I glue them directly to the print out before cropping the bookmarks down. I them cut them apart creating 5 bookmarks. Fast and easy!

Supplies:

Stamps: Cutest Crew Bundle (167149), Fragrant Layers Bundle (167155), Sunset Coast Bundle (167781), Capturing Smiles Bundle (167133)

Paper: Basic White (159276), Barely Blush (167689), Crisp Cantaloupe (167693), Golden Glow (167685), Peaceful Pine (167691), Hydrangea Hue (167687)

My Bunny Wishes Card

April 2, 2026 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Bunny Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Daisy Carrot Bunny Bouquet Bundle. I used the sentiment “Some Bunny is Thinking of You” from Bunny Daffodil Bundle for my card.

This Bundle includes 6 images:

Title 3: Daisy Carrot Bunny Bouquet LEFT (JPG format)
Title 4: Daisy Carrot Bunny Bouquet Right (JPG format)
Title 5 & 6: Sentiment Thoughts of You Make Me Smile (JPG and PNG format)

The Details of My Bunny Wishes Card

Easter is this weekend, but not everyone celebrates it. So, I thought I would make a versatile card that can be used for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday or a thinking of you.

First, I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers to match the Bunnies & Blooms papers. Such pretty papers with their muted colours and Easter themes! To add to the muted colours, I brushed some Vintage Photo Ink on the edges of the papers and the sentiment which was die cut with the largest flag die from the Stylish Shapes.

Next, I layered him onto a die cut Old Olive Daisy Circle. Perfect to mirror the daisies in the bunny’s arms! A die cut circle with eggs on it from the paper pack was layered behind him. The “Celebrate” sticker was added with a puffy heart to finish off my focal point.

A couple of puffy stickers on either side of my sentiment tied in the muted colour scheme and added interest.

Standing Double Z-Fold Card

March 27, 2026 4 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Standing Double Z-Fold Card using the Celebrate Spring February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 7 alternative cards including 6 fun folds and one regular card. I have included a photo of all the cards at the end of this post and links for more details.

The Details of My Standing Double Z-Fold Card

For this alternative card using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a stand up double z-fold card. Again, this is another card that I haven’t made before but thought it would be fun to use the floral oval for it. Plus, it looked like an Easter Egg when closed!

Card Laid Flat — My Standing Double Z-Fold Card

I used from the Arches Dies the largest one for the Shy Shamrock base, third largest one for the Lemon Lolly and the fifth largest one for the Pretty in Pink. I watched a video by Jill Casteel Blanchett from Green Thumb Stampers to help with the process.

For the Shy Shamrock base, I folded it in half and used the Arch Die to cut it out, but I made sure that the straight bottom of the die was hanging off the card stock. This kept them attached. Then, I folded the bottom arch in half to create my first z-fold.

Next, I die cut the Lemon Lolly arches and adhered them to the Sky Shamrock card base.

For the Pretty in Pink piece, I did the same as the Shy Shamrock, but I made sure that the arch part was where the die hung off the edge of the card stock. Then, I turned the die around and ran the card stock through the arch die only at the top to get a finished arch. I folded one of the arches in half to create the second z-fold.

A Basic White arch was added to the back of the card to write a message.

All that was left was to add the twine, ephemera and sequins to my card.

Supplies for my Standing Double Z-Fold Card:

Stamps: February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit

Inks: Shy Shamrock (In Kit)

Paper: Shy Shamrock (163795), Lemon Lolly (161720), Pretty in Pink (163793), Basic White (166780)

My WV Alternative Card

March 25, 2026 6 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My WV Alternative Card using the Celebrate Spring February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 7 alternative cards including 6 fun folds and one regular card. I have included a photo of all the cards at the end of this post and links for more details.

The Details of My WV Alternative Card

For this alternative card, I wanted to use the card base with the square and build it up which led me to a WV fun fold. I haven’t made this fold before, but I thought it would work perfectly for my card!

A Fun Fold Easter Card — The Front of My WV Fun Fold Card

First, I scored my Sky Shamrock card base according to the measurements below. Then, I trimmed apart my green card from the Kit keeping the Square Printed Front for inside and two strips from the back of the card for the panels. I embossed these two strips and two Basic White strips with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder and adhered them to my card base. For the Square Printed Front, I trimmed it down on all sides so that the square remained in the centre.

Next, I stamped the sentiments in Shy Shamrock on two of the square sentiment tags that come in the Kit. I used a retired stamp set for the front since I wanted a religious sentiment and stamped Happy Easter inside from the stamp set in the Kit. Since the square sentiment tags are not exactly square, I had to create a small custom card for them. Lol!

For the small card, I centred it in the Square Printed Front on the card base before adding glue. Then, I lifted the front of the smaller card added glue where I needed it and closed the left flaps to adhere it in place. Next, I added glue to the other side of the small card, closed all the flaps and adhered it to the front of my card base. This allowed me to have my card positioned perfectly when the card was closed.

All that was left was to add the ephemera and sequins.

Centre-Step Alternative Card

March 24, 2026 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Centre-Step Alternative Card using the Celebrate Spring February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 7 alternative cards including 6 fun folds and one regular card. There is a photo of all the cards at the end of this post.

The Details of My Centre-Step Alternative Card

For this alternative card using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made my favourite fun fold, a centre-step! I have included a downloadable Centre-Step Template at the end of this post.

I had a piece of the back of the Balmy Blue card base left that was the perfect size for my centre panel. With the basket in place, you did not notice the missing flowers. So, instead, I added the flowers to the side panels by trimming down the card front.

For the bottom panel, I used part of the envelope flap and decided to use it to add visual interest.

All the panels were matted in Basic White to tie in the sentiment piece. The sentiment was stamped in the Sky Shamrock ink provided.

All that was left was to add the basket with the eggs, daffodils, sequins and twine.

Supplies for My Centre-Step Alternative Card:

Stamps: February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit

Inks: Shy Shamrock (In Kit)

Paper: Shy Shamrock (163795), Basic White (166780)

Accessories: Twine (in Kit), Sequin embellishments (In Kit), Stampin’ Dimensionals (In Kit), Paper Trimmer (152392), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Seal (152813)

Secret Slider Alternative Card

March 23, 2026 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Secret Slider Alternative Card using the Celebrate Spring February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 7 alternative cards including 6 fun folds and one regular card. I have included all the other cards at the end of this post.

The Details of My Secret Slider Alternative Card

I have been wanting to create a secret slider card and decided that the basket would make a great focal point on the left. Of course, I just had to have the bunny in the basket holding an Easter egg! He filled in the space nicely!

A Spring Card with a bunny in a basket — Front of My Secret Slider Card

I stamped the grass in Shy Shamrock on a leftover piece of Balmy Blue card front even though you can’t see the flowers. Then, I stamped the egg and the sentiment tag provided.

Once the stamping was done, it was time to build the card. So, I used one of the Lemon Lolly card bases and cut it apart to create my card background. You could use a whole Lemon Lolly card base, but I wanted to use part of it for my mat on the front.

Then, I scored the Sky Shamrock card stock according to the measurements below.

I decorated the front flap with the Lemon Lolly mat followed by the Balmy Blue. Then, I added my focal point of the basket with the bunny.

For the inside, I used the Easter Joy DSP to decorate the flaps. Then, I scored a leftover Balmy Blue card back according to the measurements below. I stamped the sentiment on the Basic White and added it to the Balmy Blue. The small flap was adhered to the left panel near the fold. Once that was done the right panel was adhered at the top and bottom with the sentiment piece slotted in between.

The finishing touch was to add the daffodils, twine and sequins to the front of my card.

Supplies for My Secret Slider Alternative Card:

Stamps: February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit

Inks: Shy Shamrock (In Kit)

Paper: Basic White (166780), Shy Shamrock (163795), Lemon Lolly Card Base (In Kit), Balmy Blue Card Base (In Kit), Easter Joy 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (166939)

My Other Alternative Cards

Two cards I created using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit were easel cards. I scored the fronts at 2-1/8”. For one, I followed the instructions and just added a strip of envelop with a Shy Shamrock mat for the inside stopper. For the other, I used the floral oval and added some stamped Easter eggs in matching colours.

For another alternative card, I create a regular card using the leftover pieces from the other cards. I used the Arch Dies to create a fun focal point that allowed the Easter eggs to be “hidden” amongst the grass and flowers. For the extra eggs, I used the leftover frame from the punched out eggs to trace the outline of the eggs and fussy cut them out. I used a piece of leftover envelope flap for one, Lemon Lolly card stock for the other and a stamped egg from the Kit for the final one.

My It’s Your Day Card

March 12, 2026 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My It’s Your Day Card using the Fragrant Layers Bundle by Stampin’ Up! Wouldn’t this card be perfect for Mother’s Day, a birthday or congratulations!

The Details of My It’s Your Day Card

I wanted a fast card that was special and decided to use a card sketch from the 2024/25 Annual Catalogue and added my own spin to it. Can you figure out which one I used? Lol! Sketches are a great way to inspire you!

I love the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper with its metallic gold foil details. So, as inspiration, I went with gold embossing of the floral stamp and then stamped Fresh Freesia for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves.

To match the gold embossing, I added a Gold Foil mat behind the focal point. In addition to this, I gold embossed the sentiment. Lots of sparkle for a special card!

Instead of a bow like in the sketch, I added a die cut flower with a large Pearlized Faceted Circle in its centre. The other thing that I added was an embossed Basic White panel using my favourite Eyelet Embossing Folder.

A scattering of Tiny Bee Trinkets added even more sparkle to my card.

Instructions for My It’s Your Day Card:

Cut and score card base
Stamp and heat emboss the flowers on the Basic White
Stamp the flowers with Fresh Fresia and leaves with Old Olive
Mat onto Gold Foil
Heat emboss the sentiment on a scrap of Basic White
Die cut it and add a die cut Old Olive mat
Emboss the Basic White panel with the Eyelet Embossing Folder and adhere to Old Olive card base
Adhere the DSP at an angle to the card base
Pop up the focal point at an angle
Pop up the sentiment so that it is straight
Add the Fresh Fresia flower and add Pearlized Faceted Circle to the center
Add Tiny Bee Trinkets

My Bee-cuz I Said Hi!

March 5, 2026 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Bee-cuz I Said Hi! as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Bailey And Bee/Goodnight Benji Bundle.

This Bundle includes 21 images:

The Details of My Bee-cuz I Said Hi!

I loved this cutie and had fun colouring him with my Copic markers! In fact, I used a technique where I added some Colourless Blender to an old towel and then dab it to the coloured image. This created a textured effect that looked like fur. I just needed to make sure I didn’t over saturate the towel and press too long. Otherwise the ink might bleed out of the lines.

Once he was coloured, I used a stencil, Pool Party Ink and my Blending Brushed to create clouds around him. For the bee’s flight pattern, I used a Clear Star Gelly Roll pen to make it shimmer. Then, I die cut him out with layered Stitched Dies with a Pool Party Mat.

The Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper was perfect for my bee theme. And I loved the bright colours! Reminded me that Spring is just around the corner!

The printed sentiment was trimmed down and matted with a Petunia Pop mat. To balance the sentiment, I added some stitched honeycomb dies in the opposite corner with another one behind the sentiment.

A finishing touch was a scattering of Mini Bee Trinkets.

The Details of My Snowy Wishes Card

I had coloured the seals twice a while back and finally got my second colouring on a card! Lol! I used the same techniques to colour these seals as I did with the other ones. They were coloured with very few Copic markers leaving a lot of uncoloured white space. Really, I just coloured the shadows for them and the ice flow and used my Colorless Blender to soften the edges of the colour to the white.

For my card, I decided to go with a slimline card so that I could use the Whimsy iceberg paper. This card is such a fast and easy card to create! I used White Velvet paper to create the background of the Slimline Connected Bubbles. This helped to add interest to my card.

The sentiment was stamped on white and die cut with a stitched flag die.

A finishing touch was a scattering of silver glimmery snowflakes to add sparkle.

My Floral Bridge Card

February 25, 2026 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Floral Bridge Card using the Fragrant Layers Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I decide to make a triple panel bridge card to show off the beautiful die cuts from the Fragrant Layers Dies. Don’t you just love it when the card is closed, and the insides are hidden creating a nice surprise as the recipient opens the card!

The Details of My Floral Bridge Card

For my card, I wanted to showcase the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper with its metallic gold foil details.

First, I created the card base and cut it according to the measurements below. I went with larger side panels since I didn’t want too much space on either side of my central die cut panel. Plus, the “floral bridge” limited how wide it could be too.

I thought it would be a fun bridge if I used the largest solid floral to join my two side panels! Old Olive leaves tie in the DSP colours and added some interest.

The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive and die cut using the flag in the die set.

For the central panel, I used the background floral die and layered the Lovely & Beautiful DSP behind it. Love that it peeks through!

For the inside, I love how the gold accents on the DSP are revealed as you open the card! A Basic White message piece was stamped in Peach Pie and added to the card base.

A scattering of Pearlized Faceted Circles added some sparkle to the front.

Instructions:

Score and cut card base.
Die cut the central panel with the background floral die
Embossed the Basic White panels with the Eyelet Embossing Folder and adhere to side panels
Using a strong glue, like liquid glue, adhere the Peach Pie floral die cut to side panels. Tuck in Old Olive leaves.
Stamp sentiment and pop up
Adhere the DSP to the back of the central panel
Stamp flower on inside Basic White piece and adhere making sure to line up with the DSP
Add embellishments

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Fragrant Layers Bundle (167155)

Inks: Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad (147090), Peach Pie Classic Stampin’ Pad (163810)
