Take your paper crafts up a notch with Round We Go Die cuts and the Sketched Butterflies Bundle from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  You'll find the new Basic Beige Cardstock is a wonderful neutral to pair with Pretty in Pink and Crumb Cake paper accents.  Create rosette flowers using the Round We Go Dies.  Add leaves and flower accents from Country Flowers Dies.  Attach a spanner band using stitched square shapes from the Stylish Shape Dies along with Basic White Mattes and a centerpiece using a Pretty In Pink print from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper.  Layer your creation with Crumb Cake leaves and Pretty In Pink flowers from the Country Flowers Dies. Create a stitched circle sentiment label using Stylish Shape Dies, and stamp a sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink.  Accent the rosettes and flowers with Iridescent Pearls to complete your card.   Inspiration for today's card is from Demonstrator, Gail Ellis, Blue Rose Paper Treasures.



Thinking of You with Round we Go Bundle and Sketched Butterflies Bundle from Stampin' Up!

The basecard for today's card is Thick Basic White Cardstock. Then a Basic Beige matte layer, followed by another Basic White Cardstock layer dry embossed using the retired Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder, which is one of the embossing folder from the past Sale-A-Bration that you'll want to keep as a staple in your crafting collection.  

The spanning element is created using a 6" X 3" Basic White Cardstock base layered with a Basic Beige matte created using the largest stitched square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.  Next, a 2-1/2" X 2-1/2" Basic White Cardstock matte, and then a Pretty in Pink print from the Unbounded Beauty 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper pack die cut using the second-to-the largest stitched square from the the Stylish Shapes Die. 

Decorating the spanner piece are rosettes created using Crumb Cake 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper and Crumb Cake Cardstock using the  Crumb Cake leaves and Pretty In Pink Flowers were added using dies from the Country Flowers Dies.  A Basic White butterfly was added using a die cut from the Sketched butterflies Dies.  

Greeting card using Stampin' Up! Round We Go Dies and Sketched Butterflies Bundle
    To finish the card, a sentiment label of Basic White Cardstock was cut using the Stylish Shape Dies.  The Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set includes several heartfelt sentiments.  The sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake Ink.  The rosettes and flowers were accented with pearls from the Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels pack. 

     

    Using a common color theme across your cards helps spark creative ideas.
