Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Anniversary!

Posted on May 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My card for today is an anniversary card for a special couple I know. I won't mention their names because I don't want them to know it's for them until they receive it in the mail, so shhhhh!

I used the retiring Flourishing Phrases again with Pretty Peacock card stock and ink to create this elegant anniversary card. I stamped the large flourish on both the center and edges of the Shimmery White card stock, as well as the envelope front and flap.

I cut the greeting with an Ornate Frames die, then traced the outside of the die on Pretty Peacock card stock. I cut with Paper Snips along the inside edge of the drawn line to create the Pretty Peacock mat. I added three Noble Peacock Rhinestones, which are also retiring, for some sparkle.

I love these two sentiments together! Even though there isn't an anniversary greeting in Flourishing Phrases, I will write it in before I mail it!

I solved the problem of stamping the two separate sentiments evenly by stamping the lower one at a whimsical angle. You can never go wrong with part of the sentiment at an angle to keep from having to make them stamp evenly.

Stampin’ Up! Big News for Nancy & John!

Posted on June 6, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a special card for a special couple. Nancy & John are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary today! The family decided to surprise them with a "card shower".

I'm trying to make 2 of every card I create so I can show how easy it is to turn a sketch for two different looks. I mailed the "portrait" layout and kept the "landscape" for my display.

This couple's wedding fulfilled a little-girl dream; I was their flower girl.I can't find a picture right now, so imagine a skinny pixie-haired five year old, white eyelet dress, full skirt, pink sash, white gloves and lacy anklets. That's me!

Everything is heat embossed with gold powder, inside & out. After I embossed the greeting, I cut it out with one of the Ovals Framelits.

A tip: When embossing the Gold Foil Sheet, you MUST rub it with the Embossing Buddy FIRST!

Inside I cut an extra 5 1/4" x 4" layer of Very Vanilla to emboss the sentiment and the Blended Bloom flowers. Very Vanilla is a lighter-weight card stock; with three layers on the front this card would not have stood up. Adding the second layer makes it sturdier.

I lined the envelope with Gold Fancy Foil Vellum.

Another tip: A card with no bumpy embellishments does not extra postage!
