Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Flirty Flamingo card – 5¼” by 3½”
Hues of Happiness dsp – 5⅛” by 3⅜”

I embossed the smaller Basic White panel using the ‘In the Clouds’ Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Evening Evergreen layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The panel was then added to the Balmy Blue card front using the same liquid glue.

The three largest birds were stamped in Evening Evergreen ink onto scrap Basic White card. I used the Balmy Blue, Pale Papaya, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam ink to add colour to the birds. They were die cut using the Birdhouse Dies.

Customer thank you cards made using the Rings of Love designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up!

Rings of Love card for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Kylie Bertucci Demonstrator Blog Hop where we are sharing thank you cards made for our customers. I have used the gorgeous Rings of Love Designer Series Paper.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Rings of Love thank you card, you will need:

Thick Very Vanilla card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜ by 3⅝”
Distressed Gold card – 3½” by 3½”
Rings of Love designer Series Paper (dsp)

Like many others I used to hate fussy cutting with a passion. I have however, discovered that the more you do it the easier it becomes and I spent a happy evening fussy cutting leaves and acorns from the sheets of the Rings of Love dsp.

I nested two of the Stylish Shapes Dies together and used them to die cut a circle frame from the Distressed Gold card.

The sentiment from the Cup of Tea Stamp set, was stamped onto the panel of Very Vanilla in Soft Suede ink and the distressed gold frame added on Mini Dimensionals. The overhanging edge was trimmed off.
