OXIDIZED DELICATE FLOREST

Today, I'm using a couple more of the interesting dies from the Delicate Forest Bundle.  

Notice the little leaf stems that peek out from the top of the sentiment.  The Delicate Forest Dies include 4 leafy stem dies, but two of them are attached to a lower "border" that makes them exceptionally easy to adhere to the back of sentiments.  They are very similar to the type of dies that are in the Timeless Arrangements Dies.  Whoever at Stampin' Up! that came up with this idea for dies is genius!  It makes it so easy to layer and position them.  Check out the Product List below to better understand these dies.  My card uses the smaller of the two.

At my February Stamp Camp, I had one card that used the colors, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock and Parakeet Party.  Several of the class participants commented how much they liked that color combination.  So, since it was so popular at my in-person class, I decided that I would make another card using this color combination.

To add a bit of shimmer and shine I combined these 3 colors with the Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper.  I love this Specialty Paper, particularly this version that combines the Oxidized Copper with Pretty Peacock.  But then, I suspect everything looks a little prettier with Pretty Peacock.  Are you as happy as I am that Stampin' Up! brought this color back last spring with the color refresh?

This was a very easy card, and I love the layout.  I came across the layout on Pinterest. It took a bit of trial and error to figure out the sizes that I thought looked best, but now that I have figured that out, I think it is going to become one of my go-to layouts.

If you like the layout, use this link to download a tutorial.  It has all the dimensions so you don't have to figure out the sizes for yourself!  You're welcome!  LOL

To decorate the inside of the card, I used my go-to solution -- a decorative strip adhered to one side of the Basic White layer.  It's simple.  It's pretty, and it ties the inside to the front of the card.

DELICATE FOREST MEADOW

As I indicated yesterday one of the reasons I was immediately attracted to this Delicate Forest Bundle was because of the beautiful dies.  Today's card uses the largest of the dies.


I created the die cut from a piece of the gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Doesn't this die look like a trellis covered with pretty greenery? The beautiful scene on the other side of the trellis is also from the Meandering Meadows DSP.  I think it looks like the perfect place for a picnic, doesn't it?


This stamp set also includes beautiful sentiments of encouragement, and the dies include dies that perfectly die cut the sentiments.  This sentiment seems perfect for someone who has been going through a difficult time, but they are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.


When you have designer series paper that is so pretty, you don't really need much else.  The only embellishments I added were the little gold bow and a gold Blooming Pearl on the sentiment.  This was an extremely quick and easy card to make, but I think it will make someone smile.


For the inside of the card I added a strip of the pretty scenic DSP that was leftover once I cut the piece for the card front.  This leaves lots of room to either add a sentiment later or to write a personal note.
