Thankful Thursday with Forever Lovely

 You Are Loved Card Tutorial

Time for some #simplestamping today.  These Whisper White Narrow Note Cards and Envelops are the perfect size for the large floral stamp in the Forever Lovely Stamp Set.  With just a few colors of ink, you can be stamping tons of different cards in different styles.

Tip: when purchasing products, start with a stamp set or paper you like a lot.  Stampin' Up! coordinates products really well, so purchasing colors of ink that are in the Designer Series Paper you want, or cardstock that goes with it as well are a great way to be sure your supplies can be used over and over again.  When it all works together, the possibilities are endless!

Thankful Thursday

This last week has been a tough one for my family at home.  A lot of changes with a new house and some things crept up that definitely require love and attention.  I am so thankful for my friends and family who support without judgement.  Having support is so important and all of you give me reminders of what's important and how I want to impact the lives of other as well.  Thank you!

Product of the Week: Forever Lovely Stamp Set

The Forever Lovely Stamp Set is a great Valentine's stamp set, but you will find yourself coming back to it over and over again.  The floral images are perfect for a celebration of love, but can be used for so many more occasions beyond.  The sentiments are equally as useful for Valentine's Day and other occasions as well.  There are a variety of sizes with the sentiments too, so you can use this set for small projects and larger ones with ease.  The large floral stamp coordinates with the foliage stamp as well, creating a perfect bouquet.  And because it is photopolymer, it is easy to align when stamping and super fun to create with!

WOW Wednesday With Forever Lovely

 Forever In Love Card Tutorial

I can't ignore the brilliant Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies that coordinate with the Forever Lovely Stamp Set.  And when purchased as a bundle, you'll save 10%!  These dies are perfectly coordinated with the stamps, allowing you to create layers upon layers upon layers.  Images of gorgeous wedding invitations come to mind when I see samples from this set!  But Stampin' Up! made is so easy to use and design with that you'll be coming back to this set all the time to create for so many occasions, not just Valentine's Day.

As always, full tutorial is below, but be sure to check out my Facebook page this weekend, because I'll be doing a live tutorial for you with this card!

 Forever In Love Card Tutorial

Forever Lovely Stamp Set

Measurements:

Base: Whisper White Thick Cardstock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score and fold at 2 1/8" on each end
(gate fold, see Image 1)
Layer 1: Whisper White Cardstock, 5 12/" x 4"
Layer 2: Cut 2 pieces, All My Love Designer Series Paper (small dots), 5 1/2" x 2"
Layer 3: Whisper White Cardstock, 2" x 1 1/4"

Embellishment: Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon

Instructions:

1.  Stamp "I'll Love You Until..." on Layer 3 in Lovely Lipstick Ink.  Use the two corner dot dies with Big Shot on the top left and bottom right corners to add the dot detail to Layer 3.

2.  With Big Shot, use large floral edgelit die on Layer 1 on the length.  It won't cut out completely, but it will be close.  Once die cut, take to your Stampin Trimmer and cut each end off straight to the edge of the floral die.

3.  Adhere one piece of Layer 2 to the Base on the bottom front panel about 1/8" from fold.  Adhere the other piece of Layer 2 onto Layer 1 with about 1/8" of Layer 1 showing on the edge that is not die cut.

4.  Wrap length of Tulle Ribbon around Layers 1 and 2, centered on Layer 2, and adhere to back side using Mini Glue Dots.  Use another length of Tulle Ribbon to tie a bow in about the middle of the Tulle Ribbon wrapped on the Layers.

5. Adhere Layer 1 to Base on top side, lining up straight edge with the fold of the Base.  Die cut should overlap so that it is completely on top of the bottom front panel of the Base. (Image 2 below shows from inside of card to help you adhere it correctly)

6.  Adhere Layer 3 on top of the Tulle Ribbon, to the right of the bow using Dimensionals.
