• Take a full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" Cardstock (CS) and cut to 4 1/4" x 11". 

• On the 11" side, SCORE at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" 

• Cut 2 pieces of CS at 2 3/4" x 4 1/4 

• Cut 1 piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) at 5 1/4" x 4". (this piece will be glued to the inside of your card

• Cut 1 piece of co-ordinating DSP at 2 1/2" x 4" 

• Cut 1 piece of Whisper White at 2 1/2" x 4" 

• Before you start assembling, take one of your Round Punches (I used the 1 3/4") and punch out a half circle out of the end of your CS where you scored at 2 3/4"

Prized Peony Card #1

I love flowers!  Especially these beautiful Peonies.  I used Gray Granite and Petal Pink.  Pinks and Grays always go together.  So, here's how to make this lovely card:

  • Card base is Gray Granite (GG). 8 1/2" x 11" cut in half and then scored at 4 1/4".  (this gives you 2 bases)
  • 1st layer is Petal Pink (PP) cut at 5 1/4" x 4" and used the "Dainty Diamonds" embossing folder (also emboss a strip of Petal Pink at the same time...approx. 1" x 3" and flag one end.
  • 2nd layer is Gray Granite cut at 2 5/8" x 4 1/4"
  • 3rd layer is Whisper White (WW) cut at 2 3/8" x 4".  Stamp your Peony on this layer (or any other flower/design you like)
  • On a strip of Whisper White stamp your sentiment....cut approx. 3/4" x 3 and angle cut your ends
  • After all is stamped, start glueing together BUT first attach your Gray Granite Ribbon to the left side of your 1st layer (Petal Pink). NOTE:  you have 2 pieces of ribbon, the longer piece only wraps partially around the PP layer and the other ties on front in a faux bow.
  • Stamp the inside of your card, embellish as you like, sign the back, decorate your envelope and mail to someone you love!

Music From the Heart. -  Card #1

I love this stamp set!  If you are musically inclined or know someone who is.....this is the perfect stamp set for you.  Here's how I made this card:
  1. Use the standard A2 card base which a 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock cut in half (on the 11" side, cut at 5 1/2"...this will give you 2 card bases out of sheet of paper). I used Grapefruit Grove as my card base.
  2. Cut a piece of Gold Foil at 5 1/4" x 4".  Now, use your Starburst punch and punch out of the center of this foil 
  3. Your next layer is Whisper White cut at 5" x 3 3/4".  Take this piece and stamp in VersaMark Ink and then use Gold Embossing Powder - heat set it.  Also take a scrap piece of Grapefruit Grove and stamp your sentiment in VersaMark use Gold Embossing Powder as well
  4. Color in the hearts with Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends
  5. Glue all your layers together
  6. I adhered some Gold Metallic Thread, then popped up the Gold Starburst Circle, then glued the sentiment to that
  7. Embellish as you wish (I used Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots) , finish the inside of your card, sign the back and decorate your envelope!





Two Cards using the Heart Punch Pack These cards are really easy to make and you can use any color combo you like. Hope you like them and make a lot of them to send out to put a smile on the recipients face! Here's how I made them: 

1.  I cut an 8 1/2" x11" piece of Thick Whisper White card stock in half and scored at 4 1/4" 
2.  Cut a piece of Black card stock at 4" x 5 1/4" 
3.  Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock at 3 3/4" x 5" 
4.  Use either one of the Heart Punchs to punch out all the Hearts. I used Bermuda Bay, Costal Cabana, Pear Pizzazz, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. 
5.  Lay all the Hearts out on your Whisper White to arrange as you like. I just started with the center piece (Costal Cabana) to make sure it was centered on my card stock and then arranged the rest of the Hearts accordingly.....glue them down and then trim off the edges.  
6.  Glue all your layers together 
7.  Stamp your sentiment and use the Triple Banner Punch to create the flag tail on one end. Pop up your sentiment 
8.  Tie a bow out of your favorite coordinating ribbon (I used Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon) and attach with a glue dot. 
9.  Embellish with Glitter Enamel Dots 
10. Finish the inside as desired, sign the back and decorate your envelope!
