Flowering Foils




Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (aka: DSP)!  Beautiful to say the least and it's FREE with any $50 order.  This card would brighten anyone's day and these days.....well you know all the struggles a lot of people are going through.  So here's how to make this:

  • Base Card is your standard 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" - scored at 4 1/4"
  • 1st Whisper White layer = 4 1/8" x 5 1/4" and I also used an embossing folder (I used 3 different folders just to see the difference)...Subtles; Scripty & Parisian Flourish
  • The Popped-up layers  
    1. Colored cardstock = 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" 
    2. Whisper White cardstock = 2" x 5" (also used Embossing Folder)
  • I colored the Flowering Foils DSP with my Stampin' Blends (you could also use your ink pads with a Sponge Dauber or blending brush or your Stampin' Write Markers) then I fussy-cut them all out.....ugh (I'm not a fan of fussy cutting - but, I'm getting better)
  • On a scrap Whisper White I stamped my greeting then punched it out using my 1 1/4" Circle Punch
  • Now, start glueing....
    1. Whisper White (4 1/8" x 5 1/4") to your Colored Card Base
    2. One of your single flowers in the upper right-hand corner
    3. Use dimensionals to pop up the 2 1/4 x 5 1/4" Colored strip (glue the Whisper White strip to it)
    4. Use your double flower set and glue it down
    5. Use dimensionals to pop up your last single flower
    6. Use dimensionals to pop up your 1 1/4" Circle greeting
    7. Embellish as you wish
    8. Finish the Inside as you wish and decorate your Envelope too and don't forget to sign the back of your beautiful card!
Now, why don't your make this and send to someone that needs a bit of encouragement or to just put a smile on their faces.
I hope you all have a blessed day, stay smart, stay home and stay healthy!

I am sure this will come as no surprise to you, but given the Coronavirus, I will be canceling the workshops I have scheduled for the month of March.
 I know this is in the best interest of all of us,  though I will miss seeing each of you this month.
 For now I am planning on resuming our workshops in April, but it will have to be on a “wait and see” basis.  I will keep you posted.
 In the meantime I offer prayers for you and your loved ones that you will stay healthy and safe amidst this pandemic.
 Should you need anything or if I can help you in anyway with your stamping needs, please do not hesitate to let me know. 
 Just a reminder both the Sale-a-Bration special and the Starter Kit special come to an end March 31st.
