Peace on Earth Card #1 (September Card Class #3)

This card uses the Peaceful Garden DSP and bundle (stamp set and dies) plus the Peaceful Garden glimmer paper.

The glimmer paper is so much prettier in person!

I thought that I would add the die cut dove to the front of the card, but it just seemed to overpower the card.  To help it pop on the inside, I blended some Cloud Cover ink like I did on the front sentiment label.

How cute is that Pecan Pie envelope?

Beautiful Gallery Window Masculine Card

Have you every tried to stretch your DSP (designer series paper) because it's so pretty or handsome that you almost don't want to use it?  At my July card class, we took a 3" square of Beautiful Gallery DSP and stretched it to make three 1" x 3" panels that were then mounted on Early Espresso cardstock to create a "window."

I would love to see how you use this concept to stretch other pretty pieces of paper!

Beautiful Motifs Die Cut Green Card

Here is another card made with the Beautiful Gallery suite, featuring the Beautiful Motifs dies and coordinating stamp set.  (Remember, all suite items are on sale BOGO 50% off this month only!)  

I stamped the floral tapestry stamp on the center of the Very Vanilla panel with Old Olive ink and then used a blending brush to add more color.  I then die cut the Beautiful Motifs die, which only partially cuts the leaves.  (You can see the Old Olive card stock panel underneath).  I adhered the panel to a top-fold Granny Green cardstock card.

Be sure to add a Very Vanilla stamped panel to the inside of the card and stamp the envelop too!

NOTE: This suite and its products will be on sale (BOGO 50%) starting 6/3 and running through the end of the month!
