Kristen’s Shower Card
My lovely cousin is getting married, and yesterday I attended her bridal shower. I went to the department store earlier in the week to purchase a gift and had it wrapped.  I chose this particular wrap design because it appeared to bevery similar to the Manhattan Flower embossing folder.   My card, simple as it is, made a gorgeous companion to my gift.  I used a clear translucent envelope which gave my gift the WOW factor. 
The base of the card is whisper white cardstock.  Insert a piece of Real Red cardstock (4×5) into the Manhattan Flower embossing folder and run through the Sizzix Big Shot.  Trim away the top un-embossed area.  Mount this onto the base.
Stamp the sentiment from the Oval All set using Real Red Classic Ink on Shimmery White cardstock.  Rub the back of the image with waxed paper and use the Punches Plus Classy Brass Stencil oval with a light box to emboss the oval.  Punch this out using the Oval Punch.  Next, punch a scrap of Real Red cardstock using the Oval Scallop Punch and mount the sentiment onto it with adhesive.  Use Dimensionals to adhere to theset to the card.
Lastly, tie at simple knot using Whisper White Organza Ribbon. 
The Shimmery White cardstock and organza ribbon make this an elegant card using any color cardstock.  I also use velum to emboss the design and mount it on a soft subtle cardstock base
I can’t wait until the next time I need a gift. The department store also has another design that will coordinate with the Tart & Tangy stamp set.

Eyelet Borders

Eyelet Borders

Today’s card is clean and simple (CAS) featuring layered eyelet borders.  The base of the card is made from  Always Artichoke.  Next comes the layers of the To the Nines DPS.  The large paisley print is cut at ¾ x 4 inches (on the left) and 3 x 4 inches (on the right).  The smaller print in the center is cut at 1¼ x 4 inches. 

Next is a 2¼ x 5 strip of Very Vanilla cut on both edges with the eyelet border punch.  Layer with a strip of Always Artichoke cut at 1¾ x 5 also edged with the eyelet border punch.  (See below for a tip on using border punches).  Use a small amount of adhesive to connect the layers and mount the unit onto the card.  Wrap with Very Vanilla ⁵⁄₈” grosgrain ribbon and tie a simple knot. 

The sentiment from the Oval All set was stamped on Very Vanilla with Always Artichoke.  Next, rub the back of the image with waxed paper and use the Punches Plus Classy Brass Stencil oval with a light box to emboss the image for a subtle enhancement.  Punch a scrap of Always Artichoke using the Oval Scallop Punch and mount the sentiment.  Use Dimensionals to adhere to the card.
