Lovely & Beautiful Simple Card

I originally thought that this layout would make a great card for my Senior Center gals. However, after *I* assembled this gorgeous, simple-looking card, I decided that there was too much lining up for them to accomplish. The original idea was ...Petal Pink, but I found a decorative DSP that was not pink, and, I thought was really pretty, to create my version. Don't get me wrong, I do love the layout, just not for my senior gals! So, go look through your awesome DSP scraps, find a classy embossing folder and create many versions of this layout! So many possibilities and occasions.

Measurements:

Old Olive: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", scrap
Fresh Freesia: 2 1/2" x 3 3/4"
Lovely & Beautiful DSP (OE): 1 1/8" x 3 3/4" (small print)

To Make This Card:

Adhere White layer to folded Old Olive card base.
Emboss Fresh Freesia piece with Damask Designs Embossing Folder. Cut this piece into 2 pieces, by removing 5/8", leaving 1 7/8". You will be using both pieces!
I started by adhering the 5/8" strip first, then the DSP, then the final piece of Embossing Fresh Freesia cardstock. I used Multipurpose Glue to help move the strips into place, with equal spacing.
Stamp sentiment in Old Olive on scrap of White. Die cut with banner from Stylish Shapes dies.
Make loops of Gold cord and adhere to card front. Add banner over the top with Dimensionals.
Finish with Fresh Freesia Rainbow Dots.

To Make This Card:

Next, run the Petal Pink piece through the Damask Designs Embossing Folder.
Now, adhere the DSP to the top of the folded card base. Then, add the embossed piece. it will overlap just a bit.
Cover the "seam" with a strip of Petal Pink RIbbon.
Next, die cut the 2nd from the smallest stretched hexagon die from the Nested Essentials Dies in Very Vanilla cardstock and the smallest die from Petal Pink.

Misty Moonlight Scalloped Wishes

Well I decided it was time to get off the pink kick (at least for my Senior Center class) and create something in a different color! Everything I was going to try was a shade of pink. So I found this lovely Misty Moonlight piece of DSP and went from there! I just love it! This bundle makes such quick, gorgeous cards. I think they will LOVE it!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/8" x 3 3/4", scrap
Misty Moonlight: 2 3/4" x 3 1/4"
Bubble Bath: scraps
Lost Lagoon: scraps
Painted Illusions (POTM) (ret): 4" x 5 1/4" (Misty Moonlight print)

To Make This Card:

Adhere the DSP to folded White card base.
Stamp outside "dotty" image in Misty Moonlight ink onto White piece. Die cut with corresponding die from the Scalloped Wishes Dies.
Die cut next, Oval Die from Misty Moonlight cardstock. Adhere these 2 together with Multipurpose Glue.
Next, die cut all 3 small "sprigs" from Lost Lagoon, and a set of "flowers" from Bubble Bath and one from White (you'll only use the smallest flower). Add a little Wink of Stella to the flowers, if desired.
Arrange "sprigs" and "flowers" onto "ovals". I popped up the flowers with Mini Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment in center with Misty Moonlight ink.
Add "ovals" to front of card with Dimensionals.
Finish with Bubble Bath Rainbow Dot on White Flower, and White Moody Palette Dots on the 2 Pink flowers.

Cute as a Bug Fun Fold

Well, it's Senior Center time, again, so time to create cards for them! I try to use up some of my retired inventory with them, but this one is all current! This one was designed by Tara at Tarabeth Stamps! So clever, you know I love the arches as much as I love ovals! And, with this one, I finally get to use the mushrooms in the Sweet Bugs Dies!! Glad she had a tutorial on how to assemble them, as I doubt I'd ever figure it out! I love this one so much, I think I'll do it in my monthly class here, too!

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow: 5 1/2" x 6 3/4", 3" x 4 1/4" (arch)
Crushed Curry: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" (lower front)
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Cajun Craze: scraps
Basic Beige: scraps
Cute as a Bug (OE): 2 1/8" x 5" (mushroom print), 2 5/8" x 3 1/2" (fern print)

To Make This Card:

Score Mossy Meadow base @ 4 1/4". Crease into a mountain fold.
Die cut 4th largest Arch from the Everyday Arches in Mossy Meadow, and 5th largest arch from the "fern print".
Score the Mossy Meadow cardstock piece @ 1/2". Crease well.
Trim 3/8" from the DSP piece. (you may still need to fit this a bit first)
Next, adhere White layer to inside Crushed Curry piece.
Place Tear & Tape on inside of "mountain fold" of Mossy Meadow arch on the 1/2" flap. Hook this over the top edge of the inside cardstock pieces and press, firmly, into place. Make sure flap will easily flip up!
Now, adhere this entire piece to the inside of card!
Next, add the Crushed Curry and DSP pieces to front flip up piece.
For the 3 "mushrooms" die cut the 3 stems in Basic Beige, and the tops from Cajun Craze. These are in the Sweet Bugs Dies. (Note: the smallest "mushroom" is actually a little cluster of 3 - the tops are in one die!)
Now, adhere the "fern" DSP piece to the Mossy Meadow arch, fitting it first.
Next, adhere the Cajun Craze "mushroom tops" to the matching base, using Multipurpose Glue. The smallest one actually has 3 tops. I couldn't actually determine which one went where, so just go for it!
Then, adhere the 3 "mushrooms" to the "flap" with Multipurpose Glue. (I should have centered mine more, but did mine like she did!
Stamp sentiment in Cajun Craze ink in opening, as shown.
Finish with scattered Brass Butterflies and a little Ladybug on the base front. (Note: there are also some cute "bugs" you could die cut and add - a snail, small butterfly, and small dragonfly! Too cute!)
