You're Absolutely Amazing!

Good morning friends! I hope today finds you doing well! Yesterday, I shared my 2021-2023 In-Color Birthday Cards with you. They feature the Color and Contour Stamp and Die Bundle. Today, I'm sharing another card using the same bundle, with Daffodil Delight. I love how totally different the projects can be from this bundle. It really is quite versatile!

I have to put a little disclaimer here. I did use some recently retired ribbon on my card. Sadly, the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon retired with the 2020 Annual Catalog, last month. I'm still mourning the loss as this was my absolute FAVORITE ribbon. Since I still had some leftover, I thought I'd use it anyway. lol. But you'll notice in the supply list below, I didn't leave you empty handed. The White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon would be a pretty substitute. :-D

I started out with an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" THICK Basic White Card Base, scored at 4 1/4". I layered a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Daffodil Delight Cardstock on the front and stamped "You're Absolutely Amazing" in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom right corner.

On a 5 1/4" x 3 1/2" piece of Basic White Cardstock, I stamped multiple flower outlines in black and then layered on the color in Daffodil Delight.

I used the scalloped border die from the bundle to create that beautiful edge. Then, I tied the ribbon around the white layer and attached it to the card base.

For the envelope and the inside of the card, I carried that two-step stamped flower over. I love matching the insides and envelopes to the card fronts!

And what do I always say? "NO NAKED INSIDES, AND NO NAKED ENVELOPES!!!"

I hope you enjoyed today's card! If you haven't already ordered the Color and Contour Bundle, I highly recommend it! It's just lovely and a terrific all around nice set!

Polished Pink and Color & Contour

Good morning folks! I have a new favorite stamp set to play with! It's called "Color and Contour". From the new 2021 Annual Catalog, it has a beautiful coordinating die set as well. The sentiments look hand written and the line drawing floral images are so sweet!

Notice that adorable scalloped background piece? It's made from one of the frame Dies included in the bundle! I just love it!

I used an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Magenta Madness card base, the largest scalloped frame from the die set to cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock, and a scrap of Magenta and White for my sesentiment. The Magenta strip is just 1/8" bigger on two sides.

As you can see, the Color and Contour Stamp Set features two-step Stamping. I used Magenta Madness and Memento Black ink pads to create the front of the card. A simple staggering of the floral image fills up the scalloped layer nicely. Then, I stamped my sentiment on the White strip, cut it to size, and then created a mat from the Magenta Madness scrap.

I wanted the sentiment to stand out from the rest of the card, so I attached it with Dimensionals.

I love the way this sweet card turned out! Stay tuned for more projects using this beautiful bundle!
