Bloomin' Marvelous

Bloomin' Marvelous

Sale-A-Bration ended March 22. SAB this year was, to me one of the best I can remember!! So many awesome stamp sets and accessories to choose from. This set, Bloomin' Marvelous turned out to be my favorite!

How I did it:

Inks/papers for the card on the left: rich razzleberry, pool party, island indigo

Inks/papers for the card/scrapbook page on the right: summer starfruit, basic gray, baja breeze

Big Shot (right): beautiful wings embosslit

Embellishments: delicate details lace tape, island indigo, basic gray and summer starfruit ribbon

For the card on the right, I used the stamp-off technique to create a shadow for the butterfly. It gives the appearance of movement.

Hope you were able to take advantage of SAB this year!

Bloomin' Marvelous Gift Card Holder

Bloomin' Marvelous

Inside

When giving gift cards for special occasions, I like to add a personal touch. This card does that! It has a nice slot on the inside to insert a gift card and space to add a special note.

Here's how I did it:

1. Starting with the base of the card, I cut a piece of 12"x12" card stock to 4"x11-7/8".
2. Lay the card stock landscape on the Simply Scoring tool and score at 3-7/8" and 7-7/8".
3. Place the diagonal plate on the scoring tool and score at 3-7/8" diagonally - just between the score lines from step #2.
4. Fold the card along the score lines.
5. Make the front and inside of the card. It should measure approximately 3-3/4"x3-3/4"
6. Use sticky strip (or adhesive of your choice) inside of the card along the left inside, top to bottom.
7. You'll need sticky strip on the back of the card as well.
