Enjoy today with new wonders

Today’s project features a card in an envelope and I am sharing for Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights.   I started by making an envelope using the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper into an envelope.  I used the Stitched Nested label dies to cut the opening at the top and also for the sentiment labels in basic black and petal pink.  The little fairy comes from the host set called New Wonders. She is colored using my Stampin’ blends markers.  I used rococo rose, blackberry bliss, gray granite, so saffron and crumb cake.  For her wings, I used clear Wink of Stella.  I fussy cut her out and added her to my sentiment panel.

For the card inside, I used a base of basic black with a layer of petal pink cardstock.  To this I added a smaller panel of whisper white.  I stamped my sentiment which is also from New Wonders.  This card has a lot of fussy cutting to give it the dimension I was going for.  The flowers from this card are from free as a bird and the leaves are from New Wonders.  All of the images were colored with my blends markers.  For this little fairy I used purple posey and highland heather.  The leaves are colored in old olive.

A lot of time went into this card, but I think it was worth it in the end as I love how it turned out.

Beautiful Friendship promotion card

The card I have for you today was made for my granddaughter’s 8th grade promotion.  She will be a high schooler in the fall, it’s so hard to believe she’s grown so fast.  I used two new stamp sets from the 2019-2020 annual catalog which was released on June 4.  They are Beautiful Friendship (149252) and New Wonders host set (149426).  In order to get the host set, you will need to place an order of $150 in the U.S. or get a group of friends together to place orders totaling $150.  To make this card, I first cut a label using the Stitched Nested Label dies (149638) out of whisper white cardstock.  I then used some removable adhesive to place it on the a 3 3/4” x 5” piece of whisper white cardstock.  I then stamped the images from Beautiful Friendship using blackberry bliss, calypso coral, granny apple green and melon mambo inks.  The sentiment is stamped in memento black and comes from the New Wonders stamp set.  I then removed the stitched nested label piece and adhered the focal panel to a standard A2 card base in blackberry bliss.  I then popped up the label with stampin’ dimensionals being careful to match up the stamped images.

 For the inside of my card, I stamped one of the fairies in memento black ink in the lower right corner of a piece of whisper white cardstock.  I then colored it using my stampin’ blends markers in light and dark blackberry bliss, light and dark calypso coral, light lovely lipstick, light pool party, light and dark granny apple green, light and dark crumb cake, light petal pink and the color lifter.

I hope you’ve found inspiration in my card today.  Please leave me a comment, I’d love to hear from you.  If you would like to purchase any of the products I’ve used today, please click on the shopping cart in the upper right.  It will take you directly to my online store.
