Beyond the Garden Happy Birthday Greeting Card

My Stampin' Up! Greeting Card share today is quite different, and it features the Beyond the Garden DSP.  I decided to cut a piece of the DSP, ensuring I cut around the flowers on the paper to create a card front.  After adhering the DSP to the card front, I cut the cardstock (Bashful Blue) around the flowers of the DSP.  Here is the card.

Here is the inside of the card.

If you will note, the front of the card has a ladybug and butterfly perched on the flowers.  The ladybug was made using the Circle Itty Bitty Shapes Punch (body and wings) and an eye from the Owl Punch (head).  The butterfly is a stamp image from the Flower Fest Stamp Set.  The card front bow was made from Marina Mist Ribbon. 

At first glance, the "Just for You" sentiment appears to be on the card front; however, the second picture above shows it's on the inside of the card.  This sentiment is a stamp image from the new catalog's, Tagtastic Stamp Set (Hostess).  As you can see, I created a pocket on the inside of the card and inserted a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that says, "Happy Birthday".  The Happy Birthday sentiment is a stamp image from the Swirls & Curls Verses (Hostess) Stamp Set.   The following picture better shows the "Happy Birthday" insert.

I think the card is pretty cool!  What do you think?

Stampin' Up! Greeting Card - Thanks - Beyond the Garden - Top Note

Today I decided to make a "Thanks" greeting card using the  Stampin' Up! Top Note Bigz Die and the Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP).   I used  Stampin Up So Saffron Card Stock and folded it for a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" card.  When placing the folded card stock onto the Top Note Die for running it through the Big Shot machine, I assured the fold was just inside the cut line on the top of  the Top Note Die to produce two holes at the top of the card (see below).  The resulting card size is 4-5/8" x 3-1/4".

To decorate the card, I cut two Top Notes from a piece of one of the designs from the Beyond the Garden DSP.  I cut along the perforated lines on both pieces, saving the inside of one piece (yellow, pink, green, and white) for the first card layer and the outside of the other (blue and white) for the outside of the card. 

To create the blue butterflies on the card front that match the outer edge of the card, I  used the Embosslits Beautiful Wings. I cut out a flower to match the center flower and layered it on top.  I made the "Thanks" banner with My Digital Studio.  I then inserted into the two holes at the top of the card a piece of Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon.  

For the inside of the card, I stamped a matching Pacific Point flower from the Fabulous Florets onto Whisper White card stock.

I think my card turned out beautifully; what do you think?

Beyond the Garden DSP Greeting Card

What design within the Stampin' Up! Beyond the Garden DSP is your favorite for creating greeting cards?  It's difficult to pick one, isn't it?  I love all of the designs, but I must say I especially love the Pacific Point designs.  Needless to say, that is the design I picked for this card.

This greeting card is quite simple.  I used one of the Pacific Point floral designs to create the first and only layer on the Pacific Point Card Stock.  For the center of the flowers, I placed a Pacific Point Corduroy Button.  Here's the card:

Down the left side of the card is Whisper White Organza Ribbon that I twisted and adhered to the DSP.  The center piece of the card is a Pacific Point Card Stock square that is covered with a Whisper White Card Stock square from which I punched four flowers.  Above the two squares is a cutout from the Stampin' Up! Flower Burst Embosslit Die.  The Flower Burst is embossed with the new and wonderful Stampin' Up! Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder.  Have you used this embossing powder?  If so, what are your thoughts?  Back to the card - the sentiment, "the earth laughs in flowers" is from the new Stampin' Up! Fabulous Florets Stamp Set. 

I hope Stampin' Up! carries over the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set into the 2012 big catalog, don't you?  If you feel as I do, let's send Stampin' Up! an email requesting it to include this set in the big catalog.

You can purchase the products highlighted and linked directly to my 24/7 store.  Just place your cursor over the links and left click.

God's Blessings!
