Beautiful Gallery 5" x 7" card

Beautiful Gallery DSP and The Right Words stamp set

Once again I needed a 5" x 7" card for a special event, this time a masculine card was in order....... and I LOVE just how this card turned out!!! The new Beautiful Gallery DSP and Pressed Flower Motifs were perfect for this card.

Besides this card being 5" x 7", this card has extra room for signatures because I added a second page on the inside.

Since the inside is a bit extra thick, the front flap helps to hold it closed. It's Fun Fold and practical all blended together. How cool is that?!!

Since this card is larger than standard and I added an extra signature sheet, there is quite a bit more cardstock used..... But, if you need a card for group signatures, this is definitely the way to go!!

At the time that I wrote this post, the items in the new catalog didn't have live links yet.

Twisted In Time - Thinking of You card

Twisted In Time

The Twisted In Time stamp set is a Stampin' Up! Online Exclusive. One of my stamping friends, Carol, made a card using this set that was really pretty. This set had been released while I was in recovery mode, so I had totally missed it even being introduced. Once I saw it, I just had to make this simple card with the image stamped on the designer series paper.

Twisted In Time stamped on Country Woods DSP

This was so easy to make! The free tutorial is below and the product list is at the end of this post. I love cards with tons of layers, but sometimes you just need a simple card. This one fits the bill just perfectly!

Beautiful Motifs Lost Lagoon

Beautiful Motifs

Today I contributed this Lost Lagoon card to the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop on Instagram. I really love the challenge of these weekly Insta Hops using all the colors of the Stampin' Up! color palette.

The detail die cut flower used in my focal point reminds of me the Queen Anne's Lace flowers that grew in my neighborhood as a child.

Beautiful Motifs

I used the Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blends Combo Pack to create all of the Lost Lagoon shading in this bouquet. The large leaf is Dark Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blend on Lost Lagoon cardstock. The stems of the flowers is Light Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blend on Basic White cardstock...... then I went back in with the Dark Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blend to add a darker color at the base of each of the flowers. I love the final effect!

This coordinated floral image is from the Beautiful Blooms stamp set

Since the two sets I used are not available until May 6th, I don't have a live link for those items, but here is what you will need to order them after the 6th:
