Story of Elegance

Happy Friday!

Note: – I am publishing this post again, because I published the incorrect version earlier.  Ooops!

Hi!  I’m glad that you stopped by.  It’s been a busier week than normal for me, I had my regular blog posts, Tuesday (and today), a blog hop on Wednesday, and a Facebook video on my Facebook page, Elegant Sentiments yesterday.  I like to post a video at least twice a month, and I am working towards weekly.  If you missed the blog hop Wednesday, you should check it out.  There is so much talent and creativity in the InKing Royalty team.

It’s so much fun making videos – even when I flub something up, which is almost every time!  🙂 The fun is not in the perfection but in the sharing.  I just love making cards and sharing them with others.  So I thank you so much for helping me do what I love!!!

Well, today I’m back with the Hello Harvest bundle and I’ve also added the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper (DSP) as the focal point.

I love fall so making this card was an extra delight.

Here’s what I created.

Friendship card made with Stampin' Up! products

Harvest Hello – Loveliest Day

I used Stampin’ Blends to color this piece of black and white DSP.  I’m not a great coloring artist, but I like to color because it is so relaxing.  I just grabbed a handful of blends and markers and had myself some good old-fashioned fun.

Elegance Made Easy

Following are the quick steps to recreate this card.

First, make your cuts:

  • Basic White card stock  –  4″ x 5 1/4″  (for card interior )
  • Cherry Cobbler card stock – 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
  • Rustic Harvest DSP – 4″ x 5/14″
  • Die cuts:
    • Loveliest Day stamp from stamp set stamped onto a piece of Basic White card stock in Cherry Cobbler ink (I also heat embossed with Clear embossing powder.)

Add white ribbon to the DSP panel , then add to the Cherry Cobbler panel.

Adhere the combined panels to the front of a card base made with Thick Basic White card stock.

Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the sentiment to the center of the card.

For the inside, I added a little strip of the DSP that I colored.

Complete by adding dots of White Pearlized Enamel Effects around the card.  I also embossed the envelope flap using the Fern 3D embossing folder. Friendship card and coordinating envelope made with Stampin' Up! products
