Wonderful World I Miss You Card

I simply adore this "I Miss You" card created by Cathy Miller. She used the beautiful Wonderful World Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper for a lovely color combination! Remember, you can earn the Wonderful World stamp and DSP bundle for FREE with a $100 order during Sale-a-Bration thru August!

Background Basics—Cathy began with a Flirty Flamingo card base that she speckled with flecks from the brush-tip end of a Stampin' Blends Marker. She added a 2" x 5" piece of Wonderful World DSP along the left-hand side.

Focal Point—Cathy colored the Wonderful World flower rubber stamp with the brush-tip end of Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Markers, then stamped it onto Basic White card stock. The layer was die cut with the Deckled Rectangles Dies and popped up with Dimensionals onto the card front.

Sweet Sentiment—Next, Cathy stamped the sentiment from the Amazing Phrases Sale-a-Bration stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink onto a smaller Flirty Flamingo Deckled Rectangles die-cut. It's also popped up.

Finishing Touches—Cathy finished by tying a double bow with Gray Granite baker's twine from the Essentials Baker's Twine Pack. It's attached with a Glue Dot. She brushed some Wink of Stella glimmer onto the flowers for some shine. She even added a few Iridescent Pearls, too! Just lovely!

Wonderful World Hello Tag Card

Amy Combs created this marvelous card spotlighting many of the pretty patterns from the Wonderful World DSP.

Background Basics—Amy started by adhering several panels of Wonderful World DSP to a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Old Olive cardstock: 3-3/4" x 1-3/4" along the top, 3-3/4" x 2-1/2" along the bottom and 3-3/4" x 1" across the middle. That was mounted onto a Rich Razzleberry card base.

Terrific Tag—Amy used the Tailor Made Tags Dies to die cut a tag shape from another pattern of Wonderful World DSP. She stapled on a folded piece of Natural Finish Ribbon on the top and adhered it to the card front. She also punched a Handmade Tag shape from yet another pattern of the DSP and layered it over the tag.

Sweet Sentiment—Amy stamped the Wonderful World flower image in Daffodil Delight ink onto a Basic White Lasting Label punched shape. Then, she stamped a Old Olive sentiment from the Hello Harvest stamp set over the top. The sentiment label is popped up onto the card front with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—Amy added several white Classic Matte Dots floating around the shapes. Really pretty!

Wonderful World Cards With Split Card Textures

Oh my goodness! I'm absolutely loving the new Split Card Textures Dies from the Annual Catalog! Peggy Tassler used them to create beautiful backgrounds for these lovely Wonderful World cards. Truth be told, there are LOTS of little pieces of paper that need to be poked out of the die-cut, but the resulting look is to die for!

Background Basics—Peggy started by die-cutting a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock with one of the two cool Split Card Textures dies. She adhered some Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon around the layer, then mounted it to the front of a Soft Succulent card base

Focal Point—Peggy used Highland Heather and Soft Succulent Stampin' Write Markers to color directly onto the Wonderful World iris image. She stamped in onto Basic White cardstock and punched it out with the Decorative Circle Punch. It's layered onto a Highland Heather Layering Circles die-cut, then popped up with Dimensionals onto the card front.

Sweet Sentiment—Peggy stamped a sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in Highland Heather ink onto Basic White, then die-cut it with the Sending Dies and popped it up with Mini Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—She added a Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon bow over the top of the ribbon with a Glue Dot. She also added a few Pearl Jewels to finish the look. So sweet!

Wonderful World Stamp Set—The Wonderful World stamp set is part of the Sale-a-Bration bundle selection that also includes a 12"x12" pack of beautiful coordinating Wonderful World Designer Series Papers. You can earn this combo when you place a $100 order in July or August.

Two Cool—Peggy knows I like "two cool" versions, so she also created a similar card with some different elements. She started by trying out the other Split Card Textures Dies. She wrapped that layer with a Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon and mounted it onto a Evening Evergreen card base.

Focal Point—This time, Peggy inked another Wonderful World image with Polished Pink and Evening Evergreen Stampin' Write Markers and layered it onto a Polished Pink circle. The sentiment is also stamped in Polished Pink.

Kite Delight Another Year Flies By Card

I always love a cool recessed window card and I love the way the rainbow colors are recessed under the cloud panels on this card.

Background Basics—Select the rainbow striped pattern of the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper pack. Trim 1/4" off the top and bottom of the card, so it measures 4" x 5-1/2". Adhere to a Basic White Thick card base. Next, die cut a cloud border down the left side of a 3" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the kite tail in Night of Navy onto the larger cloud panel. Pop up the two panels over the rainbow with Dimensionals.

Cute Kite—Stamp the Kite Delight image in Night of Navy onto a pink Abstract Beauty DSP pattern, trim with Paper Snips and mount with Dimensionals above the tail. Add Adhesive-Backed Hexagons to the bows on the kite tail.

Sweet Sentiment—Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy onto a 2-1/2" x 3/4" piece of blue patterned Abstract Beauty DSP. Fish-tail cut one side, then adhere across the recessed area on the bottom of the card.

Kite Delight Uplifting Friendship Card

Do you ever use a focal point image to create a cool background? This card uses one of the Kite Delight kites to make a colorful patterned backdrop.

Background Basics—Stamp the Kite Delight image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" piece of Basic White. Stamp one image, then turn the sheet 180° and you can stamp the images really close together in a line. The kites were then colored in with the retiring 2020-2022 In Color Stampin' Write Markers. The piece was matted onto a 4" x 4" piece of Basic Black.

Focal Point—Stamp the kite tails in Memento Black onto the bottom of a Bumblebee card base. Adhere the kite patterned background to the top of the card base. Next, stamp the floral kite in Memento Black onto Basic White cardstock and color with In Color markers. Cut out the kite with super-sharp Paper Snips and pop up with Dimensionals.

Sweet Sentiment—Stamp the Kite Delight sentiment in Memento Black onto a 1-3/4" x 1-1/4" piece of Bumblebee cardstock. Mount onto a 2" x 1-1/2" piece of Polished Pink cardstock. Add a 4" piece of White Frayed Ribbon to the back, then pop up with Dimensionals.

Friendly Hello Horizontal Easel Cards

Here's a fun-fold card style that is a perfect way to display pretty cards made with the Friendly Hello Bundle!

Background Basics—The card begins with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Pool Party card base that's scored at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4". I embossed a 5-1/4" x 2" piece of Pool Party cardstock with the splatter texture from the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder pack. It's adhered to the top panel of the card front. On the bottom panel, I adhered a 5-1/4" x 2" piece of Basic White, then a 5-1/8" x 1-7/8" piece of Friendly Hello DSP.

Focal Point—I stamped the Friendly Hello images onto a 3-1/4" x 2-1/4" piece of Basic White. I started with the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next, I added flowers in Fresh Freesia, smaller flowers in Pool Party and leaves in Granny Apple Green. The piece is layered onto a Granny Apple Green Stitched So Sweetly die-cut, then popped up onto the bottom panel only with Dimensionals. I finished by adding a few Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels.

Inside The Card—I decorated the inside with more stamping on a piece of 5-1/4" x 4" Basic White. I added more Fresh Freesia flowers, Pool Party flower and Granny Apple Green leaves. I finished by adhering a 5-1/4" x 1-1/4" strip of Friendly Hello DSP to the bottom of the Basic White layer.

The Kick Stand—Every easel card needs a "kick stand" stopper to hold the easel up. For this card, I stamped a Friendly Hello sentiment in Memento Black ink onto a Basic White Tasteful Labels die-cut. It's popped up with Dimensionals onto the inside of the card and flanked with a couple of Iridescent Rhinestones. This is the card that will come with the 5-Card Kit.

Two Cool—The second card starts with a Granny Apple Green card base and a Granny Apple Green splatter embossed layer on the top. I used the same Basic White and DSP layers for the bottom panel, as the first card.

Focal Point—This time, I stamped the Friendly Hello bird image and colored it in with Pool Party, Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Markers. I also stamped some flecks around the image with stamped-off Granny Apple Green ink. It's layered onto a Shaded Spruce scalloped rectangle this time. I added Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers, too.

Inside The Card—I stamped the flowers in Memento Black and colored them in with Fresh Freesia Blends. The leaves are stamped with Shaded Spruce ink and the flecks are stamped-off Granny Apple Green. I added a couple of Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers here, as well.

Kick Stand—I stamped another Friendly Hello greeting in Memento Black onto a smaller Stitched So Sweetly rectangle and popped it up with Dimensionals. This time, my kick stand is a little higher up on the card, so the easel stands up just a little bit more.

Two Awesomely Adorable Otter Cards

Hi Stamping Friends!

Are you ready for a LIVE Class? I'll be doing my first LIVE Class of the year on Tuesday, January 25, at 7pm ET, and I'll be featuring the Sweet Conversations Suite. I will also be offering a LIVE Class Kit to go along with the class that you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order. Since many of the projects will be focused on Valentine's Day, I'll be sending out class kits as soon as you place an order beginning January 27. You can watch the class LIVE at my Too Cool Stamping Facebook Page, or catch the replay on my Facebook page or YouTube channel.

Today, I'm sharing a couple of cards featuring the adorable Awesome Otters stamp set. It's one of my favorite selections from the Sale-a-Bration flyer!

Daily Dose of Ava: Our sweet Miss Ava had her two-month check up last Friday and she is doing great! She weighed in at just under 10 lbs., officially making her heavier than our sweet dogger Millie. Now I know why my biceps are getting sore lately! I can't think of a better upper body workout!

Awesome Otters Birthday Card

Bust out your Stampin' Blends and you can create this cute birthday card in minutes! Remember, you can earn this adorable Awesome Otters stamp set for FREE with a $50 order thru February!

Background Basics—The background begins with a 4-1/4" x 4" piece of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper adhered to a Misty Moonlight card base. I love the cool colors and patterns in this paper stack! Did you notice that it's in a new 4" x 6" size that makes it ideal for cardmaking projects! Next, tie the Misty Moonlight and Petal Pink 1/8" Cotton Ribbons around another pattern of Abstract Beauty DSP and adhere to the card front.

Awesome Otter—Stamp the Awesome Otter sentiment in Basic Gray at the top of a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Basic White paper. Next, stamp the otter image and birthday hat in Basic Gray onto the piece and color with Stampin' Blends in Smoky Slate, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade colors. Layer onto a 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" piece of Just Jade cardstock and pop up onto the card front with Dimensionals.

Here's another sweet & simple card featuring the Awesome Otters Sale-a-Bration stamp set!

Background Basics—Start by adhering a piece of Cinnamon Cider DSP from the Neutrals 6x6" pack onto a Cinnamon Cider card base. Then emboss a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock with the Gingham Embossing Folder and adhere to the card front. Next add a Basic Gray doily from the Heart & Home Doilies Pack. Finally, die-cut a large Crumb Cake scallop circle with the Layering Circles dies and pop that up on top of the doily for the final background element.

Focal Point—Stamp the Awesome Otter image in Memento Black onto a Basic White circle cut from the Layering Circles dies. Color with Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Markers. Adhere onto the scallop circle.

Sweet Sentiment—Die-cut a Basic White Tasteful Labels piece and stamp the Awesome Otters sentiment on it with Misty Moonlight ink. Pop up with Dimensionals. Tie a Linen Thread bow and adhere it to the label with a small dot of Liquid Multipurpose Glue.

Shaded Summer Multicolor Floral Cards

Hi Stamping Friends!

Today I'm bringing back a technique that I don't use nearly enough...multicolor stamping with markers. It works so beautifully with the Shaded Summer floral images! If you like the cards, consider placing an order with me to earn a FREE Shaded Summer LIVE Class Kit. More details below!

Also, a reminder that the registration for the Penguin Place 12-Card Class Kit will be open thru tomorrow, Tuesday, August 31 only. This is your final chance to jumpstart your holiday cards with this adorable first Countdown To Christmas class!

Penguin Place Countdown To Christmas Bundle Add-On Update: The Penguin Builder Punch is now on backorder and is not expected to be available until November 1. You can currently still order it, but it could go onto the non-orderable list soon. As far as my Countdown To Christmas class, I have turned off the Add-On Bundle option for out-of-towners, because of the added cost to ship the backordered item separately. Local stampers may still purchase the backordered Bundle Add-On and pick it up when it's available. You are welcome to order the punch separately and have it shipped directly to you as soon as it's available. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It's always frustrating when popular items go on backorder, but it's out of our control, so we just have to find the best alternate solution. If you have ordered the Bundle Add-On kit before August 28, I anticipate having a punch in your kit.

Shaded Summer multicolor stamping - two cool

Shaded Summer Multicolor Floral Cards

It's been awhile since I've used my Stampin' Write Markers, but the Shaded Summer stamp set has floral images that are perfect for the cool multicolor stamping technique. It's an oldie, but definitely a goodie!

Shaded Summer multicolor stamping - papaya 1

Background Basics—I stamped the Shaded Summer smaller floral image in Pale Papaya ink all over the background of a Pale Papaya card base. Then, I embossed a 5-1/2" x 1" piece of Sahara Sand cardstock with the Timber Embossing Folder. I finished the background by tying some Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the card front into a double-knot faux bow.

Shaded Summer multicolor stamping - papaya 2

Circle Sentiment Layers—I die-cut a large Basic White circle and large Polished Pink scallop circle with the Layering Circles Dies. I stamped a Shaded Summer sentiment in Gray Granite ink onto the white circle, then layered them together and mounted them onto the card front with SEAL Adhesive.

Fabulous Floral—For the multicolor floral image, I colored directly onto the rubber with a few 2021-2023 In Color Stampin' Write Markers. I used the brush tip end to very lightly "paint" on the ink color over the flowers, leaves and stems in Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent. After the entire image was covered with ink, I "huffed" on the stamp to rejuvenate the ink, then stamped onto a Basic White cardstock scrap. I die-cut the image with the Summer Shadows Dies, then popped it up with Dimensionals. Remember, the Summer Shadows Dies are a FREE selection you can choose during Sale-a-Bration when you place a $100 order.

Finishing Touches—I added a few silver Pale Papaya Genial Gems floating around the flowers. So lovely!

Shaded Summer multicolor stamping - succulent 1

Two Cool—The second card has Soft Succulent images stamped all over the Soft Succulent card base, with the same embossed accent piece across the bottom. The front is tied with Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon.

Shaded Summer multicolor stamping - succulent 2

Fab Floral—I colored the floral images with Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent markers this time. I added Genial Gems in Soft Succulent to match the background.

Sweet Sentiment—Rather than stamp the greeting on the circle, I stamped a longer Shaded Summer sentiment in Gray Granite onto a Fresh Freesia die-cut with the Tasteful Labels Dies. It's also popped up with Dimensionals. Beautiful!

Shaded Summer Simple Stamping Cards

The Shaded Summer stamp set has two beautiful floral images and some awesomely versatile, all-occasion sentiments, making it a fabulous addition to your stamping collection. I paired it here with the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper, a FREE selection that you can choose from the Sale-a-Bration flyer when you have an order of $50 or more!

Background Basics—I started with a 2-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of Beautifully Penned DSP adhered to a Coastal Cabana card base. I added a 1/2" x 5-1/2" strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock down the edge for a finished look. Then, I mounted a 3-1/2" x 2-3/4" piece of Mango Melody cardstock at the top of the card to create a foundation for my focal point.

Fancy Floral—I stamped the Shaded Summer large floral image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Basic White. It's colored in with Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Markers, then popped up over the Mango Melody layer with Dimensionals.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Shaded summer greeting in Memento Black ink onto Pool Party cardstock scrap and punched it out with the Double Oval Punch. It's popped up with a Dimensional, too.

Finishing Touches—I tied some Pool Party Sheer Ribbon into a knot and attached it to the floral with a Glue Dot. I finished by adding a couple of silver Metallic Pearls under the focal point for some extra shine.

Two Cool—For the second card, I began with a Polished Pink card base, added a Melon Mambo accent strip and kept the Mango Melody focal point foundation layer. I also tied some Bumblebee Gingham Trim around the card front. It looks great with Mango Melody, even if it isn't an exact match.

Fab Floral—I swapped the Bermuda Bay with Polished Pink for the flowers and added the sentiment directly to the focal point layer. So quick and pretty!

Art Gallery Multicolor Stamped Floral Cards

Create these sweet cards with the help of your Stampin' Write Markers! Did you know that you can color directly onto the stamp to create multicolor images? It's so easy! You can watch my LIVE Class Video to see this fun technique in action!

Art gallery multicolor stamping - bumblebee

You'll make this card with your 5-Card Kit!

Background Basics—I adhered a 2" x 4-1/4" piece of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper to a Bumblebee card base. Next, I embossed a 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I tied some Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the layer before mounting it onto the card front.

Art gallery multicolor stamping - bumblebee 2

Marvelous Multicolor Stamping—I colored the Art Gallery floral image with Stampin' Write Markers directly on the stamp using the side of the brush tip. You can see the marker strokes, but I think it adds interest and perfectly coordinates with the painterly look of the images in this Fine Art Floral suite! I colored the blooms with Bumblebee, Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana, then finished by adding Old Olive for the stems and leaves. I huffed on the stamp before stamping to re-moisten the ink, then stamped onto scrap Basic White. It's die-cut using the Floral Gallery Dies, then popped up with Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionsals.

Sweet Sentiment—There are SO MANY awesome sentiments in this stamp set! I stamped one of them in Melon Mambo ink onto Basic White and punched it out with the soon-to-retire Classic Label Punch. It's popped up, too!

Finishing Touches—I colored Rhinestone Jewels with a Bermuda Bay Marker to add some sparkle. If you have Holiday Rhinestones, you could use the Pool Party ones for the perfect match!

Art gallery multicolor stamping - flirty

You'll also make this card with your 10-Card Kit!

Two Cool—My second card has a Petal Pink pattern of Fine Art Floral DSP layered onto a Flirty Flamingo card base. The rest of the background is the same.

Art gallery multicolor stamping - flirty 2

Flowering Focal Point—This time I colored the flowers with Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana, with Old Olive leaves.

Sweet Sentiment—The Art Gallery sentiment is stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink.

Happiest of Birthdays blocking - two cool

Happiest Birthday Blocked Background Cards

I absolutely love these blocked background cards! I can't take the credit for the design, as I CASEd it from a lady named Rachelle on Etsy. It thought they were so fun and I hope you do, too!

Background Basics—This card begins with a 4" x 5-1/4" Calypso Coral background that's decorated with blocks of Playing With Patterns Designer Series Papers. The blocks measure: 2-1/4" x 2"; 2-1/4" x 3"; 1-1/2" x 3"; and 1-1/2" x 2". I selected a multicolor pattern first, then picked out three more papers that coordinated with it. After adhering the blocks onto the background, I tied some Playing With Patterns Purple Posy ombré ribbon around the layer and mounting it onto a Thick Whisper White card base.

Happiest of Birthdays blocking - coral 2

Sweet Sentiment—I colored the sentiment with Stampin' Write Markers directly onto the rubber using Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Highland Heather. Then, I huffed on the stamp to re-wet the ink and stamped it onto a 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock. I layered that onto a 2-7/8" x 3-5/8" piece of Highland Heather cardstock and popped it up with Dimensionals onto the card front.

Finishing Touches—I finished by adding some coral colored Artistry Blooms Sequins around the sentiment. So cool!

Two Cool—For my second version, I selected different Playing With Patterns papers with a different color combo. This time, I flipped the blocks around a bit and mounted them onto a Purple Posy layer. I tied them with the same ribbon.

Happiest of Birthdays blocking - misty 2

Sweet Sentiment—I colored this sentiment with Misty Moonlight, Crushed Curry and Highland Heather Stampin' Write Markers and layered it onto a Misty Moonlight mat. It's decorated with some coordinating Playing With Patterns Enamel Dots.

Which color combination do you like best?

Happy (late) Birthday Cards & Happy Anniversary To Me!

Depositphotos_114408702-stock-illustration-happy-17th-anniversary-celebration-with

Hi Stamping Friends!

On December 11, 2003, I had just wrapped up creating my very first batch of hand-stamped Christmas cards to send out to family and friends and I was so

excited about Stampin' Up! that I decided to become a demonstrator! At the time, I had only been to a few workshops, but I was already completely in love with creating with stamps, ink and paper! My goal was simply to sign up for the discount and maybe have a few classes to introduce this craft to others. I didn't know anyone who stamped at the time, aside from Michelle Aschliman, who invited me to my first party. Heck, I didn't even know the demonstrator with whom I signed up and who would resign after just 2 weeks of being on her team!

17 years later, I love stamping and Stampin' Up! more than ever! Never would I ever have imagined that I would have a full-time and growing Stampin' Up! business. I'm so very blessed to be part of this community and all of the amazing friendships, rewards and experiences that come along with it! My team, my customers, my fellow demonstrator friends all around the world and the Stampin' Up! team have deeply impacted my life in such an unbelievable and meaningful way! THANK YOU! I look forward to doing a job I absolutely love for many, many years to come!

This has been an amazing year for my Stampin' Up! business. I've hit many awesome achievements and milestones and it's all because of YOU!

A few weeks ago at our OnStage@Home event, I found out that I was ranked #81 globally among approximately 58,000 demonstrators! I ranked #54 among our more than 30,000 demonstrators here in the United States.

I also hit some amazing milestones this year:

Ranked #55 in Sales in the United States
Ranked #39 in Team Building in the United States
Ranked # 71 in Leadership in the United States
Hit my $300,000 career sales milestone
Earned the Maui Extended Incentive Trip (my 6th incentive trip!)
Advanced to Gold Elite (Only 10 US demos got to this level in 2020)

Again, none of this would have been possible without people like you who share my love of stamping, ready my blog, watch my videos, place orders with me and join my team! Thank you so much! I'm so very & so genuinely grateful for you!

Happiest of Birthdays little late - two cool

Happy (Little-Bit-Late) Birthday Cards

I absolutely love this Happiest of Birthdays sentiment, because it fits me perfectly! I'm really good at making the cards, but I'm not so good at sending the cards on time! LOL! I combined the sentiment with the World of Good Designer Series Paper for a couple of masculine-looking cards.

Happiest of Birthdays little late - cider

Background Basics—I started this fun-fold card with a 5-1/2" x 7" piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock, scored at the 4-1/4" mark. I added a 5-1/4" x 2-1/2" piece of World of Good DSP along the top, shortened panel, and a 5-1/4" x 1-1/2" piece of DSP along the bottom of the inside of the card that shows.

Happiest of Birthdays little late - cider 2

Sweet Sentiment—I colored the sentiment with a Cinnamon Cider and Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker directly onto the rubber, then stamped it onto a Whisper White Tasteful Labels die-cut. I cut another of the same shape die-cut in gold Brushed Metallic cardstock, cut it in half lengthwise, and re-adhered it to the top and bottom of the label for a frame.

I fishtail cut the ends of a 4-1/2" x 1-1/2" piece of Crumb Cake and mounted that in the middle of a 3-3/4" x 3" piece of Basic Black. That layer was adhered to the card front top panel with SEAL adhesive. I then popped up the sentiment label on top with Dimesionals.

Finishing Touches—I finished by adding Champagne Rhinestone Jewels to each corner.
