Step It Up: Blessings of Home

What’s better than making one card? Making three cards, of course! We had fun stepping up these three cards, and we hope you have fun too, whether you make one card or all three! (Products referenced are linked below)

CASUAL

For our Diese Karte beweist: Du bist grandios card, we used both the stamps and the die cuts from the Blessings of Home bundle. We first stamped out a gorgeous floral arrangement in VersaMark ink, which we heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and colored with Watercolor Pencils. We then die cut some lovely leaf trim using gold foil and stamped out a sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the Special Moments Stamp Set. Finally, we tore the top and bottom of the panel behind the floral arrangement for texture.

AVID

We added Pattern Party Designer Series Paper and Gilded Gems to our Geweldig goed gedaan card for a nice pop of color. We then used the White Watercolor Pencil to add shading and dimension to our beautiful flowers. Finally, we die cut a fun label for our sentiment using the Meadow Dies.

ARTFULLY AVID

For our last project—Just a Card to Say You’re Amazing—we broke out the cardstock! We accented the top and bottom of the card with die cut Basic Borders in Rich Razzleberry; then we die cut the floral arrangement in white and the sentiment in Polished Pink. We finished off the card with some Gold 1/4″ (6.4 mm) Shimmer Ribbon. Isn’t it beautiful?
