Forever Fern Sympathy Card

The new stamp set from Stampin'UP!, Forever Fern, is quickly becoming one of my new favorite from the new annual catalog! I used the Forever Greenery Collection Suite, which includes everything that was needed to make the basic card. The sentiment is from Kindness & Compassion, which has sadly retired. The die cut I used is also retired and is from the Sending Flowers die set. But most sentiment and die cuts you may have can certainly be used to create this card.

Outside Layers measurements:

5 1/2" x 8 1/2 " pear Pizzazz card stock, scored at 4 1/4"

4 1/8" x 5 3/8" Whisper White cardstock

4" x 5 1/4" Forever Greenery DSP

1 of the laser cut panels from the Forever Gold Laser Speciality Paper

4 1/4" x 2 3/4" Whisper White cardstock embossed with Greenery Emboss Folder

Inside Layer:

5 1/4" x 4" Whisper White Cardstock

Embellishments:

Assorted gold leaves from Forever Gold Laser Cut Speciality Paper

Die cuts from stamped images using Soft Sea Foam, Shaded Spruce, Pear Pizzazz ink.

2 die cuts from Forever Flourishing Dies in Pear Pizzazz and Shaded Spruce Cardstock

I hope you have enjoyed this card, I know I did!

Ornate Garden Birthday Card

Using the new DSP from Stampin' Up!, Ornate Garden and the coordinating embossing folder, available June 3, 2020, make for beautiful cards, like this one here I used for a birthday card.

Using the medium daisy punch and the leave punch, which unfornatately is no longer available, but any sort of leave punch or die would certainly work, make for quick flowers, by punching out two daisies and a center using the 1/2" circle punch, which is retiring and still available at the time of this blog post.

Here are some quick card details so you can make some for yourself.

Card Base-5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"

Embossed layer- 5.25" x 4"

DSP- 2" x 5.25"

Stitched Circle to fit your sentiment of your choosing, I used one from Peaceful Moments stamp set.

Layered Circle Die to use as a border around stitched shape.

And dimensionals to pop up the sentiment

Here are a few more cards I did using different varieties of the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper.
