Stampin' Up! With You in Mind
This card sketch is #3 in my series. This card sketch can be transformed by adding a base that is 5" x 3-3/4". You can also use cardstock in place of the Designer paper. For this card I turned it into a Birthday card using Easter Joy Designer paper. I love the shine on this paper. I used a Lost Lagoon cord under the sentiment to add a little texture. Give this easy sketch a try, and have fun with it! https://youtu.be/hJXYBZf1UcY 1. Base- 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". Score at 4-1/4" 2. 3

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony

The sprigs in this Bundle steal the show, and create a great focal point. Surprisingly the DSP on this card is the flip side of Easter Joy. Who would have thought that Easter paper could be transformed to make this neutral earthy card. https://youtu.be/hJXYBZf1UcY 1.Base- 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Score at 4-1/4" 2. Early Espresso

Stampin' Up! Pleated Technique
I used the pleated card technique with our new Product of the Month Painted Illusions Designer Paper . I added a little dimention with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder , to create a textured background and the bold leaves on the front, provide a landing spot for my sentiment. A "thank you so much" sentiment keeps it clean and heartfelt. I hope you enjoy this technique. Tip: Flip it the other way to look like a curtain, or use the left over piece to create another fun element
