Celebrate You

 

Happy Tuesday! Today's project features lots of layering and patterns. I love the mix of prints and colors in this card. I combined the new Bouquet Blooms stamp set with the Celebrate You Thinlit Dies. The oh so gorgeous Share What You Love Designer Series Paper was the perfect background for this card.

Project Measurements

Tranquil Tide card base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"

Designer paper layer 4" x 5.25"

Designer paper banner 2" x 5.25" (banner using triple banner punch)

Helpful Tips:

• Use Adhesive Sheets to make adhering the die cut words easier. 
• Cut a piece of cardstock down to size. Lay it on top of the adhesive sheet and cut it down to size (this way you waste less of the sheet).
• Peel off the top layer of the Adhesive sheet. Stick your cardstock to the exposed adhesive.
• Place your die on top of your cardstock and run the entire piece through your big shot.
• Remove the die and your image should be nicely cut.
• Peel the backing off of your die cut and adhere it to your project.

Helpful Tips:

• I started by stamping the flower image all over the background of my Flirty Flamingo card base, in Flirty Flamingo ink. This creates a fun tone on tone look. 
• I stamped the flower onto the Whisper White layer and the envelope in Emerald Envy ink. I then stamped the image again on a scrap piece of Whisper White in Flirty Flamingo ink. I hand cut the large part of each flower out and adhered it on top of the Emerald Envy Flowers. This allowed me to have pink flowers with green leaves.
• I die cut and adhered the words using the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets. 
• I rounded the corners of the Basic Black and Whisper White card stock using the envelope punch board.

Sale-A-Bration Product of the Week

My second Sale-A-Bration Product of the Week is the Amazing You Stamp Set + coordinating Celebrate You Thinlit Dies! The stamps work well on their own; the thinlits are also a great stand alone -- but together is when they really make magic!
