I am on vacation in New Mexico but had to bring some supplies just to play. This is a simple card I came up with using the CuttleBug and pretty papers. Here is the step by step! I started with a great ivory base card. I buy them in 50 packs at Michael's with a coupon! I also got a great paper stack and matching cardstock stack made by DCWV. This one is Mariposa.
Cut your solid color cardstock 1/4 inch smaller than the base card. I then put the embossing folder to the far left of the cardstock and ran it through the Cuttlebug.
I then cut a smaller piece of butterfly decrative paper and attached it to the left side. I left a slight border all the way around just to make it pop a little bit.
Next, I stamped the sentiment. (MSE) in a deep orange and cut it out with a pair of deckle scissors. I then layered the words on a solid then the pattern. Each layer was trimmed with the decrative scissors.
I opened the card up and stamped a flourish (Paper Inspirations) on the left side and the final sentiment on the top panel of the card.Yes, I did bling out the envelope. I stamped the flourish and tore a bit of paper to make a rough edge. I used a paintbrush to apply a thin layer of glue then added glitter!
This was a quick, easy and fun card to make with a few supplies, on the go and with a bunch of kiddos on vaca! Nice the creative juices still work. Can't wait to get home and rest!
Happy Creating,
