Cottage Wall Fancy Folds

Here is another card using the the Bigz XL Fancy Folds die. It quickly makes a very pretty card! This time I used Cottage Wall DSP on Old Olive cardstock. I used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. I haven't used this embossing folder in some time but it really does give a beautiful effect. I need to start using it more! For my sentiment I punched out Rich Razzleberry cardstock with the Modern Label punch and then stamped my sentiment using the same punch but in Old Olive. I just cut the Rich Razzleberry punch in half and it gives the illusion that it is longer!

Did you know that ALL of our papers are retiring in the big catalog?? It will be hard to say goodbye to some of my favorites but that means that the new catalog will have all NEW paper. I can't wait to see what will be available! Some of the retiring paper is on sale, such as the one I used in today's card! If you would like to see which papers are on sale, look on the right side of my blog under promotions and click the link called Accessories. If you would like to place an order you can simply click the Order Now button at the top of my blog or email me directly and I will take care of it for you.

Thinking of You

This card was inspired by a similar one in a magazine (Stampin' Success) that Stampin' Up! demonstrators receive each month. I changed a few things but the way it turned out. I used two items from the Occasions Mini Catalog: the Extra Large Two Step Bird Punch (which also comes with the branch he is on) and Old Olive 5/8 inch satin ribbon. The texture on the Rich Razzleberry cardstock was achieved by using the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions embossing folder. I used a Stampin' Dimensional on the bird's wing to create lift. My sentiment "Thinking of You" is part of a hostess set (Kind and Caring Thoughts) at level 3. You can choose this set when you have a $500 order. If you have any questions about this card or anything else on my website, don't hesitate to email me! Thanks for stopping by!
