The cards I have to share with you today are bright, cheery, and fun - which I think is exactly what million sales achiever Dena Rekow was going for when she designed the Perennial Petals stamp set. I paired this bundle with the Sweet Little Valentines Cards & More. Take a look:
These little cards are fun on their own, but can also be cut in half and used as patterned paper on your cards. For this first card, I simply mounted the front of the card onto Gold Foil, added it to a Thick Basic White card base, and then stamped and fussy cut my sentiment. A few Champagne Rhinestones were the finishing touch.
For the next card, I cut one of the note cards in half again, but this time I layered both pieces on my card base. I used more stamps and dies from the Perennial Petals Bundle, with Gold Foil accents and more Champagne Rhinestones.
And for the final card, I used the note cards as intended. Quick and easy, but oh so beautiful!
I've been asked if there is a die to cut out the word 'happy'. There is not, but fussy cutting it is fairly easy with this tip from demonstrators Melody Hyde and Erica Cerwin: draw a pencil line around the image or word you want to cut out to give you a guide for cutting. I did this in two of the samples above - can you tell which one I did freehand? It really does make a difference! I also highly recommend using our Paper Snips - they cut like a dream!
Consider adding the Sweet Little Valentines cards to your next order. They're inexpensive and so pretty!
