Stampin with Shirley G

Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper does all the work in this card creation.  This beautiful card is a CASe of Lisa’s from Queen Bee Creations

Card Cuts for this card:

• Card Base — 5-1/2″ x 8-3/8″  — score at 2-1/8″, 3-1/2″, 4-7/8″, and 6-1/4″
• Cut (4) mats — 2 for front and 2 for the back — 2″ x 5-3/8″
• Cut (4) mats — 1-1/4″ x 2-5/8″
• Cut (4) mats — 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
• Cross mats — (2) 1-1/4/8″2-1/2″
• (2) 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″
• Basic White cardstock
• back of card — 1-1/8″ x 5-1/4″ and 1-1/8″ x 3-7/8″

I wanted to keep the design of the piece I was cutting in line so the appearance of the design would flow instead of being scrambled up.

I used a different Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper pattern to make the cross.  The words  at the bottom of the cross are embossed in Copper Embossing.

It has been a while since I have entered a card challenge, but since I have finally been able to make a card, I am entering this one in Creative Creases Challenge.

This is the back of the card with the sentiment embossed on the cross again using Copper Embossing Powder.

This is the way the back of the card looks when folded.  Multipurpose Liquid Glue is used to adhere all the pieces together.

A Basic White envelope get a panel of 2023-2025 In Color Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I used Wild Wheat.

I am happy you stopped by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. I hope and wish you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

• Ready to Join our team?  Click HERE  for more information. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is to pre-order before a new catalog launches so you can show your customers what they can look forward to having when the new catalog comes out.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card-making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card-making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.
