Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life

Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life

The card I am sharing today is a very easy one to create, yet it turns out beautiful cards.  This will create two cards at the same time.  I used Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set and Dies.  I love the way the word FRIEND turned out.

I am entering  NBUS Challenge as this is a new stamp set for me.

I started with a Pecan Pie cardstock card base.   Cut two coordinating different patterns of Designer Series Paper 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″.   I used Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.   It made for a real nice card.   Place the two pieces of Designer Series Paper one on top of the other and be sure to keep edges together when you place them in the paper trimmer.  

Make a mark with a pencil at the top of your paper a little off center at maybe 1-3/4″ – 2″.   Turn to the long side and make a mark at 2-1/2″ – 2-3/4″.  Line these two marks up in the paper trimmer, you will be making a diagonal cut.  Once you have made the cut,  take the cut piece and place a piece from each pattern so you have two card focal panels. I also cut a piece of Basic White cardstock  3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ to adhere the two pieces of the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper on.  Cut a mat, 4″ x 5-1/4″, I used Basic White cardstock.

Adhere the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper after it has been adhered to the 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ of Basic White cardstock to the Basic White mat.  I wrapped two lengths of Faux Leather Trimer around the piece adhering in the back of the panel with tape.  I scrunched up a Glue Dot long ways and placed under the trim on the card front to keep it in place.  I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the panel and popped on the Pecan Pie card base.

I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Friends for Life Stamp Set in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  I trimmed the greeting using the paper trimmer, dipped the edges of the greeting piece in Pecan Pie ink, then popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped in Memento Black in on a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock, the word friend from Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set, then die cut using a die from Friends For Life Dies.

Neutral Adhesive Back Sequins are popped around the card front.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock. An image from Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink in the corner of the panel and colored using a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

My hope and wish are that you wilbe 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!
