Monday Morning Happenings

Happy Monday!!!!  This week I have some fun tips and  projects to share with you here, and over on my Facebook group.  If you haven't joined me on Facebook yet, Click here now to join us. 

Did you know that each Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.,  I do a Facebook Live presentation where I demonstrate three new projects for you using Stampin' Up! products?  I show you step by step how to create the projects. PLUS, if you make a minimum purchase using the monthly hostess code, I will send you the make & take pieces for FREE.    If you don't have a facebook, check back here Wednesday after the event and I will post the video through YouTube for you to watch. 

Today I am sharing a sympathy card that I made recently.  A sympathy card is not something that we like to have to mail out, but it is a good card to have on hand in case we need it.  Here's the card I am sharing today:

Here's how I created the card:

1. Cut a piece of whisper white cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Score at 4 1/4". 
2. Cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo to 4" x 5 1/4".
3. Using the stamp set Incredible Like You, stamp the flower image randomly onto the flirty flamingo piece using flirty flamingo ink. 

4.    Cut a piece of All My Love Designer Series Paper to 2" x 5 1/4".  Attach this piece to the center of the flirty flamingo stamped piece as shown.

5. Wrap white weave ribbon around the designer series paper and tie the ends in a knot

6. Attach this piece to the front of the card base.

7. Cut a circle (second from the largest), and a scallop circle (black),  using the Layering Circle framelits. 

8. Stamp the flowers on the white circle piece, using the Incredible Like You stamp set and flirty flamingo ink.  Stamp a greeting ( I used Flourishing Phrases) using black ink.

9. Attach the white circle to the Scalloped black circle then attach to the front of the card as shown using dimensionals. 

10. Using the Sprig Punch, punch 2 sprigs from Soft Sea Foam cardstock.  Attach using tombo multipurpose adhesive

11.  Attach 3 small pearls to each corner.
