More Organization – More Time for Crafting
I had a hard time working out how to line up all these layers until I figured out to cut the layers at the same time. Problem solved!
I love that Stampin’ Up! allows me to coordinate stamps and dies as well as ink, paper, ribbon, and other embellishments.

What a fun way to give someone a gift card for their favorite coffee place! Pull the lid off this cup and it lifts to show the gift card and a quick note. Love it! I know I saw this online somewhere. I wish I remembered who to give credit to.

This card is really gorgeous in person, if I do say so myself. You would think there’s an actual doily on the card! Stamp the doily, emboss with White embossing powder, and keep on hand for just about any event. Sponge with an appropriate color, add as sentiment, and you’re ready to go. This photo shows a spider and Basic Black sponging for Halloween, 5-Petal Punched flowers and Cherry Cobbler sponging for Christmas, A Basic Pearl embellishment and Crumb Cake sponging for a lovely wedding card, Pretty in Pink or Pink Pirouette sponging would make a nice card for a baby shower, 5-Petal Punched flowers and Perfect Plum or Old Olive for perhaps a birthday or even get well. You get the idea. This is a great card to keep on hand! And to think it requires very few tools: Hello Doily and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets, Whisper White or Naturals White card stock, White embossing powder, a Heat Tool, and one or more stamp pads.

I’m not sure what you call the accordion folded embellishments…. lolly, medallion, rosette? There may be more names for them, but I called them addicting! Stampin’ Up! sells a die for these now, The Designer Rosette Bigz XL die, $42.95 #125594. I don’t have the die, so I make them fairly easily with the Simply Scored Tool. A tip:Score a full sheet of Designer Series Paper then slice it into strips 1″ wide or more. I used the Simply Scored tool to add a border to the card base too. I combined the lolly on this card with a large button. I sponged a little Shimmer Paint on the inked stamp to add some sparkle.

So sweet! It doesn’t show up in the photo, but Crystal Effects on the jar really adds to the look.
This fancy fold can also look like a graduation mortar board.

The lacy Triple-Layer punch goes so well with the lacy Delicate Doilies stamp set. This card would be wonderful for so many events or just a note to to say hello.
