Sale-a-Bration July-August 2022 is underway, and you have to love the Wonderful World Bundle, a FREE item with a qualifying purchase. However, it’s only available as long as supplies last, so don’t delay ordering.
I began today’s design by cutting the flowers from a 12″ X 12″ sheet of Wonderful World Designer Paper, and attaching them to Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, cut with the second smallest Deckled Rectangles Die. Using the same Deckled Rectangles Die, I cut a second rectangle, and glued it to the first, placing the flowers and two rectangles on Dimensionals.

Wonderful World Flowers
Next, I glued a strip of Wonderful World Designer paper, 4 1/4″ X 1 1/2″ to Basic White Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″. Then, I used the largest Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting, and gave it texture with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder.
After embossing, I glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment, Just for you,” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set, stamped in Pear Pizzazz Ink, cut with its Sentiment Silhouettes Die, and attached with a Dimensional.
For more texture and sparkle, I added one larger, and three smaller, Iridescent Pearls.

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

your cards are lovely and a treat to look at.
That’s such a nice compliment! Thank you, Marlene!
Su, I wanted a special, classy card for a friend’s 90th birthday. I knew just where to look for ideas: your blog posts! I decided upon this one. Whereas I did nothing to improve upon your design, I did add details to personalize it and am proud to present it to my friend. (I was going to include a pic, but see no way to do that.) Thank you for your inspiration!
Thank you, Bonnie! I appreciate you telling me, and know your friend will love your card!
I read your emails with my morning coffee and this early morning treat is another inspiration. I don’t have a scan & cut but I do fussy cuts. I have this paper in my next order and can’t wait to CASE this! Thank you!
Thank you for telling me, Noreen! I’m so happy to join you with your morning coffee!
Gorgeous card. Your fussy cutting skills are so impressive!
Thank you, Sue! I do like to fussy cut, but can’t take credit for this one. I experimented with a Scan N’ Cut, and it behaved itself.
I found your cards from Stampin’ Pretty and just joined your blog. Enjoy your card layout very much. thanks for sharing your great ideas for cards.
Welcome Marlene! So happy to have you join my blog!
What a lovely take on the sketch! The textured background is absolutely amazing. Thanks so much for joining in the party at Freshly Made Sketches this week.
Thank you, Cecile! I’m so glad you like it!
I love how your charming flowers pop on the various textures and patterns that you used! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Thank you, Kim! I’m always inspired by the FMS sketches!
You always have the prettiest cards!
You are sweet! Thank you, Lynn!
Such a beautifully elegant card!
Thank you, Celeste! I appreciate your nice comment!
Lovely card, Su!
Thank you, Connie! I’m so glad you like it!
Su, I always love your cards but really love every detail you implemented on this sketch. I’m going to try all of this today! Beautiful!
Thank you, Sherrie! So happy to be an inspiration!
Love this card! Did you fussy cut the flower? I don’t see any dies for that stamp set..
Thank you, Susan!
No dies, but tried using a Scan N’ Cut. It’s usually unreliable, and I prefer fussy cutting.
