Good Monday morning my fellow stampers and Happy Memorial Day. Please take a moment to remember all the men and women who risked their lives for us and all the those who still do. Remember to thank them when you see them. My dad was one who fought in WWII for us and I think of him everyday, not just today. Is anyone able to do anything today? My niece and her boys are coming over for a very small picnic and to celebrate my daughters birthday. We usually have a big picnic, but under the circumstances we are not. In the past years, there has been a huge bike race in our town on Memorial Day. This year the parade and race have been cancelled.
For today’s card I made something a little different than I usually do. I’m usually all about the colors, well not today. Here’s my card for you today.
I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the new Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder (available June 3rd). I adhered it to a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut out an oval frame using the Heirlooms Frames and embossed it using the Heirlooms 3D Embossing Folder. This set will be retiring June 2nd. On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Woven Heirlooms Cling Stamp Set in Rococo Rose Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the largest oval from the Layering Ovals Dies.
I adhered the sentiment to the back of the frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the frame to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Rococo Rose. I stamped the flourish image from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set in Rococo Rose above and below the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base using Snail.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope using some of the retiring Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Don’t forget, if you like this Heirlooms Frames & 3D Embossing Folder grab it while you still can. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day. Stay safe everyone. Happy Stamping!!
