Great Gift Card #3

Hi Friends,

I’m so glad you are joining me today for my third card  from the Great Gift Idea #1.

So what is your favorite sport this time of the year? For me it's Iowa Hawkeye basketball. I may not live in Iowa any longer but I am still a huge Iowa fan. I will be traveling to Iowa later this month and hope to catch a game while I am there.

All supplies are from Stampin Up unless noted otherwise.

The colors used throughout this project are Lost Lagoon, Basic  Black, and Very Vanilla.

The card base is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" from Very Vanilla.

You will need:

One piece of Lost Lagoon cut 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" this is for a matting behind the main image.

One piece of Very Vanilla cardstock cut to 3-¾” x 5”.

3 sequins of your choice. I used silver in my example.

Black Stazon ink or another Archival fast drying ink.

For this card you place the smaller piece of Very Vanilla card stock center on the Very Vanilla card base. You stamp the three flowers in the corner of the smaller piece so it hangs over the edge. When  you remove this smaller piece part of the flower should remain on the card base. You will then attach the Lost Lagoon piece to the smaller piece and then on top of the card base as shown in the picture.

You final step is to stamp the sentiment of your choice with Black Stazon ink and glue down the sequins.

Another quick card for a WOW finish.

If you have any questions be sure to contact me.

Great Gift Card #1

Here is the first card from the Great Gift Idea #1.
All supplies are from Stampin Up unless noted otherwise.


This card was so quick and easy to make. It makes a great WOW card with little effort.

The colors for cardstock I used are Lost Lagoon (retired) and Crumb Cake.

The card base is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" from Lost Lagoon, Any blue cardstock would look great.

You will need 2 pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 3-3/4" x 5".  One piece has a 3" circle cut out.
(The circle is saved for the second card in the series.) The second piece is run through the Big Shot with the Gently Falling embossing folder. I lightly sponged the dots with a sponge and crumb cake dye ink.

The piece of Very Vanilla was sponged with Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake to make a "beachy" image. I used post it notes for the horizon line.

The sentiment was stamped on a scrap strip of Lost Lagoon and cut trimmed into a banner. I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

The starfish was stamped with Crumb Cake and cut out by hand.

In putting the card together I first attached the circle piece to the beach scene piece. I added this to the card base. I then attached the starfish image with clue on three legs and foam tape on two legs. Place within the circle as you like. I then attached the banner with double sided tape.

If you have any questions please let me know.
