Life is Beautiful

July 16, 2017

I just spent this evening with amy son-in-law parents, a very sweet couplecouple, celebrating their 61st Anniversary. She is beginning to show signs of Alzheimer and he has been so dependent on her until now. Life is changing for them and my heart goes out to them and others in this same situation and there are many. I pray for those who are caring for them as well as for them. It reminds me of this card that I made for my last stamp camp. We forget how beautiful life is and how wonderful it is when we are doing well and how hard it is when we are not. I am thankful for each day I spend with you.

LIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING is Created with Colorful Seasons Stamp Set


Cut Whisper White @ 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 score @ 4 1/4 this serves as your card base.
Cut 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 Crushed Curry card stock. This gets adhered to the card base.
Cut Color Theory DP to 5 1/4 x 4. This goes on top of the DSP.
Cut a 4 3/8 x 3 1/8 Crushed Curry, which goes behind the 4 1/4 x 3 Whisper White.

Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

For this card I started out with the beautiful 2025-27 In Color Strawberry Slush. I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and die to cut the flowers. I added the beautiful Metallic Texture Rub Ons to add bling to the card. You will find all of these things in my Stampin' Up! store . Be sure to download the Free Project Sheet for all the measurements.

This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.

No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work. I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold
