Stylish Stems Simplicity

Don't you love when simplicity and beauty come together.  I love this card for it's simplicity and understated elegance. 



This beautiful set is one of my favorites from the 2017 Occasions catalog.  The stamp set is Special Reasons and comes with some wonderful sentiments and flowers.  (I love flowers as you've probably noticed). It also has some gorgeous flowers.  It reminds me of a zinnia.

  And the Framelits, well so many beautiful things can be made with it.


The detailed flowers cut the flower parts, but do not cut it out of the paper, as we did in the card.  If you want to cut the whole flower out (as below), after cutting the detail then use the Framelit to cut if out of the paper. 

Check out my video to see how easily this card goes together.  This card was born out of rethinking a gift box I had made.  My dear sister-in-law got me hooked on making gift boxes. (check out my next video on how I made that). 



I loved the cards I made for the box.

I loved the cards that I made this box for, but didn't think they went together that well, so..... yes once again I woke up with this idea.  Making new cards!  And a new box for the other cards!  LOL, love when I get an idea that comes together. 

Here are the dimensions for the card:


 Whisper White:
  • 1 pc. 8-1/1" x 5-1/2"
  • 1 pc 4-1/2" x 3-1/4"
  • 1 pc 4-1/4" x 5-1/2 this can be dry embossed with the embossing folder of your choice or, I used a piece of retired Irresistibly Yours DSP
DSP
  • 1 pc. 4-3/4" x 3-1/2"
  1. Fold the card base in half.
  2. Attached the 5-1/2" piece of Irresistibly Yours DSP or white embossed piece to the front of the card base.  (I like to cut this just a smidge smaller, gives it a little more dimension and easier to layer.
  3. Die cut the flower, about 1/2" from the top and the sides. 
  4. Stamp the sentiment in Basic Black or Momento Black, I used Suite Sentiments, also in the 2017 Occasions catalog (love this set)
  5. Adhere the die cut piece to the DSP
  6. Wrap a piece of ribbon around the bottom and attached to the back with some snail.  I used the gold ribbon from ribbon combo in the Sale-a-bration catalog.
  7. Tie a smaller piece of the same ribbon around the wrapped piece. Trim the ends
  8. Attach some Dimensionals to the back of layered die cut piece.
  9. Attach the layered die cut piece to the front at an angle
  10. Adhere a little sequin with a glue dot, I used an iridescent white one, but you could use whatever your little heart desires.  One of the metal rimmed pearls would look great here too!
Voila!  You are finished! 

I also used the small flower and leaf from the stamp set and stamped a flower and two leaves on the lower right corner of the inside of the card and also on the flap of the envelop.  These were stamped in Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz.

For the card set I made two of these in the pink and two in green DSP.
