February Class Card #3 Celebrate You!

Hi!  Thanks for stopping by! I am busy trying to catch up on all the cards we made in class in February.  Too much going on between doctor appointments, Bible study, doing taxes and a plethora of other little things.

The third card we made at our regular class is sweet and simple.  It would be quick to make up a few of these to have on had. 


I love this card, though I did use three different stamps sets to get the look that I was going for.  The "celebrate" is from the Sale-a-bration stamp set Amazing You.  This is part of a bundle that you can get with a $100 purchase or you can get it individually with a $50 purchase.  The "Amazing You" is bundled with the "Celebrate You" Thinlits dies. 

Stampin' Up! introduced Level 2 items for the first time.  There are thre Level 2 sets this year.  In addition to this one there is also "Happy Wishes" stamp set (2 sets of stamps) and in the second release there is the "Blossoming Basket Bundle" which includes a Basket Weave embossing folder. 

Here's a quick video on this bundle:

DIRECTIONS:

The base is Whisper White, the background layer is from the Sweet Soirée DSP (Designer Series Paper) pack, the Whisper White oval is die cut with the largest Stitched Shapes oval, it is popped up with some Dimensionals. 

  • The sentiment (from "Amazing You") is stamped in Melon Mambo
  • The leaves stamped in Pear Pizzaz (from "Sure Do Love You")
  • The heart is stamped in Marina Mist (from "Heart Happiness")
The card is embellished with whisper white ribbon (retired). It is wrapped around the DSP and affixed with some snail.  I snip off a smaller section of ribbon of about 4" and tied around the other piece of ribbon.

TIP:  I find if I run a 1" strip of Snail along the edge of the card, I have plenty of Snail to affix the ribbon and don't have to worry about getting exactly on the snail (if I were to run it perpendicular) to the edge.  I have seen some trying to match it up exactly.  Doing it this way is much less stressful.
