Pretty Perennials ‘Happy’ card with video

I wanted to use the Pretty Perennials bundle for my April clubs and I found a card like this on Pinterest.  I love the fresh color combination of Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral!

Save

The Perennial dies were used here along with a few others; the recently retired Stitched Shapes and the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  The pretty embossing folder is the Dainty Diamonds and I'm sad to say it did retire last month. 

Here's the Pretty Perennials bundle.  This did not make it in the new Annual catalog and is retiring next month and it will be while supplies last.

I love this set for the flowers but the greetings are the star in my opinion.  There are so many ways to use the 'happy' with the rest of the words.  My favorite is 'Happy Mail'.  Who wouldn't love getting a card with that saying?  It could also be stamped on the outside of your envelope as well.  

Save

For the inside I used an oval die-cut and added a fun greeting from the Happiest of Birthday's set. 

Save

I made a quick video on putting this card together.  You can see it below.

• Another way to use the Border Basics dies – cut once for two card front!

  June 28, 2023

  Here's the third card I made for last week's live video; it also features the Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.  

  Save

  My colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Cherry Cobbler and White.   The flowers in this pretty designer paper are so real; you almost want to touch them.  

  You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

  Save

  The photo below shows both cards made with the same designer paper.  I loved this pattern so well I didn't change it up for the second card. 

  The greeting and hearts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.  

  Save

  The pretty scalloped stitched border is made with the Border Basics dies seen here. Start with a piece of White card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and cut it in half with the scalloped die-cut.  Now you have the start for two cards! 

  Below are all three cards made with this three products, all seen on the video below.

• Cut once for two card fronts with the Border Basics dies; video tips & tutorial too

  June 27, 2023

  I shared one of the cards I made in last week's video and here's another one. Both feature the same three products: Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.  

  Save

  I used the White die-cut leftover from the card I shared yesterday on this card; basically getting two cards from one die-cut!

  The Border Basics dies are wonderful and so versatile since they die-cut the stitched edge on both sides.  Below is a photo of the inside of the card: 

  Save

  The Celebrate, Happy Birthday, stars and present die-cuts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here: 

  Save

  Here are both cards I shared; each with a different piece of the Masterfully Made CS.  As you can see I added a thin line of card stock to rest the 'Celebrate' die-cut on. I love the effect!

  Save

  You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

  Save

  The photo below shows both cards; one cut for two card front! 

  Save

  I cut the right side of the card front off (on the left card) and used that piece on the card on the right. Essentially I cut the card front in half and added it to the card on the right, adding DSP underneath to show off the angles.  One cut; two cards!  

  You can see how I made this card on the video here.  Or click on the photo below to watch. Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on my YouTube channel here.
