BIG HUGS

Today’s card features the new Peace on Earth Bundle and Peaceful Gardens Designer Series Paper.  I love this set which is featured in the September – December Mini Catalog.  It is always fun when you take a set that feels like it was created for Christmas but you find lots of new ways to use it, which is what I am setting out to do.  I found a card created by Kim McGillis from the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team and used it as my inspiration for this card.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut piece of Cloud Cover cardstock to 2 5/8 x 4” and embossed it with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder and I cut a piece of the Designer Series Paper also at 2 5/8 x 4”.  I attached these two pieces together with just a little tape to make them 4 x 5 ¼” and wrapped a piece of white ribbon (from my retired stash) around the seam of the two pieces (or you could use the coordinating Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon for this) and attached that to the card base.  Using the coordinating Dies I die cut the large label and two of the doves and one envelope out of Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the label with the sentiment “Big hugs for a good friend” from the stamp set in the bundle with Secret Sea Ink and attached it to the center of the card using Dimensionals.  For the doves I used a little Pecan Pie Ink and a Blender Pen to create the beak and .4mm Journaling Pen (for some reason I can't put a link in for it below but the item number is 166647) to create the eyes.  I attached these to the card using Dimensionals also.  I added one of the olive branches from the die set cut out of Cloud Cover cardstock to one dove and the envelope I die cut out of Basic White to the other dove. 

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a little strip of the Designer Series Paper that measured ½ x 4”. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
