Beautiful Magnolia Image

Nov 29, 2019 | occasion, Shop, Stampin Up, Sympathy, Thankful, thinking of you, Tutorial | 0 comments

You can create a beautiful magnolia image on a card super fast.  I received a similar card last month from a member of my Demonstrator team. My jaw dropped as it was SO simple yet so elegant and perfect just as it was. I had to make some for myself as birthday thank you notes and I sent them out.

I chose a light color so I could write on the inside. Any light color works (the card I received from my downline was Balmy Blue) OR choose a darker color and use a Whisper White or Very Vanilla cardstock piece to write on and adhere inside (4″ x 5-1/4″).  Wouldn’t the Seasonal Wreath 3D embossing folder look great as a holiday note card or thank you? (pg. 199 of our annual catalog or see it HERE).  If you make groups of these, they are wonderful gifts if you insert them into our Acetate Card Boxes (noted below).

Supplies:
Stamp set: Good Morning Magnolia (149298)
Ink: Soft Sea Form Classic Stampin’ Pad (147102)

Soft Sea Foam card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″ then fold crease with Bone Folder

  1. Run Soft Sea Foam cardstock and Magnolia 3D embossing folder (using the 3D Embossing Folder Plate) through your die-cutting machine.
  2. Fold card.
  3. Using Soft Sea Foam ink, stamp corner of the front of Whisper White Medium Envelope.
  4. For gift giving: make sets and insert into Acetate Card Boxes (each holds up to 5 sets of cards with envelopes). See them HERE. Note that the wording is incorrect on that one item; the box holds USA standard A2 cards and envelopes. It measures 4-7/16″ x 5-13/16″ x 5/8″.

 

Remember, you do not have to invent the wheel to be creative, just copy this project! Did you make it with your own hands? Then you have created!
