Dandelion Wishes

stamps used:  Stampin' Up Dandelion Wishes stamp set, Dragonfly Dreams (bee dies)

Had fun with this stamp set.  We decided for all of us to use the same stamp set and see what happens.  Here are my cards.  I went back and forth with different designs but decided on pretty pink bees flying over the dandelions.  Also though the pink and grey cardstock went well together.  

Below you will see another design I did with this same stamp set.


This is what I call a panel card.  That just means I stamped the images on a white panel then cut it into three separate panels, then layered onto purple layer before adhering it to the final card base.


I also made a few with the All in One card/envelope design.  You can see more All in One card/envelope cards here.  

Thanks for stopping by.  come back again soon.

All in one card/envelope

 stamps used: Stampin' Up


















This is a unique card that it is a card and an envelope all in one.  I've made this card in the past ... when I say the past I mean at least 15 years ago but back then I made it BIG!  had to use paper from a Bristol board pad that was 9 x 12!  that's how big it was and yes, it needed extra postage.  These card are scaled down to a A2 (5 1/2" x 4 1/4") card so goes through the mail with just one stamp.

stamps used:  Stampin' Up

basic instructions:
base card:  5 1/2" x 11"
score at 2 1/2" and 6 3/4" - my tip for this step is just score at 2 1/2"... next mark with pencil at 2 3/4" and cut out the pointed top of envelope... then bring the bottom up to the scored line and fold, this way it will match up easier.  Whenever I scored at 6 3/4" and folded it didn't match up so I would have to trim off a bit but by not scoring and just bringing up the bottom to the score line .... viola! worked every time.
On short side of card make a mark at 2 3/4"
Cut from mart to score line to form the pointed top of card.
Easy peasy.  that's it now all you need do is stamp as you like.
