Darling Details, Perennial Lavender, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I got an email today with a notice telling me that my Stampin' Up! order is expected to be delivered on Friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because that notice can always change. But in today's mail I was gifted some fun Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Terri for the order I placed. Plus there's a fun fold card packet in it to put together too. I'll be doing that sometime this weekend. But for today I took one of those pieces of DSP from the "Perennial Lavender" pieces I was sent and made a super quick and easy card with it. Oh, there was also plenty of card stock included in the packet! Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Gorgeous Grape card stock (included), it opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I taped a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock to the inside (included). 

On the front I trimmed the DSP to 4" x 5-1/4" and taped it to the front of the card base.

The words are from the "Darling Details" set and were stamped using Gorgeous Grape ink. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. Then I punched out a Gorgeous Grape scalloped oval using the same punch. There's enough card stock to do the scalloped oval but I used a scrap piece I had so I could save the larger piece for a future card. I taped the two ovals together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

I added a couple of brass butterflies from the "Brushed Butterflies" package and the card was done.

This was a super quick and easy card to make. The DSP is beautiful and just makes it easy to create a lovely card all on it's own. I did order this DSP and can't wait to make a bunch of these cards to have in my stash.

Thank you so very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
