Wildflower Birthday, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Just like the "Storybook Moments" Designer Series Paper (DSP) this "Wildflower Birthday" package of DSP has punch-outs too. Two pages and they are beautiful. I used one two posts ago to make a get well card and today I thought I'd play with the papers again and make a wedding card. Please read on to see how I put today's card together.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Blueberry Bushel card stock for the layer. In the center of that piece I cut the shape from the center of the card stock using the "Countryside Corners" dies. I used the second largest one.

For the Basic White piece I used the third largest die and I textured it using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. I glued the Basic White piece to the Blueberry Bushel piece.

I cut a piece of DSP from the "Wildflower Birthday" 12" x 12" package that measures 3-3/4" x 5". I taped it to the Blueberry Bushel piece and then that was taped to the front of the card.

The cake piece was popped out from the die cut page. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on top of the Distressed Tile piece. Dimensionals were added to the back of the Blueberry Bushel piece and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I was looking through my stamps to see if I had anything with a "Mr. & Mrs." on it but no luck so I went to my computer and printed them out. I used the RGB color code to get the ink to print as close as possible to the Blueberry Bushel color. The code numbers are R=0, G=88, B=152. I printed them out on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the second smallest circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set. The next size larger was too big for the layer so I took out my old (retired) circle die set and cut a circle just a hair larger than the word piece. I taped them together. I set them on the front of the card using Dimensionals on the right side and tape (should have been glue) on the left side. I set it in place on the front of the card and the card was done. I had a scrap of Blueberry Bushel card stock or I would have just cut the circle from the piece behind the "Distressed Tile" textured piece. I'm on a mission to use up a lot of my scraps too and trying not to make any more unless absolutely necessary. 

This was such an easy and fun card to put together. I love these cut-outs and can't wait to play with them again. I need a birthday card soon and I'll see what I can come up with using these cut-outs.

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