Life is Beautiful Card

The wonderfully talented LeeAnn Greff created the original design, but I loved it so much, I had to CASE it!  The only thing I did differently since this card has a hint of Fall/Christmas colors, I added Red Rhinestones to give it the bling I usually add to my cards.

This card is one in the collection I'll be offering at my next In Home Card Class on Oct. 17-18.

This card design is perfect for the casual card maker. Not too many layers or too much stamping, but just enough for an amazing result. Besides stamps, ink, and paper you'll need the new Cut & Emboss Machine to run the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder through and to cut the Celebration Label Dies.

Here's a stamping tip: Cut off 2 side by side dots (larger dot and smaller dot) from the edge of the photopolymer dot stamp to be able to stamp your "apples". You can always add those 2 dots back on the clear block to make the stamp whole again.

Here's one more shortcut: Stamp the birdhouse with the Gray Granite ink on the Whisper White layer. Then with a scrap left from the die cut, stamp the birdhouse again in Real Red and fussy cut it out. Put a glue dot on the back and place on top of the gray one.

You result will look amazing too!
