Welcome Stampin' Friends!
I love it when someone asks me to make a card for a special occassion, because I get to be a part of making their day special. That is how this card came to be, my dear friend and downline, Georgie, her husband contacted me and asked me if I could make a card for him to give her on their anniversary. I was thrilled to do it. I had previously made a birthday card for him to give to her and that was very well recieved, so I wanted to see if I could top that!
How it all started was with the Paper Doily. I had just got my Paper Doily Sizzlit (#125592) and am in love with it! I thought it would be great for a romantic anniversary card! But, where to go from there? I got my color inspiration from the Twitterpated DSP (#125406) and the idea it put the Apothecary Art image (#125527) on top of the doily from several other stampers on the www. And then it all started to come together. I knew it was going to have to be a big card for the Large Scalloped heart from the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies (#125599) to fit on there. So this card is 6"x6". That lead to another issue, what to put it in. I did not have an envelpe for a 6"x6" card! But I do have the new DIAGONAL SCORE PLATE (#125586)!!!
My envelope was 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" and scored at 4-1/2" on all 4 sides. My card fit perfectly!
Here is a video from Stampin' Up! on how to make envelopes using the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate (#125586).
And here is my card with it's lovely pink envelope!
