Happiness Shared with Elements of Style Background


I made this adorable card using my Stampin' Up! Happiness Shared, Elements of Style, and French Script stamp sets. I love how it turned out. The colors are really pretty together and it's so dainty, perfect for a little girl. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 5 3/4" x 8 1/2" piece of white card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of pink for the middle layer, a 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" piece of white for the front layer, a 1 3/4" x 4 1/2" piece of pink for the image background and a 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of white for the image.

Next create the background with the French Script background stamp in Stampin' Up! Pink Pirouette ink. Then stamp around the edges over the script background with the Elements of Style stamp in Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz inks. I achieved two colors on one stamp by coloring the stamp with markers or ink pads and a blender pen. Then set the background aside. Next heat emboss the flowers from the Happiness Shared stamp set on vellum with Versamark ink and white embossing powder then punch the bottom with a Martha Stewart Doily Lace edge punch. Next flip over the vellum and color the flowers with Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz inks then attach it to the piece of pink card stock. Next cut the small flap out of pink card stock with a Spellbinders Labels Seventeen die then cut off one of the shorter sides and attach it to the top of the strip with the flowers. Next add the self-adhesive pearls and ribbon. Make the bow with a mini bowdabra and attach a button to the center. Then finish assembling the card and enoy!
