Hi this is Maria. Today we’re making a 5 simple cards that you can make quickly. All you need is beautiful paper, and a few sentiments. I use punches, but you can get by without them.

Craft with me!

Easy step by step instructions on YouTube so that you can watch, pause as needed, and craft along.

Measurements:

• Basic White  8 ½ x 5 ½ in, scored and folded in half to 4 ½ x 5 ½ in
• Old Olive 8 ½ x 5 ½ in, scored and folded in half to 4 ½ x 5 ½ in (cut two)
• Crushed Curry 8 ½ x 5 ½ in, scored and folded in half to 4 ½ x 5 ½ in (cut two)
• Rich Razzleberry 4 ¼ x 5 ½ in (minus a smidgin)
• Dainty Flowers DSP 4 x 5 ¼ in (cut 5)
• Basic White scrap paper

Instructions:

1. Cut your paper to size. Insert the finished piece into the picture frame.
2. Assemble card 1:
   1. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the Rich Razzleberry layering piece to the white card base.
   2. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere one of the Dainty Flowers DSP to the card front.
3. Assemble card 2 & 3:
   1. Use liquid glue to adhere the Dainty Flowers DSP to the Old Olive card bases.
4. Assemble card 4 & 5:
   1. Use liquid glue to adhere the Dainty Flowers DSP to the Crushed Curry card bases.
5. Use Memento Black Ink to stamp the sentiments on the scrap of Basic White. Leave room around the sentiments to accommodate the punch.
   1. I used Happy Easter, So Proud of You, and Happy Mother’s Day from the Celebrating You stamp set. 
   2. I used Happy Birthday and With Deepest Sympathy from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.
6. Use the Double Oval Punch to punch out the 3 ovals around the smaller sentiments.
7. Use the 2 in Circle Punch to punch out 2 circles around the larger sentiments.
8. Use the Decorative Circle Punch to punch out one Crushed Curry and one Rich Razzleberry to go behind the sentiments on the 2 in circles.
9. Use the scallop from the Double Oval Punch to punch one Crushed Curry and two Basic White scallops. Dip the edges into coordinating Old Olive Ink to match the card bases.
   1. Use the same color as your card base for a coordinating layer behind the sentiment. If you don’t have enough colored paper, then use a coordinating ink pad to add the same color as the card base to Basic White and use that as the background punched paper.
10. Attach the white cutouts to the colorful cutouts with liquid glue, then place the layers sentiments on your card fronts with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
11. That’s it! You’ve made 5 beautiful cards!
