Cuttlebug Birds & Swirls Card of Encouragement
I love to browse on Pinterest! Where else can you go from yummy recipes, to new nail colors, to exercise trends, to fabulous card ideas all in the matter of minutes (or hours depending on the day)? I was recently Pinspired by the card that you can see by clicking here. I wanted a card for a friend who needed some encouragement and I thought this would be perfect. Add my favorite color and the gorgeous Grey Gray crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl JAM's LG bundle and you have this pretty little card.
Supplies:
3 Girl JAM LG Bundle
Cuttlebug embossing folder - Birds & Swirls
Georgia Pacific white cardstock
CTMH - Smoky Plum ink
Paper Trey Ink - Boutique Borders Sympathy stamp and die; Plum Pudding cardstock
Recollections Cool Water card stock - Grey
Adhesives - foam tape and ATG
One of the best features of a card like this, is that you have enough to make 2 cards by simply using your left over pieces.
I felt like all the white needed a little extra pop so I added Crystal Stickles to the embossed images. I love how the clear Stickles take on a hint of purple from around the top of the card. It was so pretty that I didn't want to put the sentiment on the bottom and cover the simple elegance of the embossing. This one is definitely my favorite.
Be sure to check out the video where I show you how I lined up the 2 pieces to match the pattern. Also, head over to the 3 Girl JAM store and use the code CP10 for a discount. Click here to get there quickly.
