Love For You Card for MMM Challenge

Hi, Stampers!

We have a new challenge starting at Make My Monday – “P is for …” – and mine is Purple. After seeing the Love For You bundle in the mini catalog, I knew that it would be in my forever stash because “Love you so much” is one of my grandson Noah’s favorite things to say and hear; it melts my heart every time! Then, I chose the beautiful patterned paper from the Enjoy The Journey designer paper that is in the current mini catalog. So, this card was specially made for Noah and his parents, who love to visit beautiful natural places when they get some time off of their very busy schedules.

Once you finish here, I hope you visit the Design Team gallery for some great inspiration and play along!

Create this card using Love For You by Stampin’ Up! DebbieMageed SecretsToStamping #LoveForYouStampinUp #FunFold #stampinup #sharesunshine #stampinupdemo #stampinupcards #stampinupdemonstrator

My secrets!

• Firstly, this 5-1/2″ square card started with Highland Heather cardstock, cut at 11″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 5-1/2.”
• After that, I cut the Enjoy The Journey paper into a 5″ square and layered it onto white cardstock. Then, I adhered the panel to the card base.
• Finally, to help the card stand so that it can be displayed easily, I cropped a piece of the Highland Heather cardstock to 5-1/2″ x 2″ and scored it at 1/2,” 1,” and 1-1/2″ then glued it to the bottom of the card.

And now, the fun part!

• Honestly, the designer paper does most of the work on this card, so all I had to do was cut the words from Highland Heather cardstock and lightly glued them to the large circle of white cardstock, cut from Stylish Shapes die.
• After that, I popped it up with dimensionals, I decided that one of the large trees from the Majestic Mountain dies would give a little more detail. So, I cut it out and colored it with the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends marker. Then, I lightly glued it to the card front.
• Finally, I inked up the bird stamp in Gorgeous Grape ink to give the scene a little life.

Then, on the flip side…

• After the front was done, then I cut Gorgeous Grape cardstock to make a 5-1/4″ square and layered white cardstock on top.
• Then, I inked up the sentiment from the Limited Edition stamp set with Gorgeous Grape ink.
• Finally, I cut another tree, colored it with the Smoky Slate marker and lightly glued it to the card.
