A Moroccan Timeless Love Floral Phases Anniversary Card for my Hubby using Stampin' Up! Products

Today is a super quick tutorial as it is my Wedding Anniversary

We have been together 23 years, Marries for 16 Years

He is my Soulmate and Best Friend

And so this is his card for this year.

I began by using using a sponge brayer to add some subtle colour to the background with Dapper Denim Ink, to tie in the two halves of the card.

I used a combination of the Floral Phrases Stamp Set and the Timeless Love Stamp Set to get the sentiment I wanted on the card front.

I also stamped a sentiment inside the card

The designer Series Paper is called Moroccan & is why I chose to use Gold Ribbon to tie the two halves of the card together, and finally, used lots of teeny Basic Pearls to get more texture into the Card.

Moroccan Nights Are Better Together Emboss Resist Technique using Stampin' Up! Products

Hi Folks, I hope you are having a good day, and I also hope that today's card will give you a warm fuzzy feeling with the impact of the MOROCCAN Stamp Set and the EMBOSS RESIST technique using inks from the Regals Colour Collection.

I adore these rich colours, and for me it always signals that the transition from Summer to Autumn will be on us soon, I am also a BIG fan of middle eastern culture, from food, to silks and Spices. These things were my inspiration for today's card.

I used the Layering Circles Die to add a little added interest to the card, and mat that onto a die cut circle from the same Nestable Framelits Dies; this was then popped up using Stampin Dimensionals, before mounting onto the card base

You will find the Tutorial and List of Products used today, below

I would also love to see your own version of this card, so if you are not already following my Community Pinterest board, just click on the Pinterest board on the left hand side of my blog & select Follow. I will then send you an invite to begin pining on the board. All samples MUST have some Stampin' Up! products on them, and NO Digi Stamps

I look forward to seeing your creations

Floral Phrases Dapper Denim & Silver Foil Anniversary Card Stampin' Up! UK

It was my middle sons 2nd Wedding Anniversary this week, and I knew exactly which Stamp Set I was going to use ... and that would be

FLORAL PHRASES

This is one of the stamp sets new to this years Annual Catalogue, and I fell in love with it, the moment I set eyes on it. And of course, I just HAD to HAVE it he he

I went with Dapper Denim, just because I adore this warm Blue. Blue's have a tendency to be a little cool, but not this one. It sits nicely between Night of Navy and Marina Mist.

I coupled it with this Dapper Denim paper from the Affectionately Yours Suite, as it co-ordinates so well with today's colour scheme, and really sets off the Silver Foil Mat.

The Doily gives extra interest, and I stamped the floral accent onto onto a long narrow banner that I popped up on Stampin Dimensionals to give some added lift, and finished with some Silver Ribbon.

Tutorial is below
