Last week my hubby and I celebrated our 27th Wedding Anniversary...

 

and just for the record... NO I AM NOT SHORT.. I'm almost 5'-8".. Eric and Jason LOVE to call me SHORT STUFF. 

Here is the card I made Eric in My Digital Studio. I added lots of embellishments to it.

Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder, pg 191, #130917

I curled the LOVE banner with my bone folder (like you curl "curling ribbon") and then added double high Stampin' Dimensionals under the center of it to make it stand up higher.

In addition to the background piece created and printed in My Digital Studio, I added a piece of Crushed Curry Designer paper to the bottom 1/3 of the card, a piece of Smoky Slate Chevron ribbon tied in a knot, a LOVE banner (from the Bloomin Bouquet Kit) AND>> what's a card without Crushed Curry Candy Dots!?  :) It's mounted onto Smoky Slate cardstock and a folded Basic Gray card.

REGARDING DAHLIAS... perhaps my NEW FAVE set

I have a TIP for you today...

this is an inexpensive way to "create a layer" without adding more paper...

Use the FINE POINT of your Stampin' Write marker from Stampin' Up!

and a straight edge to draw a border around your piece of cardstock...

Find a straight edge that has a BEVELED EDGE so that the ink doesn't get sucked under the edge and smudge on your cardstock (Patty's FAVE:  check office supply stores or college bookstores in the drafting dept for a drafting triangle with a beveled edge). 

I have a great selection of these triangles since I was a structural and architectural drafter for 19 years of my life... this was so theraputic for me... took me back to those days of drawing!

I stamped the REGARDING DAHLIAS image in Real Red, and layered it on Bermuda Bay cardstock and onto a piece of designer paper from the Quatrefancy package, then on a 4x4 Bermuda Bay card... what a neat contrasting color combo!!

Use BRIGHTS CANDY DOTS to dress up your finished card!
