Complete Supply List for these Elegant Handmade Cards

Simple Handmade Hello Card

Here is the simple handmade hello card that I shared during the live video. I started by stamping the flowers and sentiment in Old Olive and Pool Party. I layered it on pieces of the Softly Stippled patterned paper. 

The Softly Sophisticated bundle comes with a stamp set and embossing folder. For the patterned paper layer in the back of this elegant handmade card, I embossed the Softly Stippled patterned paper with the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder.

To tie it all together, I added a piece of the Pool Party Crinkled Ribbon, This is another freebie that you can get with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration 2024.

Softly Sophisticated Thank You Card

Here is an interesting color combination that came straight from the Softly Stippled patterned paper. It's Calypso Coral and Wild Wheat. I'm trying hard to love Wild Wheat - or at least like it!

I cut a piece of the patterned paper with the Scalloped Contours dies to layer the floral image. I stamped the sentiment with Calypso Coral ink and then fussy cut around the sentiment. I added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For a little bling, I added a few Opaque Faceted Gems. Yet another item that you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2024!

Handmade Thinking of You Card

This handmade thinking of you card uses the same color combination of the last card with Calypso Coral and Wild Wheat. But, it's a little different because I didn't stamp the floral image. Instead, this is an image that comes from the Softly Stippled patterned paper. This pattern is black and white which lets you color the flowers in any color you wish. 

Like the first card, I embossed the Softly Stippled patterned paper with the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder to add a little more interest. I also added a few of the Opaque Faceted gems. 

Handmade Hello Card

I made this card a while back. Instead of using the Softly Stippled patterned paper, I used the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper. The flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral and Old Olive ink. 

You can see that I embossed the Petal Pink cardstock in the background with the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder. It's a fabulous embossing folder for creating a simple but elegant background.
