Who doesn’t need a little extra sunshine these days? What better way to make a friend or relative smile than by sending them a beautiful bright cheery card using the Ridiculously Awesome stamp set. It is super simple and fun!
All we need is some gorgeous DSP and a great sentiment from the Ridiculously Awesome stamp set, then add a little texture with a 3d embossing folder and a little bow. That’s it and you have a beautiful card to get off in the mail to that person you know needs a little cheering up or just for fun!
Run a 4 x 5 1/4 inch white panel through the embossing folder, die cut your white scrap for sentiment and punch out a small bloom from bumble bee scrap. Adhere the 3 x 5 1/4 piece of DSP to white panel, tie ribbon around and then tie knot. Next, adhere panel to the bumble bee card base. Stamp sentiment from the Ridiculously Awesome stamp set onto the die cut piece then pop up sentiment and punched flower with dimensionals. Add some Wink of Stella to the sun rays and the punched bloom for that extra sparkle. Then just a little bit of bling with a gold glitter enamel dot in the center of flower.
How cute is he? Oh I was so happy when I saw this little guy and the other adorable animals in the Warm & Toasty stamp set I just had to share this one in my first post. And I LOVE coloring! I am not an expert by any means but the Stampin’ Blends really do all the hard work for you. So let’s make this Warm & Toasty Simple Card.
Let’s Create This Adorable Card!
First you need to cut an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Cherry Cobbler, a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Crumb Cake and a 2 x 5 1/4 piece of Plaid Tidings DSP. Stamp the sentiment on Crumb Cake panel with Cherry Cobbler ink. Glue the DSP strip onto the Crumb Cake Panel and tie a bow with Whisper White Crinkled Seam ribbon. Glue the panel onto the Cherry Cobbler card base. Cut die shape from scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Stamp CUTE reindeer image with Black Memento ink, this is very important when using blends so the black ink does not bleed. Color reindeer body with the light and dark Crumb Cake Stampin‘ Blends and the horns and hoofs with Bronze blender. The bow is colored with the light and darkCherry Cobbler Blends. Pop your cute reindeer up with some dimensionals and you are almost there.
Give it some sparkle!
One final touch! Color the bow and little tail with Wink of Stella and make your card sparkle! I hope you can see that in the picture, but it just does not do it justice. Wink of Stella adds a beautiful sparkly shimmer and is stunning in real life. If you have not tried this yet, you really really need to. Such an easy way to take your card to the next level! I hope that you enjoyed making this Warm & Toasty Simple Card with me.
