I used one of the Eastern Palace medallions for the flower in Daffodil Delight and the center was embossed using the Petals Burst Embossing Folder.  I added some Gold Wink Of Stella for glitter.

Triple Layer Technique

Today's card uses the Triple Layer Technique.  It looks like it would be hard to do but its very easy.  

Check out the two cards below. Aren't they elegant. The Happy Anniversary is the one I made on the video. Its for my parents who are celebrating their 62nd wedding anniversary tomorrow.  

I used Sweet Sugarplum ink for the flowers on this card.

Oh So Succulent Thank You Card

Below are the steps to create this card.  

  • Stamp succulents in Sweet Sugarplum, Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral.  I stamped off with the backgrounds to get the lighter color and then stamped full strength with the detailed stamps.  I did the same for the greenery in Pear Pizzaz.
    (P.S. TIP: To stamp off, just ink up your stamp full strength and then stamp on scratch paper, then onto your card stock.  That takes a layer of ink off the stamp to get a lighter look. 
  • Using the Big Shot, cut out all the succulents pieces using the matching Succulent Framelits Dies.
  • Using the Big Shot, cut large wreath from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies in Early Espresso Card Stock.
  • On 5 x 3 3/4 Whisper White Cardstock stamp sentiment in Early Espresso Ink
  • Adhere wreath using the Fine Tip Glue
  • Adhere succulents and greenery using Fine Tip Glue and Dimensionals 
  • Emboss 5 1/4 x 4 Wild Wasabi Cardstock with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder
  • Adhere embossed piece to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Whisper White card base
  • Add wreath to card base to complete card.

  • Stamp Sentiment from So Very Much set on Very Vanilla card stock and cut banner edge
  • Determine where you want to place the Mint Macaron strip on the card and move it up just a tiny bit, then draw a very light pencil mark along it so you have a guide to stamp the edging with the flourish stamp across the card to make that border, stamp that in Marina Mist.
  • Adhere the Mint Macaron strip over the top edge of the border you just stamped
  • Determine where you want to put the Medallion and before adhering it, adhere the sentiment on the Very Vanilla strip under it
