Indescriable Gift

Indescribable Gift was a stamp set offered in last year's Occasions catalog. The top card also uses the Pleasant Poppies stamp. This layout is CASE from Dawn Olchefske. I had some strips of vellum (from Sale-A-Bration) laying on my work table and used them along the right edge of the Designer Series Paper. This is some more DSP from that retired pack I used yesterday. I cut envelope liners but haven't adhered them to the envelopes yet.

Indescribable Gift Peeking Out

Here's another card using the Indescribalbe Gift stamp set. I saw a similar card by Vicki Burdick on Pinterest. So, had to give it a try. It does require a bit of fussy cutting. The expression and ribbon are both retired. The original card by Burdick used the scallop punch and card stock rather than the ruffle trim. I have so much of this ribbon that I decided to use it. Any number of greetings would work as would any number of punches.

Indescribable Gift

Today's card was made using the Indescribable Gift stamp set. I wanted this set because I liked the Easter expressions included in it. I didn't really think too much about the images. But once I got it in my hands I have really liked using it for all sorts of cards. The images are beautiful and you can do so many different things with them. They look pretty just stamped as a background, too.
I saw a similar layout online and stamped the image and cut the squares (image and mat). Then I went to place them on my card at an angle and realized they were way too big. So, I figured I'd have to turn them and just line them up and add the elements below. But that looked pretty boring to me, so decided to just cut off the top edge and make it fit that way. I like the way it turned out. I've used Pistachio Pudding ribbon (retired) and colored with Pistachio Pudding and Strawberry Slush markers. A few pearls give the card some balance.
