I have two cards to show you today, starting with one using Modern Blooms. This card started with a Black Licorice card stock base, 4 1/4” square. next up is a Sweet Tooth card stock layer on which I stamped images from Modern Blooms. After I had them all stamped the way I wanted, I centered the middle size Stitched Circle Frames Die-namics and cut it out. I Then I cut out four more from Sweet Tooth card stock, glued them all together with the stamped copy on top and reinserted it into the circle cut-out, lining up the stamped images, then popped it up on the card base with foam mounting tape. I stamped a sentiment from lJD You’re the Sweetest inside the circle with Black Licorice dye ink. I cut a flower and two leaves from Sweet Tooth card stock with Modern Blooms Die-namics and popped them up on top of the corresponding flower stamped on the circle. I finished off with a few clear sequins.

On the INSIDE, I stamped another sentiment from LJD You’re the Sweetest

My second card uses the elegant Sentimental Flourish Frame Die-namics as the focal element.

This card started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then I added a Sweet Tooth card stock layer that was stamped with Simply Circles Background and Grout Gray dye ink, then popped up on foam mounting tape. I cut Sentimental Flourish Frame Die-namics from Grout Gray card stock five times, glued them all together for dimension and strength with a Quickie Glue pen, then added the “frame” done the same way with Blu Raspberry card stock. I popped it up on foam mounting tape on top of some Blu Raspberry grosgrain ribbon and it was done! Simple but elegant!

On the INSIDE, I stamped a sentiment from lJD Grand Greetings
