Stampin' Up! Forever Greenery Friendship Card

This suite is SO pretty!  I have been hoarding it.  For me, it's just one of those that you have to take out and look at all of the elements a few times to get past the prettiness and wrap your mind around the possibilities.  I should have just jumped in and started creating simple things, but I just got so overwhelmed.  It finally all came together for me, though, with this card.  I love how it's so easy to create something so elegant!


So, in the video I struggle a little with the sentiment.  In my sample, I used two different die sets, but I wanted to streamline for you and just use one.  I finally figured it out, but I used a little trick that allows you to adjust the size of the element cut out by a die, to better fit your stamp set.  I really think I should have made the die-cut a little taller so that it would go with the gold banners a little better.  They don't quite fit.  Below is my sample card.  That staggered height between the banner and the sentiment piece is what I was going for.  It's a really fun technique.  Check out my video and then try it yourself.  Let me know how it goes!  It really opens up a lot of possibilities for your creativity.
