Forever Greenery Suite and In Good Taste Suite

Hi all!  Today I'm sharing the projects I did on my Facebook Live this past Sunday.  The Forever Greenery and In Good Taste Suites have unlimited possibilities.  Here are just a few cards you can create using these Suites.

Love and Laughter Card

 

Supplies:

 

Stamps: Forever Fern

Inks: Soft Suede

Cardstock:  Very Vanilla – one piece cut to 1 1/8”” x 4 9/16” for Sentiment

Accessories: Very Vanilla Note Cards and Envelopes, Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper, adhesive

 

Directions:

 

Use Soft Suede ink to stamp the sentiment onto the 1 1/8” x 4 9/16” piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock.  Select the desired rectangular piece from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper and adhere to the front of the Very Vanilla Notecard. (when you punch out the rectangles from the specialty paper, save the small strips).  Cut the saved strips from the rectangular pieces of the Laser-cut specialty paper and adhere one strip to the top of the stamped sentiment image and one to the bottom.  Trim even with the side edges.  Adhere the sentiment image to the note card.

Just Saying Hello Card

Directions:

 

Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of designer series paper to the card front.  Use the Banners Pick a Punch to punch each end of the 1” x 5 ¼” piece of designer series paper and adhere it to the center of the card front. Adhere the ¾” x 4” piece of designer series paper about ¼” from the left edge of the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhere to the inside of the card.  Cut the die from the larger scrap of Whisper White.  Use Basic Gray ink to stamp the sentiment onto the die cut towards the right side (you will want room on the left side for the floral image to overlap).  Sponge Smoky Slate ink around the edges of the die cut.  Set aside.  Use Basic Gray ink to stamp the floral image on the remaining scrap of Whisper White.  Use the Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends to color the floral image.  “Fussy cut” out the image and sponge around the edges with the Smoky Slate ink to cover any white edges.  Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the floral image to the left side of the die cut leaving about half of the image off set.  Adhere this all to the card front.  Use the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend to color three pearls and adhere them to the upper right side of the sentiment.
