Hello, Irresistible Card

  

 

Welcome to our March Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are featuring our new Online Exclusive products! 😊

My favourite new Online Exclusive is the Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection, which is what I used to make this card. I absolutely love the dies, especially the circular one (used above), and the coordinating lines-with-circles die--they are so different! 

The inside of the card, with a white Stylish Shapes
circle to write your sentiment on.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is absolutely gorgeous, and many of the flowers and leaves on it can also be cut out with the dies! This is always a plus, and is a great time-saver! 

I also used one of our Around the Bend dies to cut the stitched edge at the right side of the card. Lori Willcox and I have an upcoming class using our Around the Bend Bundle, which is FREE with the purchase of the bundle in Canada! We have an option for people outside of Canada, as well! Register for this class below!

The directions for my card are below.

But first, be sure to check out my friends' beautiful creations below!!

Full Directions for my Hello, Irresistible Card:

1. Cut the following layers:
• Evening Evergreen cardstock: 11" x 4 1/4", scored at 5 1/2"
• Basic White cardstock: 2 3/4" x 1 1/4" (stamp sentiment with Evening Evergreen, and then die cut with Stylish Shapes banner die); 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" (die cut with largest Stylish Shapes circle die)
• Hello, Irresistible DSP: 5 1/4" x 4"
2. Place the circle die and the Around the Bend curved stitched die on the Evening Evergreen card front as shown, and cut.
3. Burnish the score line on the card base.
4. Place the DSP on the inside of the card, but do not adhere yet. Close the card. Align the largest Stylish Shapes circle die over the DSP so that it is centered beneath the die cut circle. Secure the die with low-tack tape, and die cut, setting the cut-out circle aside.
5. Adhere DSP to the inside of card, gluing the Basic White circle in the cut-out.
6. Adhere the DSP circle to the back of the Evening Evergreen card front, aligning it with the white circle on the inside of the card.
7. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom left of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
8. Tie a bow with 8" of Soft Succulent 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon, and add to card front with a glue dot.
9. Add several Loose Frosted Dots to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Hello Irresistible Thank You Card

  

Hello and welcome! I've entered this card in Kylie Bertucci's March International Blog Highlights contest! It is a Z-fold fun-fold card! I hope you like it--and, if you do, I'd be very grateful if you would vote for me, please! Please click on the button below to go to Kylie's blog, and vote by clicking on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#20), until you see the heart turn red. Thank you so much for your support!!

We have several brand-new products, which you can find in my online store in the Online Exclusives section. I have used our new Hello Irresistible suite, which I absolutely love! The dies are to die for (sorry for the pun! 😉)! The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is stunning, and the Loose Frosted Dots give the card a bit of shimmer! 

 

Another cool thing about the Irresistible Blooms stamp/die bundle is that the dies cut out many of the flowers and leaves in the DSP! The flower and leaves in the photo above were cut with the dies. And the circle die is so elegant! The only stamping on this card is the sentiment!

Thanks very much for stopping by--and for voting!!! If you like my card, please vote here--then remember to click on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#20) until the heart turns red--that way you know that your vote is registered:
