The beautiful blue bouquet on today’s card was made using the Beautiful Bouquet Bundle (Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies.) Using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Pearl Basic Jewels, and wrapping the flower stems with ribbon can give some thickness to the card. To mail it, simply lay a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of card stock over the front of the card before inserting it into the envelope. You can also pay more to have the envelope hand cancelled, instead of run through the automated postal machines.
