Joyful Fleur de Lis Swirls

Happy birthday, Julie! My friend turned 31 in June, and only recently posted it on her blog, so I'm sending her this belated card. It's similar to the Father's Day card I made for my husband. We made this particular design at my monthly card-making soiree which I host. I liked using the red prefolded note cards from Michael's, sold in packages of 20, in a variety of colors. It matched Stampin' Up's Real Red close enough, since I just had a little bit of red. It's a bit larger than my standard cards, measuring 4.5" x 6.25." Here are a few other details.

  • Paper: Confetti Cream, Basic Black, Real Red by SU, The Paper Studio Black & Cream Ornate Leaf from Hobby Lobby, cream and black striped gift wrap, and Simply Paper by Gartner Studios folded cards, size A6, red
  • Stamps: Timeworn Trim, Small Sayings, Linen background by SU
  • Tools/accessories: Sewing machine stitching, red brads

If it's not "BAROQUE," don't fix it!

I'm a sucker for silly lines and this was so irresistible. I love my Baroque Motifs set and whipped up another matching card similar to the one I did yesterday, with new colors. Next, I designed the other turquoise and black card to match. These are some of my favorite color combinations.

  • Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Small Sayings by SU, Live, Love, Laugh by American Art Stamps-Kathleene Callei
  • Ink: Basic Black, Stazon Jet Black, Whisper White by SU
  • Papers: Basic black, naturals white, tempting turquoise cardstock by SU, DP from Hobby Lobby
  • Accessories: Turquoise grosgrain ribbon, black hemp twine by SU, gems from Hobby Lobby, random buttons
