Hi Stampers. Have you been as busy as I have? Seems like Christmas is getting here faster and faster each year! I’ve been creating Christmas cards like crazy. I had a class last night for 12 people registered (but I prepared for 18, just in case….), they each made 9 cards each (3 designs, 3 of each design). That meant cutting out pieces for 162 cards… and that was just the one class!

For today’s post – I decided to go non-Christmas and make this simple rose card. It’s a very elegant look, yet it’s super easy!

It starts out with a Rich Razzleberry card base (8.5″ x 5.5″, scored at 4.25″). Next is a 4″ x 5.25″ layer of Whisper White. I used the large rose die from the Rose Garden Thinlits and placed it on the layer and ran it through the big shot. I then removed the cut outs from the rose and leaves. I then placed the die cut and one side onto the card base. I glued it down using the find tip glue pen.

This gave the front of my card a simple elegance look that I just love!

For the inside of the card I used a 5.25″ x 4″ layer of Whisper White card stock and stamped the verse from the Rose Wonder stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink. I then stamped the leaves (from the same stamp set) across the upper right and lower left corner in Garden Green ink. I then lined a medium Whisper White envelope with some Rich Razzleberry designer series paper to go with it.
