Directions:
1. Cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Whisper White Paper and fold it in half. This is your card base.
2. Use a Stampin Up Crushed Curry Stamp Pad to blot on the ink.
Tip: Background Blotting Demonstration can be viewed in this video.
3. Cut out a large Scallop Circle using the Circle Framelits and Old Olive Cardstock.
4. Score the Scallop Circle at 3″.
Tip: Its easier to score and prep your scallop circle before running it through your Big Shot and Embossing folder.
5. Using the Woodgrain embossing folder and your Stampin Up Big Shot to add emboss and add texture to your scallop circle.
6. Use adhesive to glue the base of the scallop circle to the back of your card.
Tip: The scallop circle should cover the open side of your card.
7. Use the 4th circle framelit counting inward…starting with you scallop circle as #1. I cut this circle out of Whisper White Cardstock.
8. Stamp your greeting in Old Olive
Tip: Its easier to line up the rest of your images if you stamp your greeting first.
9. Next stamp your Soft Suede tree with birds.
10. Ink up your flowers with Crushed Curry and stamp off on scrap paper and then stamp on your circle.
11. Use either adhesive or stampin dimensionals to add this circle to the top of your old olive embossing scallop circle.
12. Use your piercing tool to poke a hole for your antique brad.
Tip: Keep in mind you want to place the bard close enough to the circles so that you can tuck them under the brad to create a clasp.
Tip: You also want to use a mini glue dot and add your linen thread to the card before adding your antique brad. Its easier!
13. Using scrap paper and your crushed curry stamp pad to blot some extra ink for your flowers. I used the itty bitty punches for the flower.
14. I embellished my flowers with a pearl embellishment.
15. I also punched a 1-3/4″ circle and stamped the crushed curry flower on it just like I did the front of the card. This will hide the back of your brad.

I love this card. There are so many possibilities. I truly agree with fellow stamper, BJ, that your cards are so classy beautiful and not all pumped up with so many places to look , you lose focus of the card. Really like your tutorials. Great Canada angles and easy to follow. Thank you

Hi Brandy,
I just saw your video tutorial and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your card.
It is just so beautiful.
I also immediatly had the idea of making this card with blue colors as a Baby Boy card
and then stick a little envelop to put some money in on the inside.
Often they give money instead of presents.
But i also want to make one just like yours.
By the way, I love it that you talk so much in your videos, although I don’t always understand 100% of it.
Especially some words whith which I am not familiar with.
Anyway thx a million for this beautiful card and great idea.
Greetings,
Veerle – Belgium
I love seeing your videos they are so lively. They make you want to stamp. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for your videos, i look forward to receiving them. I don’t have much success with stamping, blur them and get lines around, but I use the other ideas in your cards. You truly have a God given talent, thanks again for sharing it.
Love this card Brandy! So pretty. I can’t find you on Instagram though. And do we just do #brandyscards in our photos?

Love this card. I’m glad you showed an embellishment of sorts on the inside of the card. Please show more of the stamping and embellishments you use on the insides of cards and on the envelopes that go with the cards. I’m pretty sure a great cardmaker like you wouldn’t send a naked envelope.
Thanks
