Welcome to Makeover Monday!!

Today’s card is a “stepped up” version of yesterday’s Simple Sunday card. Whether you are a simple crafter or prefer more detail on your cards, I have something for you every week.
The image is stamped in Memento Ink and colored with Real Red and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. The image is very easy to color, because the shading is done for you in the stamp itself.

If you don’t recognize the Designer Series Paper, it is the from the Playful Pets Pack. I simply used the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Dark Marker to color in between some of the lines.
There are several layers on this card including the circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies and the Layering Circle Dies. The scalloped border is part of the Prized Peony Bundle.

Here is a peek at the inside.

Welcome to Makeover Monday!!

I can’t seem to get enough of these adorable die cuts. They are so easy to work with to make quick and very cute cards!!

When you bundle the dies with the stamp set, you save 10%. The option of bundling and saving 10% is only available in the catalog that it is first introduced in.

To step up this card, I added several die cut flowers, a sentiment that is die cut with the Hippo & Friends Dies, and several Holiday Rhinestones.
The inside of the card has die cuts as well!!

Here are the cutting dimensions for this card:
Basic White, 4-5/8 X 3-3/8
Basic White, 4-1/2 X 3-1/4
Pool Party DSP, 1 X 5-1/2
Basic White, 1-3/4 X 2-3/4
Pool Party, Basic White, & Pear Pizzazz scrap

Welcome to Makeover Monday!! (a day late)
The photos of this card don’t show a huge difference from the Simply Sunday version. However, I did add some elements that I will point out.

I change the die cut behind the sentiment to Gold Foil and added one as well. In addition, I added a die cut from the Peaceful Moments Bundle and some gold twine from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.

The inside of the card has an added piece of Gold Foil.
I hope you enjoyed this week’s Simple Sunday and Makeover Monday cards.

I love added detail on a card. By adding a few elements, you can dramatically change the look of your card.

The image is heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder and watercolored with Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay Ink. I added a few layers, a die cut and a second butterfly that I fussy cut and placed directly over the original.
The inside is simple, but elegant.
