  • The Gingham Gala DSP is 5 x 3/4 & 2 1/4 x 3/4 x 2.
  • The words "Life's too short..." is stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black ink, and the word Cake is colored with a Highland Heather Blend. The words in the middle panel are stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink.
  • The cupcakes are stamped with Early Espresso, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape ink.  One cupcake is stamped directly on the 5 x 3 3/4 card base, and the second cupcake is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White and cut out with the Call Me Cupcake Thinlits Dies. (Available March 1-31, 2019).  Tear and Tape is used to adhere the cutout cupcake to the narrow strip.
  • All done, and remember to decorate your envelope.

Let It Ride 
Valentine Card 
I made this card for my 11 year old granddaughter for Valentine's Day.  Gabby is an avid horse enthusiast, and when I saw Let it Ride in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog, I knew I just had to have it.
Recipe:
  • The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Basic Black scored at 4 1/4. 
  • The Real Red layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
  • The All My Love DSP is 5 x 3 3/4.
  • The Red Glimmer Paper is 3 3/4 x 2 3/4. (Even though it is retired from the SU catalog, I have lots left or I think the Rose Glimmer paper would look equally as beautiful).
  • The Whisper White on which the image is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink is 3 5/8 x 2 5/8.  I used Soft Suede and Black Stampin' Blends to color the horse.
  • The Happy Valentine's words are stamped with Real Red ink. (I meant to use the words from the Forever Lovely set)
  • All done, and remember to decorate your envelope.
