 Softly Sophisticated Bundle for my February 2024 Creative Therapy Classes

When I was looking for ideas for my February 2024 classes, I came across Jamie's card on Pinterest. I followed the path to Jamie's blog, Stamp it up with Jamie, post of 12/6/2023 and you can see her card Here.
The Softly Sophisticated Bundle is free with a $100 order and the Softly Stippled DSP is free with a $50.00 order during Sale-a-Bration until February 29, 2024.  Free is wonderful.

Recipe:

• The Shaded Spruce base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
• The Calypso Coral layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Basic White layer is 5 x 3 3/4.  I dry embossed this piece with the new Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder.  After that, I used a Blending Brush to add some Calypso Coral ink, starting from the bottom, to create an ombre look.  I adhered this piece to the Calypso Coral with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
• I used a piece of Basic White, a piece of Softly Stippled DSP and the largest of the Tailored Tag dies to cut out two tags.  I also used the same dies to cut out a Calypso Coral tag reinforcer to add to the Basic White tag.
• The Basic White tag is stamped with Shaded Spruce and Calypso Coral ink.
• I adhered the two tags together and added them to the card front with Dimensionals.
• I threaded some Natural Trim through the two tags and tied it together with White Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack and made a bow. 
• I stamped words from Crafting with You in Shaded Spruce on Petal Pink and punched it out with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch and added it to the card with Dimensionals.

• I used an Elmers glue stick, (any glue stick will work), and covered the entire stamped Basic White piece.
