More Messages Meets Sunflower

Stampin' Up! More Messages Bundle

My shares this week focus on making gorgeous and quick cards using Stampin’ Up!’s More Messages Bundle. See the image of the stamp set and coordinating die below. It’s part of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives offering.

Stampin' Up! More Messages Bundle

This one large stamp includes 18 different sentiments. Just stamp, die cut, and create. Store the extra pieces to use when you need a handmade card in a hurry.

For today’s card, I used More Messages in conjunction with Stampin’ Up!’s Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. (This folder has been extremely popular and has been in and out of stock. Please let me know if you want me to watch the inventory for you.)

Measurements and Details

  • Basic White cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Basic Black cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
  • White cardstock panel measuring 5 x 3 3/4, embossed with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder
  • Sentiment from More Messages heat embossed with WOW! gold embossing powder and die cut with coordinating die
  • Black & White & Gold Baker’s Twine
  • Traditional Sparkling Sequins (gold)

This next card sports an all-white look. The sentiments are heat embossed with WOW! gold and die cut with the More Messages Die. It looks so elegant, perfect for a wedding and/or congratulations card.
