Here is another card made with the Happy Moments stamp set that you can earn for free from Stampin' Up! It is very elegant in its simple black and white style.
It is largely based on a card from another demonstrator, with just one slight twist in the "for you" sentiment.
The background was made with the French Filigree background stamp, using Basic Black ink on Whisper White cardstock. It was trimmed to 3" wide X 5-3/8". The Scallop Edge punch was used with Basic Black cardstock to create the scallop, and trimmed to 3/4" wide before attaching it to the back of the French Filigree piece. Then another piece of Whisper White was trimmed to 1-1/2" X 5-3/8".
Attach the plain Whisper White piece to the front edge of an A2 card (4-1/4" X 5-1/2") in Basic Black, leaving only 1/16" on the top, bottom and right edge. Then attach the French Filigree piece with the scallop edge, leaving 1/6" on the left, folded edge.
The birdcage is stamped with Basic Black on Whisper White, and trimmed to 2" wide X 2-1/4" tall, before using the Corner Rounder punch on each corner. Cut a piece of Basic Black to 3" wide X 2-1/2" tall, and round the two left corners with the Corner Rounder punch. Tie an 8" piece of Organza Ribbon to the right side.
Mount the birdcage image onto the black piece with Stampin' Dimensionals, and then mount the whole onto the card base, again with Stampin' Dimensionals, lining up the right edge with the edge of the card.
Now, here is where the new Clear Mount Stamps come in very handy: You can easily see where to place the "for you" sentiment where you want it on the lower right.
Add a piece of white cardstock to the inside of the card on which to write your message, and you have a beautiful card for any occasion!
