Stitched All Around Flower Lace Day

I made this pretty, lacy birthday card for my mother-in-law this year.  It's really quite easy thanks to the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and Stitched All Around Bundle.  I did alter the paper piece a bit by rolling an inky Sponge Brayer across it.

  Uses Stitched All Around Clear-Mount Stamp Set plus Whisper White Cardstock, Petal Pink Classic Stampin' Pad, Petal Pink Cardstock, Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin' Pad, Blackberry Bliss Cardstock, Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper, Faceted Dots, Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack (Petal Pink 1/4" ribbon), Sponge Brayers, Clear Block D, Grid Paper, Paper Snips, Paper-Piercing Tool, Take Your Pick, Stampin' Trimmer, Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tear & Tape Adhesive, Silicone Craft Sheet, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Bouquet Bunch Framelits, Stitched Labels Framelits, Big Shot Die Brush, Magnetic Platform, and Standard Cutting Pads.

Here is a link to the directions for the Stitched All Around Flower Lace Day card.

Tip:  When you first get your beautiful Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper, go ahead and cut apart the sheets with multiple designs on them using your Stampin' Trimmer or Paper Snips.  Then, store the pieces of each design in a 6" x 8" Cellophane Bag.  Stick the cellophane bags with the pieces in them in the plastic wrap around the pack of paper.  This will help store the pieces neatly so that all the little delicate bits don't get bent, torn, or entwined.
