It's a partly cloudy day outside today in Midland, Michigan. Our high temp for today is 37F with a low of 21F for tonight. The winds are WNW at 10 to 20mph.

My share for today is an Alternate Forever & Always Card that I designed using elements from my personal stash and from Stampin' Up!'s February 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Bouquet of Hope. Let's take a look:

I LOVE taking Stampin' Up! Kits and making Alternate Cards or Projects with them. And...as promised, I made an Alternate Card with my FAVE Card Base from the Bouquet of Hope Kit and used it for my Card Front Panel. It's so beautiful and, again, I would LOVE to see the Merry Merlot/Rococo Rose Flower pattern in a pack of Designer Series Paper. 😋😋😋

My Card Base is the Rococo Rose Card Base from the Kit.

I trimmed out the Vellum Frame from around the Vellum Rectangle in the Kit and adhered it to the Left side of my Card Base with Glue Dots. (I put the Glue Dots close to the right edge of the Vellum so that the Card Front Panel would hide the Glue Dots.)

My Card Front Panel is the Merry Merlot/Rococo Rose Flower pattern Card Base from the Kit and trimmed it out to measure 3-1/8" x 4-1/4". I adhered it to my Card Base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Using the Forever & Always Stamp Set, I stamped two Large Leaves and two Small Leaves in Just Jade Ink onto scrap pieces of Just Jade Cardstock.

I also stamped 'Forever &' in Just Jade Ink onto one of the Rectangle Labels in the Kit.

Using the coordinating Always Dies, I die cut out my four Leaves.

I also die cut out the Always Solid Image Die from Basic Black Cardstock and the Always Detailed Image Die from Just Jade Cardstock. I adhered the two die cuts together with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

And, I die cut out three Tiny Flowers from the Just Jade/Diagonal Striped Card Base and three Tiny Flowers from the Rococo Rose Card Base from the Kit.

I adhered my Label to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.

I adhered my Always Die Cut with Stampin' Dimensionals as shown in the picture above.

I adhered my four stamped Leaves with Mono Multi Purpose Glue by tucking them under two corners of my Card Front Panel as shown in the picture above.

I gave the Petals of the Rococo Rose Tiny Flowers a little curl and then adhered them to the Just Jade Tiny Flowers for Leaves. I adhered one on two Corners of my Card Front Panel and one to my Label with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.

I adhered a Small Black Adhesive Backed Sequin from the Kit to the Center of each Tiny Flower and two Large and one Small Sequin to my Card as shown in the picture above.

Make something Brilliant today!!!

Tell someone you LOVE them and/or give someone an AIR HUG today!!!

Have a Blessed Day!!!

PLEASE GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!

I recently discovered that people are using my cards and/or projects, duplicating them and entering them into challenges, using them for their own card classes and (using them on their blogs as their own creations) - Please give credit where credit is due. My cards and projects are my own creations and are not to be used in challenges, blog hops, card classes or sold at craft shows; etc., for profit. I don't mind if you duplicate my creativity to pass on to family members or friends as gifts or Occasions cards; but, PLEASE be considerate of others creativity! Thank you!
