Today I am going to show you how to create a gorgeous card idea and how to create a matching envelope! I will be using the lovely Beauty of Friendship stamp set, the Beautifully Penned designer series paper, the yummy Timeworn Type embossing folder, and the Tailored Made Tags dies to create my card.
The Beautifully Penned paper has a watercolor look in various black tones, making it easy to use with any color or any style for your projects. I am featuring this paper on my project and for my envelope. The best part about this paper pack is that you can earn it for FREE with a qualifying order, but only until September 30.

I have used the Meadow dies a lot this summer because I love the wildflowers that you can create by mixing and matching the different pieces to get the right look for your creation.
A phrase from the Beauty of Friendship matches the occasion I need - this stamp set has a variety of phrases making it a great value for your crafting room. When you try this card idea at home you can change out the phrase to suit the occasion that is perfect for your needs.
I love the antique look of the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder - you can use it to add aged detail and texture to any project either as a layering piece or you can emboss an entire card front for a full-on look.
This is the first time I have used my Tailor Made Tags dies. I think this set is perfect to mix, match, and layer tags in different sizes and colors and for creating tags for any occasion you need: birthday cards, goodie bags, gift packages. You can stamp sentiments from your favorite stamp sets, then die-cut it out. Super easy!
Here's my card, along with the supplies to make it AND a video showing you how!
