When is the last time you were elbow deep in paper, ribbons, ink pads and stamps?
For me, it was about 30 minutes ago and I’m happy as a clam right now. It had been over a week since I had stamped anything and now I’ve stamped three days in a row! WOOHOOO!!!
I am on a roll and loving every minute of it. Five videos, eight cards total and WOW! Lots of fun!
Today’s card is another one in the Perfectly Preserved series. I’m calling this #4, but truly there have been more than four already. If you just scroll through this page and then next on my blog, you’ll find a few more fun ideas using this product bundle. Read to the end for information on getting your very own.
StampNation Members have a few other video tutorials with this bundle….it’s a full out Perfectly Preserved Pahr-tay!
This video tutorial is a bit longer than my normal. Probably because there is a lot going on here! My very favorite part of the card is the label. I made it using the Label Framelits and cutting it twice. View the video to see what I mean.

Omega & WOW! This one is gorgeous! Love the background and this color combination and the ribbon and greeting. Can I just say I love it all?!
TFS and for being so good to us!
Hi Catherine … I love this card, great job and thanks! I heard your comments about weird math calculations and have discovered the easiest way to solve this is right on the paper trimmer. The solution is to use the metrics (millimeters and centimeters). I started doing it a long time ago especially for scrapbooking and can’t ever go back to trying to divide something like 4 ¾ by 3! It’s a lot easier to divide 120 mm by 3 and cut each piece 40 mm (or 4cm). I can highly recommend how easy it is in case you want to check it out. Ellen
WOW! This card is over the top gorgeous! Love the colors and the vintage feel and look! Thanks so much, you are so good to us!! Very happy you have been having a blast in your stamp room too, means more inspiration for all of us.
Beautiful…love to watch you in action!
Love, love, love this card! Thanks so much for sharing!
Just saw this lovely card. The Summer Starfruit fits this set perfectly–makes me think of pears when I first saw it. Really appreciate your giving measurements of everything too. Have been to some classes that I never got as much as you offer~
Wonderful card! I love how you made the background paper. I have not seen any video using the wheel builder before. Thanks for showing how to use it.
This card is gorgeous! I love the stamped background. I am pinning it for future reference. Thanks for sharing the great tutorial.
Hi Catherine,
I love the colors in this card! I’m not good with the math either. I read Ellen’s comment and I’m still lost! lol
