Today I decided to play with the Simply Marbelous Designer Series Paper and the In the Moment Stamp set. Stampin’ Up! never disappoints when it comes to fun fresh new products and that is certainly true of both of these. The Simply Marbelous Designer Series Paper is a package of 48 papers that are 6 x 6 and two sided in 6 different designs and the best thing they are free during Sale-a-bration (through February 28th) with a qualifying $50 purchase.
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Highland Heather cardstock that is cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. The first mat is 4 x 5 ¼” and was cut from Gorgeous Grape cardstock and the second mat is the Designer Series Paper Cut to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8”. Attach the first and second mats together and wrap some of the white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around them three times and tie in a square knot on the right side of the layers. This can now be attached to the base.
To decorate the card, I stamped my image
from In the Moment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that measures 2 ½ x 2 ½”
using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I then
colored it in using the Stampin’ Blends listed below. I attached this to a square I die cut using
the retired Layering Squares dies (if you don’t have them, it is fine just cut
a square to 2 ¾ x 2 ¾”) to cut out a piece of Gorgeous Grape and attached my
stamped image to it. I then popped it up
on the center of the card using Dimesionals.
Next, I stamped my sentiment “YOU’RE IN MY THOUGHTS” onto a scrap of
Basic White cardstock using Highland Heather ink and die cut it using one of
the dies from the Pretty Pillowbox dies (again you could simply cut a rectangle
if you don’t have the die) and I popped it up on the bottom right using Dimensionals. For my final embellishment I added three of
the Pastel Pearls to the card.
For the inside I cut a piece of Basic
White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a strip of the Designer Series Paper that
measures ¾ x4” (one of the scraps from the piece I cut earlier) to the bottom
of it. For the envelope I made my own
marble by stamping the envelope flap with Gorgeous Grape ink using one of the
stamps from the Artistically Inked stamp set.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it. As always you can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by click the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.
