Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Whew! We've slid right into 2021 so quickly, it could make your head spin!! LOL I've been doing some resting over the weekend; and also starting to do some clean up and catch up in the Studio. This morning early, I cleaned out and dusted one of my china cupboards -- Yuck! LOL I saw so much dust in certain areas around the house this holiday season, that I was like . . . Yikes!! I MUST do some much needed "Late Fall/Early Spring" cleaning! So I think January will be a good month for that -- LOL
Today is the VERY LAST day to order from the 2020 August - December Mini Catalog. Until Midnight tonight is your last opportunity to snag any of those designer papers, ribbons, embellishments, stamp sets, die, punches, etc., that are going out. So don't miss this opportunity. When these beautiful products are gone . . . they'll be gone!!
Today I have a set of cards showcasing a beautiful set of designer paper, that we had the privilege of enjoying for a second season; but will now officially retire - the Feels Like Frost 6" x 6" Specialty DSP!
And I'm dusting off an "old" design from 2016 when we had another wonderful designer paper that showcased just this easily as well!
You can see that blog post HERE!
I'm excited to show you wonderfully Pretty cards; with a quick and easy simple design!
These cards again use our wonderful ready-made Notecards and Envelopes set - 3-1/2" x 5" when folded. Just love these quick little notecards!
Then the secret for this design is stamping the sentiment directly onto the designer paper.
I chose these two sentiments from the retiring Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set. Did you get yours?? This is a sweet little stamp set with a wonderful set of matching punches to go with it!
Like the 2016 design, these two cards showcase a strip of the designer paper's back side (yes, the front has all these wonderful photographed images; and the back designs are all silver foils - I hope you didn't miss this paper this year!)
Matted with a corresponding cardstock color; they are then wrapped with a pretty ribbon, adhered to the front of the card base; and finished off with some Elegant Faceted Gems (some of my favorites)
The other two cards in this set I changed up just slightly from the original design.
For this card I added just a strip of our 1/2" Purple Posy Scalloped Linen Ribbon.
And for this card I folded a piece of the 1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon, and tied it around the layers below the sentiment before attaching it to the card front. It is sooooo pretty!!!
Then I decided to take this gorgeous paper and use it on a regular 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card, using our Curvy Dies.
Don't you just love these ??!! 😁
For the first card, I laid the cut DSP over a piece of Seaside Spray cardstock - Note: there is no "dimension" to this card. The piece measures 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", so it covers the complete card base front.
Then I cut off the edge of a piece of 1/2" Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen Ribbon, and attached it along the curved edge; finishing off the card with a scattering of pearls.
The sentiment is stamped right on the cardstock under the curved edge!
Simple and pretty!!
For the 2nd of this set of cards, I again cut the "edge" of the designer paper with one of the Curvy Dies to get the dotted edge.
This card is "stepped up" somewhat more than all the others. I embossed the underlying Purple Posy cardstock using the retiring Winter Snow Embossing Folder. Then the designer paper is popped with dimensionals over the top. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, measuring 1/2" x 3-1/2", and punched on each end with the Banners Pick a Punch.
I added the remaining piece of the ribbon I cut noted above on the other card; and finished off with pearls.
I hope these cards have inspired you! Do NOT miss out on putting this paper in your craft stash at home! You will want to have it on hand for sure! The stamp set, punches, embossing folder . . . are all retiring at the end of the day!
