Congratulations Card with Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper
Long time no posts! It’s been ten days since I have shared my last blog post, WOW! So today I am taking some time for myself spending it in my craft room making creations using current and soon-to-be-released holiday products. Stay tuned, I will do my best to share with you and get you as excited for the new products as I am! YAY!
Did you know that you can snag this gorgeous Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper for just $9.78 through August 2, 2021! Trust me, you want to add this to your collection, as well as the other eight packs that are included in the sale!
Begin by cutting a piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11. Score and fold at 5 1/2.
Adhere a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of Highland Heather Cardstock to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Zip a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine tucked inside the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Seal.
Cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock to 4 x 2 1/2.
Crop two 4″ wide pieces of Highland Heather Cardstock with the edge die from the Penned Flowers Dies.
Stamp the flower image in Stazon Ink onto a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. Color with a Water Painter and the following Classic Ink colors: Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, So Saffron. Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the coordinating Penned Flowers Die.
Zip all pieces through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine tucked inside the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (make sure they do not overlap, you will need to take two trips through as each piece so not overlap inside the embossing folder).
Adhere the Basic White piece to the Highland Heather scallops with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use the Tailored Tag Punch to create a small notch on the left-hand side to hold the Baker’s Twine.
Separate a piece of Baker’s Twine into two strands. Wrap one of them around the piece as shown and secure it with a bow.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the flower as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals and snips the edges with a Paper Snips so its flush with the edge of the layer beneath it.
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Basic Black Cardstock. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Set with a Heat Tool. Trim to size with a Paper Trimmer or Snips. Adhere as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Embellish with Matte Black Dots.
When I colored my flower, I was heavy on the water and light on the ink to get the soft look seen here.
I just love that this card coordinates with my fingernails, so I had to snap a picture with my nails included. I know, a little cheesy, but I enjoy being cheesy. 🙂 LOL!
I had WAY TOO MUCH RETIRED STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCT! So I boxed a bunch of it up into USPS Medium Flat Rate Boxes and am offering them up for grabs at $50 EACH, which includes shipping!
It’s a STEAL! Each box is stuffed full of a mix of 12×12 DSP, 6×6 DSP, Ribbon, and Embellishments!
