Simple Direct to Paper Technique for quick gorgeous cards! Plus 6 ways to add ribbon! Video & free project sheet too!

On last week's Live video I focused on the Most Adored specialty designer paper and shared the Direct to Paper technique and these gorgeous cards:

Anytime we have designer papers with foil designs I think of this fun technique! It's basically rubbing or tapping your water based ink pad onto the designer paper. The ink soaks into the background but resists the foil designs. Simply wipe the excess ink off the foil with a tissue – done!

Save

The colors above are Azure Afternoon and Pretty Peacock. Notice the different ribbon techniques and layouts. The left card has loops of ribbon added to the greeting label; the right has a simple fold of ribbon. 

Each card has two main pieces – the designer paper is 3" X 4" and the layered, coordinating card stock is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4". Check out the different layouts with these basic pieces.

The left card above is Highland Heather and the right is Sweet Sorbet.  A few more examples of ways to add ribbon and change up this simple layout.  I added two thin strips of ribbon across the left card and tied a bow around the window frame on the right. 

Remember this pretty specialty paper is available through February during Sale-a-Bration. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it here. 

Keeping to a basic layout like this is a wonderful way to get a bunch of cards done quickly and use up your designer paper at the same time! I chose the Charming Sentiments stamp set for all of my greetings.

The colors above are Copper Clay and Pebbled Path – 2 of our newest in colors.  Ribbon uses include a flag and a double bow.

The free project sheet can be downloaded here: It's also a great reference for ways to add ribbon! Download Direct to Paper technique with 6 ways to add ribbon

I hope you're inspired by the simply card idea, the technique and the 6 ways to add ribbon!  Watch the video below to see this technique in action!

  I used the Paper Blooms DSP, Stitched in Whimsy & In Bloom bundle in Night of Navy & White. This pretty designer paper is free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  See it here. 

  See that neat stitching on the inside of the card?  That's my new favorite 'Stitched with Whimsy' dies; seen here. 

  Save

  I used both the dies and the stamp set on my front panels.  I also stamped the greeting on the inside layer on the bottom left card.

  You can see this neat In Bloom bundle here.  Look at these dies!  Love the stitching!

  Measurements:

  Main card 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" scored at 5 1/2" *save the extra piece for the front layer ( 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"

  White 4" X 5 1/4", 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"

  DSP 1 3/4” X 4”.

   

  The neat thing about this card is that you can use what you cut off of the main card as your layer on the front flap.  Love that!

  I want to ask you 3 questions:

  1. Do you have a long wish list of Stampin' Up! products?
  2. Have you ever wished you could get all of your Stampin' Up! products on sale?
  3. Have you wanted to see the new catalogs early?  And order products early too?!

  If you answered yes to any of the above I hope you'll tune in to my Facebook Live on Tuesday evening.  I am going to go over the truths & myths of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I'm also sharing how I got started.

  Here's a link to the event.  Opt in and you'll get notified when I'm on. 

  For those of you not on Facebook, I'll upload it to YouTube on Wednesday here.

  I asked my Flowerbug's to share their 'why' and it was so neat to hear their responses!  They are so happy they made the decision; I've never had anyone tell me they regretted it.  Ever!

  Some have been with me more than 10 years and never held a class!  And that's okay! A few have had some classes to help them meet their minimums and a few hold regular events.

  Here are their most popular reasons:

  1. They love the discount of 20% or more on all their purchases.
  2. They're enjoying being a part of something so upbeat and rewarding, making friends online and in person.
  3. They don't want to give up the Stampin' Up! online community. There are numerous, exclusive websites they have access to with tons of inspiration not seen anywhere else. 
  4. They really love getting their catalogs early and ordering from them before anyone else. 

  Fact: You get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), free Past Paper Pumpkin ($21), no shipping on any of this ($20.35). So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What? 

  The Starter Kit is always 25% off but during Sale-a-Bration it's an even better deal with the extra 5 packs of Designer paper you get free; a value of $57!  

  Save

  
  

  Remember the Starter kit is only $99 and you can choose up to $125 in product of your choice.  You get free shipping, a free Paper Pumpkin kit and lots of catalogs & business supplies.  Go here to get yours!
