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: 

Mostly Adorned Direct to Paper technique.. Save

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!

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.

  • Golden Honey Scrapbook Class with a kit to go option

    Scrapbooking was my first paper crafting hobby. Now I spend a lot more time making cards than I do scrapbook pages.

    I just knew the Golden Honey specialty designer paper would make gorgeous layouts!  This designer paper is no longer available during Sale-a-Bration but I have a supply of it for these classes. 

    Golden Honey SB pages 1 Save

    I made 5 beautiful, unique layouts with 12 X 12" card stock.  Because this paper is black and white based with some gold accents I could add lots of fun colors to create my layouts.  I LOVE black and white with a pop of color on my projects! 

    Here's a full view of two of them.  This first layout has Bermuda Bay as the main color with the Detailed Bee dies.  The page title is from the Hand-Lettered Prose dies seen here. 

    Golden Honey SB 2 Save

    Here's another one in all black and white with gold accents.  I added daisy punched accents on this page.  

    Golden Honey SB 5 Save

    There isn't any stamping on these pages; it's all pre-cut, punched or die-cut pieces. It also includes the embellishments too. All you need is adhesive so it's perfect to finish up at home!  

    The class is on Saturday, March 28th at 2 pm.  The cost is $25 for all 10 pages.  It's also available as a kit to go for both local and long distance customers.  It's an extra $5 for shipping.  RSVP by March 19th to receive a kit.  

    The kit includes everything you see; pre-cut pieces, die-cuts, photos and tips on assembly.  Kits are mailed out at the end of March.
