Wow – Texturing Vellum is a fabulous effect! Check out this pretty Softly Sophisticated card

I couldn't stop playing with the Softly Stippled designer paper and the Softly Sophisticated bundle!  This card came together by using a sketch layout I saw online.

There are so many neat details on this card; I'll list a few of them.  

• Check out the textured vellum!  It's done with the Softly Sophisticated folder (sale-a-Bration choice). Our vellum cardstock doesn't crack!
• The pretty Softly Stippled designer paper seen here in the background adds even more texture. 
• The dotted rectangle die-cut is from the Everyday Details dies seen here. 
• Check out the ribbon treatment. I tied a bow around the Pool Party ribbon (Sale-a-Bration choice) with the Pebbled Path jute twine – separated into one strand. 
• The stamps are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here – gorgeous greetings and 2-step florals.

I've mentioned it before but I'm finding our new Pebbled Path to be a wonderful neutral color with our soft subtle colors. It's brown but with a slight gray tone to it.  Lovely!

  January 5, 2024

  Here's another card swap I made recently.  This one features 4 different Sale-a-Bration choices. 

  Save

  Here are the 4 products I featured on this card; all from the Sale-a-Bration catalog that goes Live Thursday, January 4th.

  • 1st – the beautiful Flight & Airy designer paper. Gorgeous 12 X 12" designer paper featuring birds & florals.  *free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order
  • 2nd – the new Heartfelt Hellos stamp set; it's a $50 choice in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. It has 6 pretty greetings that all work with the new Heartfelt Hexagon punch (2024 Spring catalog)
  • 3rd – The Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – seen on the Calypso Coral banner. It's paired with the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and free with a $100 order. 
  • 4th – the gems are called Opaque Faceted Gems and are free with a $50 order. 

  Save

  My colors include Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral, White & Misty Moonlight – all featured in the Flight & Airy designer paper. 

  The circle is 2 3/8" and works nicely with the new Heartfelt Hexagon punch.

  It's a beautifully simple layout that would be perfect to mass produce using your favorite designer paper. You could add extra layers if you prefer that; but sometimes it's good to let the pretty paper or greeting be the star.  

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • Designer paper 3" X 4" (you can get 12 from one sheet of 12" designer series paper!)
  • Banner is 5 1/4" X 1 1/4"
