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!

• Neat Accordion Window Flip card fold with Crane of Fortune with video!

  April 11, 2022

  I shared a few fun fold cards on last week's Tuesday Facebook Live.  I featured the Crane of Fortune bundle from the 2022 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!  This bundle is not returning in the new Annual Catalog next month. See it here

  Save

  It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen.  The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP.  It's gorgeous!  The photo below does NOT do it justice!

  The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper.  I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper.  I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.  

  Isn't this a neat fun fold?  And it's so easy too.  Watch the video below or click here.  It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper.

  I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here.  Love these dies!

  • DSP 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip & 4" X 5 1/4" for the front flap
  • White inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

  See how it shows off the other side of your Designer Paper?  I love it!  Think how many pretty cards you could make with this layout and use up your designer paper too!
