The retiring list of the Annual catalog seems huge this year! I'll miss a bunch of these items and wanted you to get a chance at them before they're gone.
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.
I chose to feature the Most Adored Specialty designer paper for my video projects. On this card I used both the Flirty Flamingo side and the Gold Foiled sides of this pretty paper. See it here. It's free with any $50 order through February during our Sale-a-Bration promotion – or while supplies last.
I have full measurements in my free project tutorial below but it will help you a lot to watch the video.
There are three layers and they 'cascade' in sizes from smallest in the front to largest in the back. Each has 2-3 layers.
Other products used include: Thoughtful Moments Hybrid 3D embossing folder, Hooray for Surprises bundle, Give it a Whirl dies, Something Fancy stamp set, Gold foil paper & Elegant Trim.
The bubble paper looks like it's printed but she made it! She stamped on her Pool Party card stock with Pool Party & White craft ink with the bubble image. Incredible!
I'm not positive of the many colors she used here but I know a few include Sweet Sorbet, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive. She's a huge fan of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' so she had to get this bundle!
Measurements:
Blueberry Bushel 8 1/8" X 5 1/4". Across the top, score at the 1 5/8" mark down to 1 5/8". Score at 3 3/8" down to 3 5/8". Score at 5" down to the bottom of the card. From the bottom side, score at the 6 1/2" up to 1 5/8". Now you'll make two cuts across the center two areas from the score lines.
Pool Party large squares 3 1/4", small squares 1 1/2" X 2 for the bottom. Top pieces are 1 1/2" X 1 3/4"
