Love & Affection Blinged Out

I love Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Serious Paper.  The colors in the designs match the paper and inks perfectly, which makes them great for layering on a card.  For this card I used the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Serious Paper which has two sheets with beautiful copper accents.  The colors and designs of each page are absolutely gorgeous.  Whether you are a scrapbooker, cardmaker or both, you will fall in love (if you haven’t already) with Stampin’ Up!’s DSP!! (Designer Series Paper)

I used the following items which can be purchased directly from my store at Stampin’ Up!

  • Love & Affection Stamp Set
  • Clear Blocks – D
  • Watermelon Wonder Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Mint Macaron Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Textured Impressions Embossing Folders – Floral Affection
  • Whisper White 8 ½ x 11 Thick Card Stock
  • Affectionately Yours Cardstock Pack
  • Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Thick Baker’s Twine – Whisper White
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Snail Adhesive

Putting this card together was very simple:

  1. Using a single sheet of Night of Navy Card Stock, cut in half then score and fold in half to create your card.  Cut a piece of DSP 4 x 5 1/4, wrap Baker’s Twine around DSP and tie in a bow, layer on top of the Night of Navy using your Snail Adhesive.
  2. Cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock 2 ¾ x 3 ½ .
  3. Using the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, place the white cardstock at an angle and run through the Big Shot.
  4. Cut a piece of Watermelon Wonder 2 ½ x 1.
  5. Stamp sentiment of Watermelon Wonder with the Watermelon Classic Ink pad.
  6. Cut right side of cardstock to make the banner.
  7. Stamp leaves on the white cardstock with Mint Macaron Classic Ink pad.
  8. Adhere the white cardstock to the card with Snail, then adhere the banner with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  9. Because it is difficult to read writing on the darker cardstocks, cut a piece of printer paper 4 x 5 ¼ and adhere to the inside of the card.

I’ve given you three ideas (Monday, Wednesday) using the one stamp set and just 3 colors.  But the possibilities are endless, this set is very versatile and could be used with any sentiment for any occasion.
