Today started working on making the 120 cards I need for the Founders Circle Swap. Keeping with my signature fast and fabulous card making style, I used the Stampin’ Up! Flower Shop Stamp Set and Pansy Punch, short for the Stamping Smiles Pansy Punch. 🙂 My handmade card for the swap is simple and sweet.
Simple and elegant with all the Very Vanilla Card Stock and the splashes of Elegant Eggplant and just a whisper of Wisteria Wonder. Two of the flowers are stamped with Elegant Eggplant Classic Stampin’ Pad ink and the third with Wisteria Wonder Classic Stampin’ Pad ink. When designing this card, making the third flower Elegant Eggplant was fine, but when I tried the lighter Wisteria Wonder, I sat back and thought that is it.
The greeting stamped is my favorite from the Stampin’ Up! Really Good Greetings Stamp Set. Those words we have all needed to read at more than one time or another. And what a pretty way to say “Keep your chin up”.
As you enjoy visiting my stamping blog to see my handmade cards, look for that “little something extra” I add to virtually every card to step it up. The most obvious are the little pearls from Basic Pearl Jewels. These little gems are self-adhesive half pearls that make it so easy to make your cards extra special.
The other little extra something is hiding. Stampin’ Dimensionals behind each of the flowers lifts them off the page adding depth and dimension. Again, so simple but very effective to take your handmade cards to the next level. Behind the Wisteria Wonder flower the Stampin’ Dimensionals are stacked two deep to lift them above the other two flowers. That will give your cards that wow factor.
