You’ve just left Sandy Ward’s blog, wasn’t her creation lovely?
I love designer series paper and have been hoping to use this particular design. It is from the lovely Expressions in Ink DSP. Although this is not part of the Stampin' Up!® sale, this paper is amazing. The gold accents make this a paper to have and use!
Here is a sampling of the papers:
My card is half of a sheet of cardstock, I used Evening Evergreen Cardstock for the first card; the second card is Polished Pink. I assembled my supplies - Gold Foil Sheets, the designer series paper, the leaf die from the Expressions in Ink Suite, the new 2021 - 2022 In Colors, the small die from Simply Succulent Dies, and Rhinestone gems.
I adhered the Gold Foil and Designer Series Paper being careful where I put the glue so none would be in the cut out area. I rather enjoyed seeing the back side.
This may show up in another project one day!
To finish putting my card together I put coordinating ribbon across the bottom, stamped my sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Evening Evergreen ink. I used the die from Simply Succulents and cut a second one from Evening Evergreen scraps which I trimmed so a sliver would show on each side of the sentiment. I'm always happy that our Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue allows a bit of wiggle time so I could line them up. Both the Gold Foil and DSP layer and the sentiment are adhered using dimensionals.
The inside is a piece of Basic White card stock with a strip of Designer Series Paper on the bottom. The The envelope is decorated with a strip of DSP on the front and the back cover.
A matching bow and Rhinestone gems finished the card. I hope you have enjoyed my card.

This DSP cetainly IS gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your sampler page along with your project. And your card is very beautiful with the gold die leaves and additional touches.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy. I usually make the sampler before I start playing, I also make a sheet of the stamps and die cuts. That way I have a feel for what is possible - and it gets me excited to start playing.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I will have to try that!
DeleteThe gold foil leaf swag is so elegant! It's probably better in person!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shirley, I’m a fan of anything that glitters, shines or blings. :-)

ReplyDeleteYes, conserving the pretty foil papers is important. I was really amazed by the back of the layer this time, I it’s pretty.
