This past Monday, a virtual event for the Playtime with Paper team took place. The event focus was a mystery stamping project. Prior to the event, a posting provided a list of materials including the dimensions for creating a card. Participants then select the colors, designer series paper, stamp set and so forth they wish to use. No one knows what the final card layout will be so that’s the “mystery” and it’s fun to see the various card creations afterwards.
For my mystery stamping presentation, I choose to use different elements from the Dandy Garden Suite. I knew that I wanted to incorporate a couple of bumblebees on the card. Since the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper includes a bumblebee print, it became the inspiration for the main color scheme of Misty Moonlight. Even better is the Dandy Wishes Dies bumblebee die coordinates with the bumblebee printed designer series paper. The card turned out even better than I envisioned!
Additional Card Details:
First, select two coordinating pieces of the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper. The stripe and the dandelion print coordinate perfectly. For the card base and the texture embossed layer, use Misty Moonlight cardstock. The Dandelions 3-D Embossing Folder ties in perfectly with the dandelion print. Don’t you agree? To complete the card, add the sentiment label, the bumblebees, and rhinestone jewels. The sentiment comes from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set. Finish by wrapping the card front and tying a bow using the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon. Under Project Materials, the specific materials for the project are listed. Also added is the link for ordering the entire Dandy Garden Suite – then you’ll have lots of creative options!
It was fun hosting the mystery stamping for the Playtime with Paper team. Afterwards, participants posted their cards to the team’s Facebook page. Everyone’s cards were beautiful and I don’t think anyone selected the same Designer Series Paper or same stamp set. And importantly, a huge thank you to Ange McKay for sharing the dimensions for the mystery stamping.
Here are a few additional samples using the same layout…
