Creating Design Interest

Jul 17, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Flowers for Every Season, Thinking of You | 0 comments

Do you find yourself challenged creating design interest on cards? Today’s card may just help. Using a variety of techniques, design interest is being created on the card. First, notice the Daffodil Delight card base. By stamping color on color, it creates design interest. Then, the Misty Moonlight cardstock layer is askew on the card base. In addition, the Misty Moonlight cardstock is texture embossed. Next, a piece of designer series paper is cut into a circle and topped with a sentiment banner piece. That’s a total of five shapes and techniques for creating design interest. While it took me some time to adapt to adding cardstock askew on card fronts, I must admit it does add visual interest and is a nice change from typical card layering techniques.

Card Details:

Create the card base using a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock. Score at 5-1/2″ and fold.
Using Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp the small flowers on the card base front. The flowers are from the Field of Flowers Stamp Set.
Next, cut a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock 3-3/4″ x 5″. Texture emboss using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (this is becoming a favorite of mine!).
Then, add the Misty Moonlight embossed layer to the card front placing it askew. After adhering, trim the overhanging cardstock edges.
With the Layering Circles Dies, cut a coordinating floral print from the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Add to the Misty Moonlight cardstock layer. TIP: if you own the retired 2-1/2″ circle punch, use it in lieu of the 2-1/2″ layering circles die especially if you’re short on time!
On a 3/4″ strip of Whisper White cardstock, use the Banner Punch to create a banner tail on the right side of the strip. Next, stamp the sentiment using Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Pad. The sentiment is found in the Lovely You stamp set. With Stampin’ Dimensionals, add the banner strip to the card front and across the designer series paper circle. If cardstock overhangs on the left side, trim the cardstock so that it’s even with the side of the card.
To finish the card, add a knotted bow to the side of the sentiment. The knotted bow uses the Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Ruched Ribbon.

Now, it’s your turn to start creating visual interest! Share in the comments section other ideas.

Lovely Labels Pick A Punch

Jun 17, 2020 | 2019-2021 In-Colors, 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folder, Flowers for Every Season, Punches, Thank You | 0 comments

One of the new tools in the Annual Catalog is the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. The design provides six options allowing you to create a variety of labels. Last week, I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch for the first time and it will definitely become one of my “go to” tools. The video below highlights the features of the punch. You can see the card using the punch below the video.

Here’s the card I created that uses the Lovely Label Pick A Punch:

The card base uses the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Cards and Envelopes. Three strips of the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper are cut to fit inside the dotted line rectangular box on the card. Stamp the sentiment onto a 1/2″ strip of Whisper White cardstock and cut the ends using the Lovely Label Pick a Punch. Create a layering label piece by cutting a 3/4″ piece of cardstock that coordinates with the card base. Texture emboss the label using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Add the sentiment label to the texture embossed label. Finish card by embellishing the label with leaf pieces from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. Then, attach the label to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
