Hi Stampers! My husband and I have been working hard at rearranging the crafting room. Ours is a small house and it can be quite challenging to create a sense of roominess and we all like elbow room when it comes to stamping and scrapping. We started Thursday night and have worked on it every day. It's almost done and we are both amazed at the room's transformation. It is almost finished -- just have to find special new homes for a few more items and it will be ready for me to start creating again. Just wait 'til you see it! Needless to say, I have not done much card making lately.
The card to the left was made about two weeks ago. I love the effects and can hardly wait for someone to announce their engagement! And best of all, it is not difficult to make.
Here's how I did it:
You will need to create a card base 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" of Not Quite Navy smooth card stock. Score down the middle at 4-1/4" and fold in half using your bone folder to create a crisp edge.
Adhere to the card base, a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Baja Breeze smooth card stock. Set this aside for now.
To create the card front, run a 5" x 3-3/4" piece of Whisper White card stock through the Big Shot using the Elegant Lines textured embossing folder. Sponge the debossed side using Baja Breeze classic ink and a wedge of Stampin' sponge. See how beautifully the white debossed areas pop!
Stamp the sentiment from A Word For You stamp set using Not Quite Navy classic ink.
Adhere to card base. Then add a sprinkling of pearls from our Jewels (they self-adhere) to give it a final touch of elegance and your card is ready to give to that soon-to-be married couple.
Happy Stamping!
