A Ginger Snap! A Masculine Card!

What do you get when you combine Scenic Sayings with the Serene Scenery Designer Series paper Stack?  How about a fun masculine card!

Ginger's Tips:

  • Cover the Whisper White C.S. card base with 2 coordinating patterns from the Serene Scenery DSP Stack.
  • Run a strip of adhesive on the back of a Gold Metallic Foil Doillie & add loops of Black Metallic Thread.
  • Attach the Gold Metallic Foil Doilie just above the seam of the papers.

  • Run a strip of Pop of Pink Washi Tape (gold flecked black tape) across the seam joining the 2 papers.
  • Zig Zag a few layers of Dapper Denim 3/8" Ruched Ribbon over the Washi Tape. 
  • Attach a Basic Black C.S. banner to the ribbon.

  • Stamp the sentiment with Archival Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock.  Fussy cut it and pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Knot a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine & attach it to the bottom of the sentiment with Glue Dots.

It was fun to use many of the new elements on my card today.  I am still in the process of getting some of the embellishments but I wanted to use what I had already. 

What is your favorite accessory on the new 2016 -2017 Annual Catalog?  Were you surprised that I used Pop of Pink Washi Tape on a masculine card?  I was delighted when I spotted it because I knew that it was just what I wanted to go with the Gold Metallic Doillie.

A Ginger Snap! Simplest Card Ever!

The Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack contains beautiful paper and all you really need is a sentiment to turn it into a quick & easy card.  The paper that I chose is prettier than it photographs.  It has more soft yellow tones than appear in my picture.

I ran the Embossing Buddy across the paper and then stamped the sentiment from One Big Meaning with Versa Mark Ink.  I then sprinkled Copper Embossing Powder Heat Embossed the sentiment.

Don't you think this would make a beautiful sympathy card?  Maybe I will try a few and post them next week. Before I forget, my card base is Delightful Dijon & I chose a narrow Whisper White border.

A Ginger Snap! Simply Elegant!

I am thrilled to be able to share the Flourishing Phrases Bundle with you today.  This is an incredibly gorgeous set with a wonderful variety of sentiments in a beautiful font.  In addition, there are matching Flourish Thinlits

This was an easy card to create because the Flourish Thinlit created that elegant cutout. And, it was incredibly easy to create with minimal work.  Now that is my type of card!

Here's the details.

  • Card Base is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Dapper Denim C.S. scored at 4-1/4"
  • The flourish is cut with the Flourish Thinlit using Flirty Flamingo C.S.
  • The sentiment from Flourishing Phrases is stamped with Dapper Denim Ink on Shimmery White C.S. and the right side is banner cut.
  • A strip of the luscious Flirty Flamingio 3/8" Ruched Ribbon adds some charm to the sentiment piece.
  • Finally, a sweet colored Pearl adds some color to the sentiment. 

 Below is a video by Stampin' Up! about the Flourish Thinlits. It is worth watching before using the thinlits – just click the link!  This video also talks about the New Big Shot Platform & included Adapter for use with thin dies.
