Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Valentines & Love, Wedding by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ 

Continuing my highlights of Color Combinations; today, we delve into the enchanting realm of gold and white, a pairing that exudes opulence and sophistication. Our spotlight shines on the Most Adored specialty designer paper adorned with this stunning duo. 

At the heart of this masterpiece lies the Gold and White Specialty Designer Paper, that whispers of elegance and luxury. The intricate rose pattern in shimmering gold elevate this paper from ordinary to extraordinary. Each petal brushed with a touch of magic – the Wink of Stella glitter brush. This subtle yet enchanting addition brings the roses to life, creating a mesmerizing sparkle that captures the essence of sophistication. 

The sentiments come from the “Enduring Beauty” stamp set, embossed in gold and die-cut using the Scallop Contours Dies, adding a touch of intricacy to the overall design. The marriage of elegant script and the golden-white palette creates a sentiment that resonates with enduring charm, making it perfect for an anniversary or wedding card.

On the Flip Side: A Playful Contrast 

As we flip over the designer paper, a delightful surprise awaits – a Real Red background adorned with small white hearts! I wanted to add a playful touch and die cut it with the Scallop Contours Dies.

The sentiment on this side hails from the “Bee Mine” stamp set, mirroring the whimsical charm of the small white hearts. The “Happy Valentines Day” sentiment with the hand stamped hearts are die-cut with the Something Fancy Dies, creating a harmonious connection between the elements. This playful touch evokes feelings of joy and warmth, making it ideal for projects celebrating love and friendship.

Today, we’ve explored more creative options using the Most Adored Specialty Designer Paper, where gold and white weave a tale of timeless elegance, and its flip side, adorned with playful Valentine patterns, which adds a touch of whimsy to the mix. What makes this experience even more delightful is the opportunity to acquire it for free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration.

Endlessly Grateful Rustic Harvest

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Are you ready for some more Rustic Harvest Designer paper? I had so much fun playing with this paper this weekend. It gets me thinking of my favorite season – Autumn. I pictures those warm days (not hot) and cool nights with a campfire and some smore’s … let’s not forget everything Pumpkin Spice! lol

Speaking of pumpkin, I pulled out the Pumpkin Pie for this card, along with Cajun Craze and my Blending Brushes to color this once black and white designer paper. Once you’ve colored your paper, you can layer it over your Basic White mat. Then secure it to your card front.

That pretty little pumpkin was fussy cut from the same Rustic Harvest paper … just another pattern. It’s elegance in white is why I chose a white mat for may card, I just think it ties everything together nicely.

The “Endless Grateful” sentiment comes from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in the Mini Catalog, and was die cut using the Scallop Contours Dies.

The pumpkin and the greeting are both popped up using dimensionals. I love the simplicity of and beauty of this card … the blending brushes apply to color so smooth and easily and really turn this black and white paper into an autumn wonderland.

Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog today.

Enjoy ~
