Isn’t the textured background on this card pretty? This Designer Series Paper is from the Country Lace DSP Pack.
I have to say that the new Basic Beige cardstock color is truly a winner! I’ve used it in the past with Early Espresso, Calypso Coral and Wild Wheat. Today, I paired it with two of my favorite blues – Pool Party and Lost Lagoon.
My design is a simple one. You can use any products you already have to create your version. Below is a sketch I created so you can easily see the creative possibilities for this design. Have fun with it!
Are you ready to make a card? Let’s get started!
Pieces & Parts
- I cut the Basic Beige cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
- The Basic White mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
- The patterned paper top layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- I cut the patterned paper cross layer 2″ x 4″. It’s attached with glur.
- Rather than a paper banner, I used a 6 1/2″ piece of the Natural Finish Ribbon to create a layer for the sentiment.
- The sentiment layer is die cut using one of the dies from the Everyday Details Dies. It measures about 7/8″ x 2 1/4″.
- Instead of using rectangle patterned paper strips (as shown in the sketch), I opted for two larger die cuts from the Flowers of Beauty Dies. You can also substitute this part of the design with ribbon strips and omit the ribbon on the cross layer. I think that would be a fun switch.
- I adhered all of the elements with glue except for the ribbon. Stampin’ Seal works best for this.
- I finished my design with a few of the blue Blooming Pearls.
So, I hope you use this sketch to create your unique version of this card. Sketches are a great source of inspiration and you will be surprised where your creativity leads you. Most importantly, just have fun with it.
Till next time, remember …
… the only liitation is your imagination!

Only One Day Left – Bundle Savings Are Even Better

Starting today, Wednesday, June 5th, Stampin’ Up! is dicounting Bundles an additional 10%. If there’s a Bundle you’ve had your eyes on, you can save more from June 5th through June 30th with the additional discount.
- Even Better! As much as I love Bundles, you absolutely have to have a cutting machine. If you don’t have one, think about investing in one during the month of June. From today, June 5th through June 30th, the Stampin’ Cut And Emboss Machine and the Mini Stampin’ Cut And Emboss Machine will be discounted 10%.
- I’m sure you’ve heeard me say that I love my “Mini”. I do! Its smaller size makes it easy for me to keep it on my work surface when I’m making a card or project. The dies run through the machine smoothly and it cuts evenly.
