Good evening stampers! Long time, no blog. I was evacuated from my home for 12 days and separated from all of my stamp supplies. It was a long 12 days but we were finally able to return home on Wednesday. There is a large wildfire here in Colorado. It is still burning but has slowed some. Praying they will be able to fully contain it soon. It's been burning for 2 months now! So blessed to be home though and thankful that my home is still here.
Today's card is a layout I have been wanting to try. It's perfect for using up those scrap pieces of paper and is a great way to showcase that paper. I chose the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper for this one and will definitely be trying out some other DSPs with this layout as well.
The base of the card is a piece of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Whisper White cardstock scored at 4 1/4. To that piece, I adhered a piece of 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Basic Gray cardstock. For the three pieces of DSP, the measurements are 5 x 1 1/4, 2 3/4 x 2 1/2 and 2 1/4 x 2 1/2. These pieces are then adhered to the Basic Gray. The sentiment piece was cut out using the Tasteful Labels dies on Petal Pink cardstock and stamped in Basic Gray using an older Stampin' Up set sentiment. You can use a sentiment of your choice for this. For the ribbon I applied a strip of Stampin' Seal and applied the ribbon and then to the back of that, I added some Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere it to the card. I had some plain white ribbon on hand that I used for this. Stampin' Up's Shimmer Ribbon or Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon would look good for this as well. Lastly, I applied a few Elegant Faceted Gems.
I really love the look of this layout and the ease of creating it is a bonus! You can find all of the ingredients used for this card below aside from the sentiment and the ribbon.
