I often hear:
"I'm not very creative. I don't know how to coordinate certain colors, etc. I just don't have the gift to do that."
Have no fear! Stampin' Up! makes it easy for you and in today's post/video I will show you just how I do it. I promise you won't have any questions about what to do after reading this!
I start by choosing the Designer Series Paper (DSP) that I would like to use on my card. I will look at all the colors that are in that DSP, and I look at the back of the pack that the paper came from. The back lists all the colors that are in the pack of DSP. By looking over both I can easily choose my colors and know that they will work together in any design of a card that I put together.
This is what was used in today's card:
- Base card: 11"x 4" Sahara Sand, score at 3-1/2" and 9"
- Inside Layer or Mat: 5-1/4" x 3-3/4" Basic White
- Designer Series Paper: 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" make sure the design is going in the direction you want it to when you cut it.
- Coordinating Color: 3-1/4" x 3-3/4" Cherry Cobbler
- Using the Heart Punch Pack: Scalloped Heart: Evening Evergreen, Basic Heart: DSP
- Candy Cane Stamp Set
- Pick Your Tool
- Stampin' Seal
- Festive Pearls
- Iridescent Pearls
Start the process by cutting out all your pieces. Then stamp your images on the pieces you want to be completed. Using your bone folder, crease the folds where you scored.
Using the Stampin' Seal adhere the DSP piece, the Inside Layer, and the Coordinating Color where you need them. Next, adhere the two heart pieces together and add some Stampin' Dimensionals to one side of the hearts. The ends of where the base card meets should line up with the middle of your heart.
You can add embellishments of any kind to your card, should you choose to do so. In today's demonstration, I used the Festive Pearls on the inside for my holly berries, and I added some Iridescent Pearls to the outside.
You too can have a nice-looking card by looking at the Designer Series Paper and the list found on the back of the pack of paper that the DSP came in. You can choose colors to combine without any worry about whether they fit together or not. Thank you Stampin' Up! for making it simple for us!
