Terrific Tuesdays

Winter Melody

This week we’re focusing on the Magical Meadow suite of products. Today, we’re combining the gorgeous Winter Meadow designer series paper with embossing and diecuts to create a beautiful winter card. This design is inspired by fellow Luv 2 Stamp team member Allison Duvani at Allison’s Creative Greetings. I love how just a few elements can work together to make a stunning card.

This card design is built on a base of Basic White cardstock. A sheet of Blueberry Bushel serves as the mat for the designer paper and embossed panel. I chose the winter branches pattern from the Winter Meadow paper pack and paired it with a sheet of white cardstock embossed using the Merry Melody embossing folder. The sentiment panel is matted with a Night of Navy and white cardstock circle. The greenery is diecut from Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, and Night of Navy using the Magical Meadow dies. The sentiment from the Magical Meadow stamp set is stamped on white cardstock and then mounted at the bottom of the panel over the stems of the greenery. A few simple faceted gems add a bit of sparkle and draw the eye across the card to the sentiment.

Christmas

Spirit of the Season

We are finally beginning to get a break from the summer heat here in Texas, and things are beginning to feel a little more fall-like. And that always brings about more holiday spirit. I’m still working to prepare a holiday client order and for an upcoming craft show, which means lots of holiday-inspired designs.

Today’s card is relatively simple to put together but packs a lot of punch in the WOW department. The card base is a simple piece of white cardstock. A piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock provides the pops of red in this design and gives the patterned paper a bit of grounding against the dry embossed white panel. The sequins, ribbon, and heat embossed sentiment bring the pops of gold that really makes this card sparkle. I love this designer paper. It’s a new pack from Stampin’ Up! called Joy of Christmas. Each of the designs in the paper pack has a watercolor look and each one is eye-catching and easy to work with. Making a stunning card with this designer paper is a walk in the park for sure!

I really love the simplicity of this design. Are you a fan of simple or more intricate designs?
