After working with the Real Red & White Glimmer Paper, I was only using the red and not the white. So I thought of this blue floral paper in the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper and thought I would use the White Glimmer Paper with it! Here is that card that turned out!
The card base is Balmly Blue, one of the coordinating colors with the designer paper. I cut a strip of the blue floral pattern that is 2 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ to fit across the card. Then I added narrow strips of the white glimmer paper in the Real Red & White Glimmer Paper in the Holiday Catalog with the Sweetest Christmas Suite.
The tag is diecut with one of the Tailor Made Dies. This is a great die set with two different styles of tags and several different sizes of tags. I’ve used it a lot. Get it this week by November 18 and you can get it on sale during the Seasonal Sale at Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the Basic White tag with a greeting in the Framed Florets Stamp Set with Balmy Blue Ink. The greeting is actually longer than just “Thank You” but I wanted a smaller greeting to fit on the tag. It would have been difficult to mask off the extra words, so I just inked up the whole stamp, then used a Blender Pen to wipe the ink off the excess words. It worked pretty well. The words came out just a tiny bit light, so I used a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Write Marker, the fine tip end, to just draw over the words very lightly and carefully. Then I stamped on some of the edges with a little leafy stamp. I also cut out a flower and leaf from the designer paper to tack onto the lower corner of the tag.
The tag is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as is the cut-out flower. Before adhering the tag to the card, I added some White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I thought the glitter in the ribbon would go with the White Glimmer Paper.
Before assembling the card, I thought of stamping some of the flowers and leaves in the stamp set with Versamark ink on the top and bottom that wouldn’t be covered by the designer paper. I like the look of that!
The Fitting Florets Designer Paper is available now through January 4th or while supplies last.
