Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Designer Series Paper offers quick die-cut WOW! to a card front. You can snip individual die-cut pieces for beautiful elements, too! Today’s card looks complicated but was simple due to the use of the laser-cut paper. However, my personal favorite detail may be the exclamation point on the sentiment assembled with the Best Route Enamel Shapes.
My Boris made taking today’s photos a bit of a challenge. He must have made a dozen passes over the card before I could shoot (and after I gave him a little love).
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Create a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base using the Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Trimmer to cut and score.
Cut a 3 1/2 x 5 pattern from Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. Crop a Melon Mambo circle with the 1 1/2″ circle punch. Adhere the circle behind die cut as shown.
Adhere die cut pattern to a 3 3/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Basic Black card stock using lightly applied bits of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Adhere Basic Black layer with Snail Adhesive to the card base.
Crop the Basic Black stitched heart using the die from Stitched Labels Framelits Dies and the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. Adhere to the center of the Melon Mambo circle with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
Stamp the “love” sentiment from Another Wonderful Year in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White card stock and trim to a 2 7/8 x 7/8 rectangle. Use the Basic Black “push pin” and dot (both are self-adhesive) from Best Route Enamel Shapes to create the exclamation point. Adhere sentiment to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Crop a 5 1/4″ wide Melon Mambo stripe pattern from Stampin’ Up! Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper using the envelope die in Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies and the Big Shot. Adhere to the inside of a Stampin’ Up! Medium Whisper White Envelope with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
