On Thursday, I created a Stampin’ Pretty Poll asking which one of the seven Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper listed was your favorite. With over 550 votes submitted, Hand-Penned came out on top with 41% of the votes. Today’s creation showcases the winner and pairs it up with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and Genial Gems embellishments (Hand-Penned Suite Collection) from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
NOTE: THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED
SHOP DSP! You can shop all standard Designer Series Papers from Stampin’ Up! in my online store by clicking here. Be sure to snag the clearance and retiring papers before they are gone for good!
The layout on today’s card was inspired by a fun fall card I created and shared back in September of 2014! You can see my inspiration in my original blog post here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base of Highland Heather or Mint Macaron card stock.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut two pieces of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to 3 3/4 x 3 1/2.
Round the corners of one piece using the Detailed Trio Punch.
Adhere the piece with square corners on the left-hand side of a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White card stock with Stampin’ Seal as shown.
Adhere the piece with round corners on the right-hand side with Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown.
Wrap with Mint Macaron 1/2″ Soft Velvet Ribbon or Highland Heather 1/2″ Grosgrain Ribbon, adhering to the back side with Stampin’ Seal.
Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tie a bow of the same ribbon and set it aside.
Use a Stamparatus to position and stamp the sentiment and flower in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White card stock as shown.
Crop with a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Stitched So Sweetly Die.
Use Clear Blocks to stamp the colors onto the flower with the coordinating Hand-Penned Petals stamps. Colors coordinate with the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.
- Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green
- Cinnamon Cider, Pool Party, Garden Green
IMPORTANT TIP: Be sure to stamp off on scratch paper first before stamping on the flower to create a more realistic watercolor look.
Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the bow of coordinating ribbon as shown with a Mini Glue Dot.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with three Genial Gems.
