I danced with both of my sons at their wedding to Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." When Stampin' Up! came out with this bundle called Wonderful World, my heart felt a warm fuzzy.

Pictures do not do this card justice. Stamping boo-boos, misalignments, and poor lighting are obvious. The new In Color Orchid Oasis is a blueish purple that can only be described as AAHHHH. This Designer's Series Paper (DSP) is the real star of the show. It is simply stunning! It hurts your feelings to put glue on either side. The card design is a CASE from Rachel Tessman at Stamp Your Art Out You Tube Link; it looks complicated, but certainly is not. It allows for the the DSP to be shown off. The belly band is an option, but it provides a canvas for a stamped image as well as holds the card together nicely. I used Stampin' Rite markers to color the stamp before putting it on the die cut. It needed a little "somethin"' so I added brushed brass butterflies. I used a rectangle from the retired Stitched So Sweetly dies for my stamped image, but truly any shape will do. The DSP and the stamp set (Wonderful World bundle) (flower image) are FREE during Sale-a-bration when you spend $100 in product from my website.   Here is the same card design using the same DSP pack and stamp set, but it highlights another one of the In Colors, Polished Pink. The card base is Mossy Meadow, one of the colors in the neutral category. What you don't see is a small 4 inch by 1 1/2 inch piece of cardstock , scored at 1/2 and 1 inch "Z fold" moving mechanism under the front panel. The card base is also scored on the sides to a "Z fold" with panels attached to provide a telescoping effect when opening and closing the card. I love this design! Thank you Rachel for sharing! |
