Cloud Cover Greetings
Today I’m sharing my first-ever Mystery Stamping card. Thanks to a group of very supportive Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators, I finally did it! I’ll be scheduling them soon so watch for an announcement in your inbox.
Choosing a simple, tone-on-tone project was key for me. Keeping it simple made it easy for both me and my audience. Focusing on one or two colors kept the project on track.
I used…
- Cloud Cover & Basic White Cardstock
- 2025-2027 In-Color DSP
- Secret Sea Ink
- Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder
- Textured Notes Dies
- Thoughtful Wishes Bundle (retired)
- Cute little embellishments (available in September)
 2025-2027 In Color Designer Series Paper |
 Textured Notes Dies used |
Here’s a look at the inside.
Layering two pieces of the same image gives a little dimension without overpowering our simple design.
Nuts & Bolts
All measurements are in inches.
Finished Size – A2 (4-1/4 x 5-1/2)
