The Right Word
The right word
Hello, and welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created projects where “It’s the Sentiment that Counts.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
The right word at the right time, can make all the difference in the world. Positive or negative, words can set the tone for the day, a relationship, you name it. Pair a great phrase with the beautiful colors of autumn and you have one great card.
By now you probably know that I lean toward rustic and vintage themes. The “Old World Paper” 3D embossing folder is great for that. For this project, I inked the folder up with Early Espresso before running the paper through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. Tattered edges were done with our Paper Snips and edges were sponged with more Early Espresso ink.
Color inspiration comes from a favorite combination of mine, Pool Party and Early Espresso with some added Zing by die cutting the leaves from Rainbow Glimmer Paper.
Finish it off with the beautiful Blue Adhesive Backed Gems and Sheer Pool Party ribbon.
Don’t forget the inside. Keep it simple with plenty of room to craft just the right group of words.
The details…
Final size = A2 (4-1/4 x 5-1/2) Cardstock Cuts: Base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 (scored at 4-1/4). First layer 4 x 5-5-1/4. Top Layer 3-7/8 x 5-1/8. Greeting layer Very Vanilla Scrap. Inside layer – Very Vanilla 5-1/4 x 4..
That’s it for me but more inspiration awaits from the rest of my Pals. Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team.
