This beautiful paper has been waiting to get used and this seemed like the perfect design to use it on. It is really easy but also elegant.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Basic Black card stock
- Copper Metallic card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Light gray card stock
- Simply Elegant designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Memorable Blooms stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
- Happy Anniversary stamp
- Jet Black StazOn ink or Basic Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
For your card base take your Basic Black card stock and cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 8 ½”. With the Copper Metallic card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Simply Elegant designer series paper find the floral black and copper piece and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 4 ½” and cut it on the diagonal from the left corner to the lower right corner. Cut another piece to 1 ½” x 4”. With the light gray card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.
Take your Basic Black card base and adhere the copper piece to the front panel Align your diagonal pieces and adhere in each corner. Adhere the light gray piece to the inside and the copper floral strip to the bottom.
With your Memorable Blooms stamp set find the greeting that says “You mean the world to me” and stamp that with the black in centered in the angle on the front of your card. NOTE: If you have Jet Black StazOn in I would suggest that as it will dry faster, the Basic Black was slow to dry on the copper. The other suggestion is to be careful when stamping on the copper as it is slippery and your stamp could slide.
With your black ink stamp Happy Anniversary on the upper portion of the light gray card stock on the inside of your card.
This is a nice anniversary card for anyone, as with the colors could be masculine enough even though it is floral.
