Textured Chic Layered Levels Card

No Comments

I found this half-done card down in my craft room when I was doing some cleaning so I finished it up.  The Textured Chic designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is one of my all-time favorite packs of paper as they all are so pretty with the touches of gold and light colors.  This layered levels card allows a variety of these papers to get used together. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Peekaboo Peach card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Textured Chic designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Season of Chic stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Peekaboo Peach ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Take a piece of white card stock and cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ¼” and score at 3” and fold.   Then cut two pieces to 3 ¼” x 4 5/8” and one piece to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8”.  Now with your Textured Chic designer series paper find the white and pink piece with gold dots, the tiny floral piece and the orange piece with gold diagonals.  From the floral piece cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 5” and a second piece to 2 ½” x 3 7/8”.  With the orange paper cut a piece to 3” x 4 ½”.  Now from the pink with gold dots paper cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 4”.

With your card base, adhere the pink with gold dots piece to the front 3” portion of your card.  Adhere the 4 ¼” x 5” floral piece to the inside of your card.  Take one of your 3 ¼” x 4 5/8” white pieces and adhere it in the center of the inside of your card on the floral piece.  Take the other white piece cut to 3 ¼” x 4 5/8” piece and adhere the orange with gold diagonals to it.  Put adhesive on half of your orange piece and then lay it over your white inside piece so that it is where it needs to be and lay the front panel down over it to adhere it in the proper place.  Now adhere your smaller floral piece to the last piece of white card stock and adhere that center over the pink with gold dots and orange with gold diagonals pieces. 

Take your piece of Peekaboo Peach card stock and your Peekaboo Peach ink and stamp the flower inside.  Then cut that out along with a flower outside and the one of the flower outside of the daisy type flower.  Adhere the larger flower outside to the stamped flower.  On white card stock stamp the “thinking of you” greeting and cut into a label.  Adhere to the front of your card at an angle and adhere to double layered flower to the left end.

For the inside adhere the daisy type floral outline to the lower left corner of your inside white piece.  Stamp the “you are amazing beyond measure” greeting in Peekaboo Peach ink in the upper center. 

This is a cute and different style card to give to anyone you want to let know you appreciate them.

Book Binding Textured Chic Painted Posies Card

No Comments

I like the style of the book binding fold cards and the Textured Chic designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is one of my favorite packs of paper.  The Painted Posies embossing folder is really pretty as well, so I used some of the white core card stock and then sanded it down a bit so that the embossed outline is white on the petal pink paper and then just colored in the flowers. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink white core card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Textured Chic designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
  • Magnolia Mood stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends – Dark (Stampin’ Up)
  • Gold Ribbon – Shimmer Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
  • Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Petal Pink card stock, cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”.  From the Petal Pink white core card stock cut two pieces to 3 ¾” x 3 ¾”.  From the Texture Chic designer series paper pack, find the piece that is pink and orange with the diagonal design, cut two pieces to 4” x 4” and a third to 1” x 4”.

Take one of your 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” Petal Pink white core pieces and emboss with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder.  With your Petal Pink Dark Stampin’ Blends market color in the flowers.  Use a sanding block (nail sanding blocks work well) and sand over the top to show the white core of the embossed design.   Add three of the brass butterflies around the embossed design. 

Use adhesive, I would probably recommend glue, to adhere the 1 ¼” binding to the back of the card.  Cut two pieces of ribbon and cross in the middle and adhere to each end of the 1” x 4” designer series paper piece.  Adhere that to the front of the book binding part of the card.  Adhere the embossed piece to one of the 4” x 4” designer series paper pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card. 

Use the “Happy Birthday” stamp from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and stamp on the other piece of Petal Pink white core card stock.  Adhere that to the other piece of designer series paper and adhere that to the inside of your card. 

That gives you this pretty book binding birthday card.
