SNEAK PEEK at Wonderful Year

I adore beautiful fonts and bold paper patterns – you know that about me.  It was just a matter of time before this GORGEOUS sentiment from Wonderful Year would meet the GORGEOUS page from Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper.  Together, they are perfection.  Here’s my card:Wonderful Year, Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!, Brian King

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

  • Wonderful Year and Candy Cane Lane.  How perfect are these new products together?  The sentiments in Wonderful Year and beautifully bold and grand.  I just love the “graffiti” style of this sentiment.  While the set also includes great accents and coordinating sentiments, I left this bold greeting to fend for itself.  It holds its own beautifully, don’t you think?

    Candy Cane Lane, Stampin’ Up!

  • Stamping the Band.  The sentiment is stamped straight up and down on a long strip of Whisper White cardstock.  After I stamped the sentiment, I glued it (at an angle) to a rectangle panel of candy cane striped paper.  I then snipped the Whisper White paper along the edge of the striped paper.  So easy!  After that, I layered that panel with Real Red and glued it down to a Crumb Cake card base to finish an easy project that might look a bit complicated.
  • Color Combination.  I adore the colors in the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper – Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Real Red and Whisper White.  Does it get more beautiful than that?  This page of paper informed the colors I used on the rest of the card – thank you, Stampin’ Up! for the inspiration.  If you also like this combination of colors, feel free to save this:Stampin' Up!

    Sweet card! I, too, love the colors in this suite. That is sort of funny since I adore green. Who else has a dark Hunter green house, 2 dark green Camry’s and a dark green Silverado truck? When we moved in the neighbors asked if we always matched our vehicles to the house. Honestly, we had not even really realized all was dark green. Anyway, sweet card and I love how you did the sentiment!
