Lovely Wishes with Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper

I was so happy to attend a team member’s club meeting last weekend. When she asked me to make a simple make-and-take, I immediately reached for the NEW Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper for a tall, narrow note card. Here’s the card we made at the club get together:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Shiny Things. This simple card (it’s a 3-1/2″ x 9″ card base, scored at 4-1/2″) showcases three shiny things that don’t cause a mess – I love shiny but have no time for shiny things that stick to everything I own. I think you know what I’m talking about – it starts with a “g” and ends with “litter.” Anyhow, metallic foils are awesome!
  • The Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (one of the new items you can select with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration) comes with glossy white paper in three colors of foil – gold, silver and rose gold. Here’s a look at this amazing paper:

  • The layer above that is Sweet Soirée Specialty Designer Series Paper – such a great pack of papers with gorgeous, rich designs. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this pack of Specialty Papers:
  • I framed the simple sentiment on this card with a 1-1/2″ Circle punch of Silver Foil. What a perfect accent for two papers that are designed with such great silver accents!
• Adding Color. The white, glossy base of the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is perfect – there’s really no need to add color for a gorgeous card. If you really want to step it up a bit, you can always color the paper with any of Stampin’ Up!’s classic inks. To add a touch of Calypso Coral to this foil-striped paper, I rolled the panel with a Sponge Brayer. I added a consistent amount of ink on this card and then wiped the panel with a Stampin’ Up! paper towel (page 234 of the Annual Catalog). During the demonstration, though, I created an ombré effect by starting at one side and rolling up to get a lighter look at the top of the card with less ink. If you don’t have a Sponge Brayer, be sure to add one to your list!

• The Envelope. The envelope for this narrow note card is pulled from the Whisper White Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes – you HAVE to have these! On several occasions, I’ve glued a piece of Designer Series Paper (cropped with a 2-1/2″ Circle punch) on the inside of the envelope. Since I was working with a thick Specialty Designer Series Paper on this project, though, I covered the back flap of the envelope and trimmed around the edges of the flap. Look at all of the shine on this card and envelope flap:
