Best Wishes with the Darling Label Punch Box

On Saturday, I shared a project that showcases the the Tropical Chic stamp set and coordinating Tropical Thinlits Dies. You can see that post here. Today I’ve made a quick-and-simple card that features the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper (gorgeous!) and the stamp set and punch from the Darling Label Punch Box. Here’s my card:Darling Label Punch Box, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingTips, Tricks and Reminders

  • Tropical Escape & Darling Label Punch. The Tropical Escape 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is filled with a gorgeous mix of pink and green patterns (with a couple of Basic Black images thrown in for good measure). I’ve featured four of the Blushing Bride patterns in 1-1/2″ squares behind the sentiment at the focal point of the card. Here’s a look at the gorgeous Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper: Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up! 146916The focal sentiment is both stamped with a sentiment and cropped with a punch from the Darling Label Punch Box, my #1 Favorite Thing from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog.

  • White Frames & Colorful Layers. I love the crispness of a thin frame around panels on a card. I am especially drawn toe white frames – they are so crisp and really pop against beautiful color panels. I added an extra panel of Granny Apple Green (with a white border) behind my sentiment to pull some more of the gorgeous green into the center of the card. Here’s a closer look:Darling Label Punch Box, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingMy sentiment is embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Soft Suede cardstock (again, a callback to another layer on the card) and punched with the Darling Label punch.
  • Sweet Color Combination. I pulled Blushing Bride and Granny Apple Green right from the pack of Tropical Escape 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – what a brilliant combination! Soft Suede looks great with pink and with green, so I knew it would look good with this bright green and soft pink.

    Simply lovely color combination Brian, the layering is just so perfectly balanced, love the way you framed your focal point sentiment, although apparently small, it packs a PUNCH!!!!!
