I’ve created a simple, layered card to share with you today that offers a sweet and stylish way to say, “thanks.” I love the mix of soft colors (Pool Party and Pear Pizzazz), but it’s the blog of Basic Black at the center of the card that modernizes this card a bit. Here’s my card for today:
While there’s been a lot of emphasis lately on the products retiring from Stampin’ Up!’s 2021 Annual Catalog, there are also some wonderful, soon-retiring products that are going away on May 2 (or when supplies run out). The black-and-white grid panel at the center of my card is pulled from the All Together 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, an online-only product that will not be available when Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog goes live on May 3. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the All Together 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:
I love black-and-white papers because I always have the option to add color if I want. I added color to one of the panels in this paper, but it didn’t work out for THIS card. I may work with it a bit and resurrect it in the coming week. 🙂
The “thanks” on my card is cropped with two dies from the Amazing Thanks Dies, sold separately or as a part of the Amazing Silhouettes Bundle. I cropped the largest piece from Thick Basic White and the thin sentiment from Basic Black. I carefully glued them together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then popped up the sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
More about the Amazing Silhouettes Bundle – Both items carry into Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog, but the bundled price (which gives us a 10% discount on both) goes away on May 2. Here’s a look at this incredible bundle, which I use A LOT:
I mounted the “thanks” on a Pear Pizzazz circle I cropped from one of the circles in the Stylish Shapes Dies, new in Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog. These new dies (with tiny dots around the inside of each shape and around the outside). The dies include squares, circles and banners. Yay! Here’s a look at this must-have set of dies from the new catalog (available May 3):
I love to mix black with soft colors. This mix of Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black makes me so happy! If you like this mix of colors as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
