Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

If you love the look of white-on-white layers with touches of colour, texture and style, this embossed “Just for You” card is the perfect project to try!  It combines elegant simplicity with just enough detail to make it feel special — ideal for birthdays, thank-yous or any thoughtful gesture.

 Supplies Used

  • White cardstock – for base and embossed layer – Paper Rose Studio Basic White Smooth Cardstock
  • Coloured layers – Paper Rose Studio Midnight Navy Smooth Cardstock
  • Embossing folder (your choice of texture – floral, geometric, or dots) – Linen Embossing Folder
  • Patterned paper (soft or neutral tones work best) – 49 & Market Vintage Artisty Serenity Collection
  • Rub-ons or sentiment transfer (butterflies & misc) – 49 & Market Vintage Artisty Serenity Collection
  • Sentiment stamp – Paper Rose Studio
  • Foam tape or adhesive dots (for dimension)
  • Paper trimmer and bone folder

Design Tip

White layers make any card feel clean and modern.  Mixing textures — like embossing with smooth patterned paper — adds visual depth without cluttering the design.

Perfect For

This card is great for:

  • Thoughtful gifts or thank-you cards

  • Simple but elegant stationery sets

  • Quick makes for card swaps or craft fairs

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Whimsical Spring Digital Kit by Lavender Blu

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Have you seen the fun, bold & bright Whimsical Spring Digital Kit from Lavender Blu Digitals?  Be sure to pop over to Fiona’s Esty Shop to check it & other kits you may want to purchase.

The designs & colours of purples, blues, oranges, purples, pinks, etc in this kit are gorgeous.  They are out of my comfort zone but the patterns & colours just appealed to me so much.

I went for something a little different today & stuck to the 1 piece of the paper to create my card.

  1. Place 4 different sizes of Stitched Rectangle Dies onto a piece of Pattern Paper so that they fit into each other & are even around all sides.  This will give you your “frames”
  2.  Adhere all pieces to Basic White Smooth Cardstock
  3. Adhere the larger rectangle direct to the Base Card
  4. Apply Dimensional Tape to the 2nd rectangle prior to adhereing back in place matching the pattern correctly
  5. Apply 2 layers of Dimensional Tape to the last rectangle prior to adhering back in place matching the pattern correctly

Supplies

  • Whimsical Spring Digital Kit – Lavender Blu Journals
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Berry Burst Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!

Until next time, have a crafty day – Vicky
