Easy Card Design | Words of Wisdom Collection | Paper Rose Studio

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

Sometimes the simplest cards become the most meaningful — especially when they’re created from pieces you already have on hand.  Today’s card design is a wonderful reminder that even scrap paper can be transformed into something beautiful with a little creativity and the right finishing touches.

Using the gorgeous Words of Wisdom Collection along with the Embossed Die Cuts, this project is quick, easy and perfect for making the most of your leftover supplies.

A Simple Design with Big Impact

One of my favourite ways to use scrap paper is by combining coordinating patterns into clean, layered designs.  The papers in the Words of Wisdom collection work beautifully together, making it easy to mix patterns, textures and colours without overthinking the layout.

Final Thoughts

This easy card design proves that beautiful handmade cards don’t need complicated techniques or lots of supplies.  With a scrap from the Words of Wisdom Collection, Embossed Die Cuts, you can create something thoughtful, creative and uniquely yours.

So before you throw away those leftover paper pieces, see what inspiration they might become.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Mother’s Day Card | Soft Pastel Colours

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I thought I would share a couple of cards I’ve created over the next couple of weeks.

There’s something quietly powerful about a card that speaks simplicity — where black and white set the stage and gentle pastel tones whisper the rest.  This Mother’s Day, I wanted to create something that reflects just that – strength, softness and the beauty found in thoughtful details.

The foundation of the card begins with a crisp white embossed base layered against a layer of black.  This contrast creates a timeless elegance.

To soften the monochrome palette, a soft & delicate banner was added down the left side.  This piece was actually a scrap from the pack of pattern paper & set the tone for the card.

Hand-punched daisies in white are simple & timeless!  Who else loves daisies?

The white embossed punched leaf adds texture and depth, catching the light just enough to create movement without overwhelming the design.

To finish, a soft pink embellishment ties everything together.  It’s a small detail, but one that draws the eye and completes the card.

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!
