Delightfully Detailed

I'm in love with the new Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Paper.  This is the perfect product for cards, whether you are new to paper crafting or an "old salt".  With two distinct designs the possibilities are nearly endless.  And you get 4 sheets of each.  AND one side is Whisper White, while the reverse side is Very Vanilla.  How wonderful does it get?

Let's take a look at some easy cards:


My first sample is about as easy as it gets.  One of the pieces of Laser Cut paper has 6 "frames" and a number of "borders".  Start by cutting off the border pieces, and then cut each of the frame pieces with 3 easy cuts.  You are left with 6 individual pieces, approximately 3-3/4" x 5", just right for a card layer.


This panel of vines "made" the card.  All I had to do was choose a color for the card base and my card was essentially done.

I took a piece of Mossy Meadow (SO happy to have this color back!), cut it to 4-1/4" x 11", and folded it in half.  I also scored it, using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, at 1/8" on all four sides.

Then I placed the leafy DSP on a Silicone Mat and, using a Stampin' Sponge, lightly dabbed Multipurpose Glue over the back side.  Then I set it in place on my card.


The sentiment, from Rooted in Nature, was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock and adhered with Dimensionals.  

Then, because I had 5 more frames sitting on my desk, I made this:


Again, very easy.  This card was done in Berry Burst.  I cut a piece of cardstock the same size as my frame and ran it through the Big Shot with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder.  Then, using the Silicone Mat as above, I added the frame, using the Very Vanilla side.  This piece was layered on a piece of Merry Merlot, and then to the Berry Burst base.


"Enjoy today", from Eastern Beauty, was stamped in Berry Burst ink on Very Vanilla paper and punched with a circle punch.  Popping it up with Dimensionals completed my card.



Simple!

Now for those of you who want to step it up a bit, take a look at two cards I posted previously, both using this same Delightfully Detailed DSP:


One more of the "frames"; it highlights the cute vases from Varied Vases.  You can revisit this card here.

And then I used one of the other pieces of DSP - the lace panel:


Such a pretty way to send your best wishes!  More details here.

Give Delightfully Detailed a try; I suspect this paper is flying off the Stampin' UP! shelves, and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!

Delightful Vases

Here's a winning combination:  Varied Vases and Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Paper.  Take a look:


Is that not a perfect card?  (Not that I'm trying to get praise here, but I truly think this is a "just right" card!)

I started with one of my favorite new colors - Coastal Cabana.  This returning color makes me SO happy!  And pairing it with Bermuda Bay makes me want to do handsprings!


I started with a piece of Bermuda Bay and stamped the "ledge" from Varied Vases on it.  I then stamped the vases with Tuxedo Black and Coastal Cabana, and punched them with the matching Vases Builder Punch.  I also stamped the orchid and fussy cut it; happily the leaves for the succulent can also be punched.  See the little Artisan Pearls added to the orchid?



I selected the beautiful oval from the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Paper and popped it up with lots of Dimensionals.  The sentiment was punched with the Modern Label punch.  So easy!


I just had to add it all to my Coastal Cabana card base and I was done!  Easy and so pretty!

Delightful Anniversary

While the anniversary itself is delightful - it's my son and daughter-in-law's 12th wedding anniversary, the paper I used, the gorgeous new Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper, is truly delightful, and is available now:


 This just made me happy!  Why?  Let me count the ways:

1.  The colors - Gorgeous Grape is a luscious purple color, and a new addition to the Brights Color Family.  Highland Heather is a lighter version, and compliments the grape color so well.  And Lemon Lime Twist?  How can you go wrong?

2.  That impressive laser-cut paper - This is only one of the overlay panels that comes in the package. There are two sheet designs--one is a delicate lace-like look (you get 4 sheets of this, each piece being 12" x 12"), and the other, which I used here, is a 12" x 12" square with two border pieces and 6 panels, all different, to be cut apart and added to your cards.  You get 4 of these sheets too, for a total of 8 lovely pages to make lots and lots of cards!  And the best?  One side is Whisper White and flip it for Very Vanilla.  Such versatility!

3.  That sponging - I used a sponge dauber to lightly sponge some Lemon Lime Twist on some of the flowers.


4.  That sentiment - from Beautiful Bouquet.  I just love that pretty font!


5.  The large flower - from Oh So Eclectic, stamped in Gorgeous Grape, with Highland Heather shading.  And so easy to cut out, with the coordinating Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies.

6.  Again, the flower - LOVE the cluster of pearls in the center.  They are the new Share What You Love Artisan Pearls and come in 5 colors.  Perfect!

Wishing Evan and Christy a lovely day, just like the card we sent them.
