I finally had a chance to create using the designer series papers receiving rave reviews: The Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Papers, found in the Online Exclusives section at stampinup.com. Here’s my project! Keep scrolling for the instructions on how to make this yourself!

These papers have a beautiful soft look, and some give the impression of the Emboss Resist technique. But you don’t have to do anything — just use these lovely papers, and the effect is gorgeous!

Thanks to Sue Vine at Miss Pink Craft Spot for the inspiration for my card. I started out with a Basic White card base, cut at 5 1/2 by 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. I cut another Basic White panel at 5 1/2 by 4 1/4″ and ran it through the Cut and Emboss Machine using the Cane Weave Embossing Folder. I then took the second largest die from the Deckled Rectangles Dies and positioned it to make a diagonal cut across the embossed panel, like so:

Next, I trimmed the bottom portion of the embossed piece straight across the bottom so there was a bigger gap between the two white panels in order for more DSP to show through.

I then cut a panel of DSP at 4 1/4 by 4″ or so to adhere in the middle of the card front. Then I added the two embossed panels to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it some dimension.

Lastly, I stamped a sentiment in Flirty Flamingo from the Ginkgo Branch Stamp Set onto a white scrap and punched it out using the Lovely Label Pick a Punch. I LOVE this for quick and easy sentiments! I added some Iridescent Rhinestones and White Baker’s Twine to finish it off!
Don’t forget, the Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is part of the recent Online Exclusives offering – and it is GORGEOUS! GET IT NOW! 🙂
