Crafty Collaborations May Virtual Swap

I recently took part in the May Crafty Collaborations Virtual Swap. The theme of the swap was “New Products,” so I created a card featuring the new and beautiful “Thoughtful Journey” Designer Series Papers, as well as the “Thoughtful Designs” Specialty Designer Papers. Here is my project from the swap:

This card goes together quickly with some cutting on my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Card Base: 8 1/2″ X 11″, scored at 4 1/4″
• Layer 1: Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, cut at 5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″
• Layer 2: Basic White Cardstock, 4″ by 3 1/2″
• Layer 3: Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Paper, 3 7/8″ by 3 3/8″
• Layer 4: Basic White Cardstock, 4 3/4″ X 2″
• Layer 5: Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, 4 5/8″ by 1 7/8″
• Layer 6: Sentiment Panel from Unbounded Love Dies in Petunia Pop Cardstock

• Cut a standard A2 card base at 8 1/2″ X 11,” scored at 4 1/4.”
• Adhere Layer 1 to the card base. Adhere Layer 3 to Layer 2, then adhere to the card front, centered.
• Adhere Layer 5 to Layer 4, then adhere to the card front, to the left of center.
• Cut the Sentiment Panel from the Unbounded Love dies using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.
• Rub the Embossing Buddy over the sentiment panel, then stamp the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set using the Versamark Pad. Heat emboss the sentiment in white embossing powder using the Heat Tool.
• Tie a bow using the White Baker’s Twine, then adhere on back of sentiment panel.
• Pop the sentiment panel onto card front toward the bottom right using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Embellish with three Adhesive-Backed Pearls in Petunia Pop.
• Optional: Decorate envelope flap with coordinating Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper by applying adhesive to the flap, then adhering patterned paper (cut slightly larger than the flap) to the flap, then snipping excess paper around the flap.
