I’ve been prepping all week for a Card Buffet this weekend. I always look to challenges to spark my creativity when creating the projects for the event.
This time I ran across Hand Stamped Sentiments for some inspirational colors –
I had an idea for a feminine type card, but I needed color direction. These colors were PERFECT!
I was interested in using the Celebrations Duo twice to show off how cool it is. And, cost-effective too! So I came up with this –
I love it!!!! It’s a very similar card to this one.
I spritzed each panel with half water and half alcohol prior to embossing to soften the paper. This is a rather deep impressions folder and it can crease or dimple the card stock if you don’t.
The simple, minimal stamped sentiment goes well with the repeated HAPPY. And the Emerald Envy Baker’s Twine is THE finishing touch this card needed!
I think this will be a popular card this weekend. What do you think?
AWESOME CARD!!!!
Thanks, Shel!
Thank you Shel!
Great job on showing how to use the impressions folder for your festive birthday card and using the colors. Thanks for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
Thanks for stopping by Genevieve to leave a comment!
Oh, what fun this card is Libby! The happy impression is a showstopper and the pop of emerald really puts the icing on the cake! Love this so much!!! Thanks for playing with us at HSS!
