Many times if a stamp set comes with a suite of products or designer paper, we stick with the colors in the papers. I decided to try something a little different today with this very Tropical set. I know, going rogue again. Not really, just playing around with different colors. Let me know what you think. If you want to check out the video, I did a Facebook Live (every Thursday at 644 central) on My Stamp Studio. Here is the link to watch the video on Facebook: ARTFULLY COMPOSED ONLINE CLASS

All the products used to make this card are listed below. This is a SIP card. What is a SIP card? A card made with Stamps, Ink, Paper. No dies or embellishments nothing super fancy-smanchy. Quick and easy but fun to make. Pick 3 colors- grab your stamps, your ink and card stock and you are on your way.

Measurements:

  • Crumb Cake Cardstock: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (scored at 4 1/4″)
  • Early Espresso Cardstock: 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Very Vanilla Cardstock: 5″ x 3 3/4″, 5 1/4″ x 4″, 1″ x 3 1/4″
  • Cajun Craze Cardstock: 3″ 2 1/2″

Continuing on, the next card is a Pocket Card, but this time I did use the colors from the Artfully Composed Designer Paper. I did not have to make one substitution as Just Jade is no longer available. I swapped it with Soft Succulent and it turned out great!

This card features a insert that you can easily slide out and stamp and write a greeting on, or you can add a gift card by simply placing a glue dot on the back of the gift card and attaching to the insert. You may want to watch the video for tips on how to create the pocket and flap if you are using directional DSP. I cut the DSP the wrong directions a few times when I first made the card. oops! I did add some of the Shimmery Vellum In color specialty paper which is no longer available, but you can easily swap it out with other cardstock

Measurements:

  • Artfully Composed DSP: 4″ x 12″ score at 5 1/2″ and 10″
  • Soft Succulent Cardstock: 5 /4″ x 3 3/4″
  • Basic White Cardstock: 3 5/8″ x 5 1/8″
  • 15″ of Frayed Ribbon

The third card during the Online Class is a fun alternate color combo featuring the new Parakeet Party In Color. It is such a pretty, bright and vibrant color. I also used the new Fern 3d Embossing folder found on page 176 of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. The fern embossing folder was used on the Lovely Layers Vellum and Pale Papaya Cardstock for a subtle yet distinctive background. Oh and we cannot forget the envelope! no naked envelopes today. I used the Parakeet Party In color and stamped off the image.

Can you see the amazing Fern embossing on the Lovely Layers Vellum and Pale Papaya cardstock?
