SENDING A SMILE

I apologize for the quality of this photo. The main portion of the card is a shiny metallic cardstock. No matter what I tried, I could not improve on it.

Trust me when I tell you that this is a simply exquisite card -- simple being the key word. In this card, we are letting the Designer Series Paper do pretty much all of the work.

Follow along for a tutorial on making a card similar to this one.

SUPPLIES

White cardstock

Specialty Designer Series Paper

Merry Messages stamp set

VersaMark ink

Big Shot

Something Fancy Dies

Polished Dots

Stampin' Dimensionals

Embossing Buddy

Copper Embossing Powder

Heat Tool

DIRECTIONS

Fold a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of white cardstock in half, creasing it well with a bone folder.

Cut a piece of shiny metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (or any other similar paper) with a face-to-face design to 3 3/4" x 5". Mount it to the white card base.

Since this DSP is so gorgeous on its own, we are not going to add too much to the card. Don't you agree?

Rub an Embossing Buddy over a scrap of white cardstock. In VersaMark ink, stamp your sentiment. Emboss it with copper embossing power. Use a label die to cut it out. The die I used is from the Something Fancy set..

Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the cut out sentiment to the lower right corner.

Add a trio of shiny gems to finish off the look.

Shiny

Smiles.
