Well I had so much fun playing with the gorgeous Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series paper that I wanted to show you a simple variation on the card I posted Monday.
Measurements:
Base: Very Vanilla 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″ cut 1″ strip off the card
front’s right edge
Naturally Gilded SDSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″ cut an inch
off the right hand side
Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper 1 1/2″ strip
Very Vanilla: Save the 1″ strip cut from the card
for the die cut

Adhere the 3″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Specialty Designer series paper to the card front.
Adhere the 1″ strip of Specialty Designer Series Paper to the right inside edge of the card leaving a 1/8″ border around the right side and the top and bottom edges.
Cut a 5 1/2″ strip from the 1 1/2″ strip of Brushed Metallic Gold paper and then cut in half lengthwise so you end up with two pieces of 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ strips. Adhere the strip under the right edge of the card front, making sure that the border is even.
I die cut just a portion of the smaller long banner from the Stylish Shapes die set and hand trimmer a matte in Brushed Metallic Gold Specialty paper for the backing. Adhere together using Stampin’ Seal.
Die cut a small butterfly from the Brilliant Wings die set and add two mini Dimensionals to the center of the butterfly. Adhere to the top right hand side of the card front.
Pop up the sentiment and adhere to the bottom portion of the card aligning the edge of the sentiment piece to the edge of the Naturally Gilded paper.
Just removing an inch of cardstock from the original card front changes the look and feel of the card. Something so simple, yet very effective. Go and Create some art of your very own today! One stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
