We LOVE Stampin’ Up! for so many reasons – but one of the best has to be the Gorgeous papers they keep producing! This year is no different – besides the fantastic Designer Series papers there are so many new Specialty papers that it is so difficult to choose what to show you – so I thought I would show you a bunch of different cards using different types of specialty papers!
Cork Specialty paper (#156393) featured on page 55 of the July to December 2021 mini catalog is amazingly thin cork with paper backing allowing you to cut this paper without tearing. You can stamp directly onto the paper and it adds the most incredible texture to your cards. To this card I stamped a few leaves from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set (#153365), added Brushed Metallic Adhesive backed Dots (#156506) and the Gold Fine Art ribbon (#154561)
I used the Cork Specialty paper on this second sample and added black cardstock with silhouette die cuts from the Nature’s Harvest bundle. (#156813). The Black and White Gingham ribbon (#156485) and Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (#156506) complete the look!
Starting with the coordinating color of cardstock- Poppy Parade, I mounted a 2″ x 5 1/2″ strip of the newer Ombre Specialty paper (#155784) to the front of the card. I added a white Nature’s Harvest die and the some ribbon to finish the card.
Silver Foil Specialty pack (#156457) creates the perfect sparkly material for snowflakes! I splattered some Wink of Stella on the base of the card! Adhered the die cut snowflake from the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle!
Last but not least this card is made with the 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum. I cut the vellum to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere it to the Basic White cardstock with the multi-purpose glue all over the back of the vellum! Added a black die cut from the Artistic Dies set!
Can you see that Shimmer – crazy sparkle!! I LOVE it! Hopefully I have inspired you to go out and create some art – one stamp at a time!
