exploring luster paper
I am one of those people that LOVES glitter – don’t care that it is messy just love the sparkle! But if you can get the sparkle without the mess even better right? I love Wink of Stella for that reason but the new 2023-2025 In Color 12″ x 12″ Luster Specialty paper is next level – all the sparkle and shimmer with none of the mess!
The Boho Blue Luster paper brought to mind the shimmer of the water and I just knew that I wanted to make a Waves of Inspiration card!
Measurements:
Base: Azure Afternoon 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
Luster paper: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic white Layer inside: (2) 4 ” x 5 1/4″
scraps for wave, cloud sentiment and bird
dies
Using the third largest Deckled Frame die cut one of the Basic White layers. Adhere a window sheet to the frame.
Die cut the card front with the same size deckle Frame die. Add the White frame/Window Sheet side inside to the inside of the card front covering the opening you just made.
Die cut the same frame in the Luster paper layer and using the inside part of the die cut a wave die from the left over inside square.
Die cut out of Basic White scraps, 2 clouds, 4 birds, 1 wave.
Stamp the sentiment and die cut the sentiment piece.
Adhere the Boho Blue Luster paper wave over the window sheet and then glue the white wave over the blue one. You will need to trim the edges to fit under the Boho Blue Luster frame.

Add a pencil mark where the wave edge should be to match up on the Basic White Cardstock inside layer and then stamp the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set onto the white layer.
Adhere the layer to the inside of the card.
I added Wink of Stella to the inside wave – it is impossible to photograph the subtle sparkle of the wave but trust me it is fabulous!

Adhere the Luster paper frame to the outside of the card covering the wave edges and add the clouds and birds to the frame around the edges.
Add three Tinsel Four-pack gems to the card front.
Add the sentiment piece to the center bottom of the outside luster frame and the card is complete. I LOVE the shine!!
