Layers of pretty soft colors and a sweet sentiment combine for a lovely spring card. I just love the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and the coordinating Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. They have been the highlight of the 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. As a new catalog is going to be released on June 3rd, it seems good to highlight the best items in the outgoing catalog, and this is one of the best!
The colors used here blend so well together and give a very soft look to today’s card. A little gold was used for “bling”!
The card base of Crumb Cake card stock was layered first with a 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ piece of Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Then a 5″ x 3-3/4″ piece of Soft Sea Foam card stock was stamped in Crumb Cake ink and the cursive lettering stamp from the Very Versailles stamp set. It was then distressed with Paper Snips. A 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Vellum card stock was glued on top for additional softness.
A 3″ x 2″ piece of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper was distressed on the edges; a 3″ x 2″ piece of Whisper White card stock was embossed with the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder and then distressed. Petal Pink Metallic Edged Ribbon was tied in a bow around this piece and the Whisper White piece was adhered to the other piece with Multipurpose Glue. Both of these layers were then adhered to the Vellum piece at an angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using Paper Snips, I fussy cut a pretty magnolia flower and attached leaves from a piece of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. The flower was adhered to the lower left side of the Whisper White layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink on a scrap of Basic Black card stock. Be sure to wipe the card stock first with the Embossing Buddy. Dust the ink with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set with a Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment apart with Paper Snips and adhere to the card as shown with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Gilded Gems for bling!

How do you “distress” card stock or designer series paper?
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog today! To distress card stock or designer series paper you “rough it up” with your scissors. I have a video tutorial that demonstrates how I do it. Here is the link for you:

There are also distressing tools out there and you could search online for them, but I find that my scissors do the trick 🙂
Thanks again for stopping by my blog, and Happy Distressing! 🙂
Your card is GORGEOUS!!!! Love the distressing and all the layers, not to mention doing the sentiments on black CS with white embossing powder!
