Creating Your Own Stampin'Up! Designer Paper In the Color You Want!
April 18, 2023
Today we're Creating Your Own Stampin'Up! Designer Paper in the Color You Want! Amazing, right? It's so easy and you can actually create it in 3 different designs...here's how....we're using Vellum Basics...when you overlay these vellum designs on colored cardstock you can create the Designer Paper that you want in any color.....
Here's today's card for an example...
and a closer look...
See how the design of the vellum is brought forward by using a color underneath. (BTW the sampling of the vellum shown above has black cardstock underneath to highlight the vellum design). I do find that medium and dark colors work best to bring out the design, however, even the subtle tones give it a lovely soft effect.
So Stampin'Up! has 40 colors in the four families and 10 more in the two In Color sets--you can create 50 X 3 designs = 150 different designer papers by simply using a packet of the Vellum Basics...isn't that amazing!
The above card uses the Grape-silver foil from the Silver Foil paper (carrying over) for the leaf arc...it's difficult to capture the shine in the photo but you get a better view with the close up photo.
The accent piece is that darlng dragonfy trinket (retiring). The shiny engraved silver just shines so brightly and coordinates wonderfully with the Grape-silver foil
Stop back next Thursday to see what we're up to with another card using this technique!
