A Totally Awesome Card Using Stampin'Up! Lighting the Way Stamps & Dies
July 18, 2023
Today we're creating A Tottaly Awesome Card Using Stampin'Up! Light the Way Stamps and Dies. It's now mid-summer and outside in the evenings (if you're lucky) you'll be seeing fun fireflies blinking away! This was the inspiration for the cards this week.
Here's today's card...
& here's a closer look....
There are so many intriguing features on this card that it's hard to know where to begin...so let's talk about the background designer paper---you simply can't find a better background for the lightning bugs than a starry night! The Stargazing set has tons of starry sky designs you can select from-this means you can make tons of these cards with that set of papers.
The lantern and bugs we die cut from the holographic specialty paper--what sparkle, what shine, and the wavery glowing colors--there was just not a better paper from which to die cut these images. It's usually tough to capture shine and shimmer in a photo but the holographic paper sparkles like magic in the photo.
The additional diagonal striped vellum reminds me of light rays and since we are playing with lots of light in this card--I thought it was perfect!
I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.
