Another Amazing Card Using Stampin'Up! Lighting the Way Stamps & Dies
July 20, 2023
Today we're creating Another Amazing Card Using Stampin'Up! Lighting the Way Stamps & Dies. Tuesday our card was based on the beautful starry sky...if you missed it check it out here... Click here to see Tuesday's card.
Today's card is set in a flower garden during the evening hours...
And a bit closer look...
I fell in love withe the Magnificently Made designer series paper the first time I laid eyes on it...and this happens to be my favorite design in the set...the shaded blue in the background sky is just the right setting for fireflies in the evening spent in your flower garden.
Again, as with Tuesday's card we used the holographic specialty paper for the lantern die cut. It is amazing what an impact this paper has on the overall card design and appearance. Cutting the lantern from any other paper would result in a lovely card but this paper really pushes the card appearance over the top into the very special category!
Instead of a die cut this time we used the "glow" circle stamp for the lantern light and we stamped the fireflies instead of using die cuts. This helps to bring the focus attention on the lantern and how special it appears.
We can certainly use this card for many occasions...birthday, thinking of you, celebration, thank you...so this is another card you can create several and keep them in your summertime stash for times when your time is short!
I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.
