Simply Elegant suite

 Hi Stampers! 

I'm back today with another featured suite from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, the "Simply Elegant" suite. If you like metallic accents on your creations, don't miss this set of fabulous products featuring copper, gold and silver alone and together! Here's the card I made to play with this fun set:

My purpose for this card was to do a different fold as well as show off some beautiful Designer Series Paper, the "Elegantly Said" pack. I used this card for a recent class and I think everyone "ooohed and aaahed" when I showed them the gorgeous paper with all the metallic foil accents. What is really versatile is that many of these papers combine metals so you aren't restricted to only gold or silver or copper on your design but can actually combine them.  The card fold is super easy. You need a base of 4-1/4" x 8-1/2", scored at 5-1/2".  The top flap is shorter than the bottom so you can add something to peek out like I did. On my inside, half of the Basic White sheet was plain and half had some DSP adhered to it. I wanted to be sure there was a place to write a greeting! My extra piece adhered to the top flap is Basic White cardstock with a wonderful flourish stamp using Basic Grey. I grabbed some retired Copper metallic ink for my birthday greeting, framed it with Copper Foil paper and added some metallic gems, part of the July-Dec Mini Catalog products.  I don't want to forget to mention the unique punch which made the tag part of this card. It's part of the "Elegantly Said" bundle and is unlike any other punch we offer. It was easy to tie some copper ribbon around the top of it! This is a fun but very fancy card for your fanciest of friends!

I want to show you a picture of the bundle in its entirety because there are so many more sentiments and other stamps in this great set:

I think this bundle is especially handy for wedding and anniversary cards and so did the artist who created it! I would be remiss not to show you the Designer Series Paper as well!

It's beautiful isn't it! The foil accents are on one side of each paper and the other sides have gray/black/white/cream designs that you can use "as is" or add color to with a sponge, brayer or our blending brush. So many options!!

 Thanks for stopping by to take a peak at what I'm up to today. Designing cards is my favorite part of the process and it's even more fun to share my ideas! You can get any or all of these products by clicking on one of the pictures below which will take you to the online store.

Hope you are having a great week full of creative stamping therapy!

Happy Stampin'!
