Cardmaking gives us an opportunity to bless those around us by using our creativity to share kindness and love. Many times, these are happy occasions and at other times these are sad occasions. Especially at these times, a handmade card with a heartfelt note means a lot to someone who is going through a rough patch.
For Colour Palette #42 I created a sympathy card. These cards can be quite difficult to create because I for one, tend to want to create happy cards.
I used the Painted Lavender bundle with the Perennial Postage dies to create a card with a simply layout. The addition of the striped Designer Series Paper really brings out the lavender in Gorgeous Grape.
Embossing is a beautiful and quick way to add texture. Here I’ve used the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder which comes with a stamp set. Available during our Sale-A-Bration promotion, this bundle can be yours free with an order of $180 until 29th February.

Today’s fun tip for using our Designer Series Paper is all about texture. I am a huge fan of embossing folders as they add instant texture to projects with very little effort. With a single run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine Stampin’ Up!’s various embossing folders will create a raised design on your cardstock or DSP.
Emboss it
This sympathy card uses the Peony Garden suite. I embossed a piece of the marbled paper with the Parisian Flourish embossing folder. Add a stamped and die cut image, simple sentiment, ribbon and you’ve got a quick card which has texture to it as well.
The By the Dock stamp set is a really fun set and makes great men’s cards. I created a ripple look for the water theme by running some In Good Taste DSP through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Old World Paper Embossing Folder. The kayak was coloured in Stampin’ Blends with the jetty stamped in Early Espresso on Soft Suede cardstock.
Don’t you just love the little fish in the Artistry Blooms DSP water? I coloured the fish with Stampin’ Blends directly over the Designer Series Paper and the colour showed up well over it.
Join me tomorrow for a Facebook Live at 5pm where I will show you another fun way to use your Designer Series Paper.
