Raspberry Ripple Sorry

Saying sorry has never looked so pretty... This lovely Stampin' Up! exclusive design offers a wonderful collaboration of colors and just the right touch of added 'extras' to make the card perfect. 

 

It's all in the details! 

The intricate detail of the main image from the Field Flowers stamp set really brings this pretty card to the next level.  The beautiful textured stippling 'comes to life' against the crispness of the whisper white card stock and offers a such richness.  The pretty curves of the "S" seems just right for the card too. 

 

Creative Note:

Take a peek at the Raspberry Ripple colored twine weaved through the glitzy faceted button. You can create the same effect using Stampin' Up!'s white bakers twine and a Raspberry Ripple re-inker.  It's just a simple dye job!

 

Complimentary Contrast-

I'm a sucker for Raspberry Ripple!  But I love how the Certainly Celery scallop border POPS agains the Chocolate Chip.  The darker hue offers a nice background so your eye picks up the subtle scallop.  So pretty!

A Sunny Thank You

This card was fun to make - plain and simple...  The combo of the playful font, the colorful Calypso Coral ribbon and the polka dots just made this plain 'ole fun!!

Measuring 5x5 this little ditty is a wonderful handful of bliss and features two big, bold background stamps; Sunflower & Distressed Dots.

A quick stamping tip?  When layering stamp over stamp as I did with the polka dots over the sunflower, it's a good idea to stamp with the lighter color first and then go darker.

Pretty Elizabeth with Polka Dots!

Boy, my camera isn't helping to display the fresh summery feel of the colors on this card.  Please take my word for it... Fresh, Flirty and Fun.  Think 'watermelon' colors!

There's a few different components in this card that I'll share in a minute, but first... take notice of a terrific Designer Series Paper (DSP) that has hit the 'Last Chance' List.  So long Woodland Walk DSP - you're pretty little self will be missed!

Now here's the scoop on the Woodland Walk Paper (117389).

This paper is double sided and you will receive 12 total sheets; 2 pages each of 6 designs.  You can really get some super mileage with this paper because it's so neutral.  There is certainly a masculine feel to some of the patterns, yet you'll also find some simple florals.
The stripes are sweet and the polka dots rock! 


Pssst: I do believe the price of DSP will have a modest increase in the new catalog; you may want to grab a pack of this Woodland Walk paper before it's GONE for good!

Order online through my web store today.  Please make sure that I am listed as your demonstrator to received preferred pricing.
