Wish Big Stampin’ Up! Card

Sheesh! I honestly don’t know where time goes.  Just when it seems like everything is going smoothly and is under control, the craziness seems to start again. Everything seems to take waaaaay longer than anticipated. I think somehow I’m going to have to learn to adapt to craziness on an ongoing basis, otherwise nothing will get done.  

Today I thought I’d share a quick and easy card with you that uses Stampin’ Up!’s Lacy and Lovely stamp set.  I have to say I really love the look of Calypso Coral with Basic Black.  I don’t often turn to Calypso Coral – in fact I can’t even remember the last time I used that color – but it sure looks striking against the black.  Here’s how to make the card:

  1. Take a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Calypso Coral CS and score it at 5 1/2″.  Fold it in half with a bone folder to create a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card.  Set aside for a moment.
  2. Stamp the largest medallion image from the Lacy and Lovely stamp set in Calypso Coral Classic Ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS.
  3. Stamp the “wish big” sentiment onto the center of the stamped medallion in Jet Black Staz On ink using a stamp-a-ma-jig if necessary.
  4. Center the medallion image in the window of the 2 1/2″ circle punch and punch it out.  
  5. Ink up half of the flourish image from the Everything Eleanor stamp set in Jet Black Staz On ink and stamp it in the top right corner of a 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Whisper White CS.
  6. Center and stick the Whisper White CS piece to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic Black CS.
  7. Lay a 6″ piece of the Basic Black Scallop Dots ribbon across the stamped Whisper White CS piece so that the ribbon covers the edge of the stamped image.  Bring the ends of the ribbon around to the back of the black CS and stick them down using double-sided adhesive. Center and stick this piece to the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Calypso Coral card base.
  8. Place some Stampin’ Dimensionals at the top and bottom back of the punched-out medallion image. Remove the backing from the Dimensionals and then stick the medallion over top of the ribbon, towards the left side of the card.
  9. Add a strip of rhinestones from the Rhinestones Basic Jewels underneath the ribbon, to the right of the medallion image.  You’re done!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card.
