Paper! It’s Not Just for Cards

I love paper!  With each and every Stampin’ Up! catalog release there’s always one pack of paper that I fall in love with and use over and over again.  If you follow my blog, you’ve probably already guessed that Birthday Bouquet is my current favorite.

One of the ways that I like to use my paper is to place it in the cover sleeve of a binder.  The binder on the right shows one design from Birthday Bouquet and the Copic binder paper has unfortunately retired.

I typed up the titles on my computer and then cut them out with the Ovals Framelits.  The largest die in the set has the scalloped edges which was perfect as a base for my title.  It’s a fun way to jazz up a binder!

I’d love to hear other ways that you’ve used paper!

Have a great day!

Updated:  I realized that I forgot to list the most important punches that I used to create my flower:  1-3/4″ Circle Punch for the actual flowers and the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch (currently on the retirement list) for the base.

A Little Bit of Masking

Helping Me Grow with Copics

Today’s card uses some masking and it was my first time trying this technique.  My flowers are from the set Helping Me Grow and my sentiment is in the Rose Wonder set.

I used Memento ink to stamp my flowers and colored them in with  Copic markers.  Using some masking paper, I stamped and cut out two flowers.   I stamped one flower onto my Whisper White card base and then covered it up with the mask.

Then I stamped on top of the mask to give the illusion of one flower being behind the other one.  Sometimes I had to place the mask on two flowers at a time.  It’s a fun technique!

I’m definitely a beginner using Copic markers but I do love them.  For my purple flowers I used: V01, V04 and V17 and the yellow ones are: Y1, Y15 and Y17.  I outlined the edges with C3. I wanted to use some Wink of Stella for a touch of sparkle but I didn’t have any on hand.  Don’t you hate it when that happens?!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I’ve listed all of the Stampin’ Up! products that I used below.  If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
