Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic Designer Series Paper

by | Mar 24, 2023 | Happy Birthday Card

I needed a birthday card for my uncle so I made today’s card for him and mailed it off. I have a hard time making cards for males. I always ask my husband, is this card too girly and usually it is! I used Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp sets, Peaceful Moments and Artistically Inked. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List. 

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock and scored it in two places and then folded on the score lines to create my card base. I cut two pieces of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front panels. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink (you could also use Soft Succulent ink) using the stamp set, Peaceful Moments, and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used these same dies to cut a larger circle out of Gold Foil, and adhered the sentiment to it. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals, just at the top and adhered it to the top panel. 

 

 

 

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock for the inside of the card. I added a strip of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper to the top and bottom and stamped the sentiment using Soft Succulent ink and the stamp set, Artistically Inked. Then I adhered it to the inside of the card.

Today’s card was created using Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery (this stamp set will be on sale Thursday). I also did some embossing which always takes a card up a notch! 

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and a piece of Petal Pink cardstock, all the same size (you can find the measurements below the Supply List).  I placed the Petal Pink inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered all three pieces to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered that piece to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Versamark ink and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery.  I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and then heat embossed it (you can find directions for heat embossing below). I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut the decorative circle out of Gold Foil and then adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front. 

 

 

 

 

To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls, in gold, to the front. 

 

How to Heat Emboss

Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it.  Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed (it will be shiny)!
