Saturday Blog Hop – Paper Perfection

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Connie and Mary Blog Hop. This week our theme is “Paper Perfection”…showing off Stampn’ Up!’s wonderful new designer paper!

TRUSTY TOOLBOX DESIGNER PAPER

This DSP is one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration options with purchase in January and February (or while supplies last). I let the DSP do all the work again on my card, except for the stamped greeting!  These tool images are so fun to cut out and use.  Pro tip:  Cut out one entire sheet of the tool images at one time, then you have them on hand to quickly make up your card or project!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Gray Granite cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Black cardstock was added on top.
• The 2-3/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Trusty Toolbox ruler DSP (SAB) was added down the center.
• Gray Granite cardstock was cut with the Nested Essentials Die and stamped with the Perennial Postage greeting in Memento Black Ink.  It was added to the front.
• The tools were hand-cut from the Trusty Toolbox DSP and added around the label with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A trio of Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots were added to the label.

 

 

The greeting in Perennial Postage stamp set was PERFECT for the measuring tape image! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
