Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Karen Robinson | Crazy About Basket Bunch
I really, really love glimmer paper so when the *new* Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack became available I was in glimmer heaven and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Glimmer paper really packs a punch and I find a little goes a long way so it seemed perfect for the Paper Players challenge this week where it could take centre stage and do its thing 🙂
I originally made just one card for this challenge but I liked it so much I just had to make more. The new glimmer pack has Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron and Sweet Sugarplum, but I had to add some Blushing Bride to round it out. I can see these colours will be making regular appearances in my Easter projects this year 🙂
I used the Basket Bunch Bundle to create a subtle background for each card using the coordinating inks and die cut a bunny to add a just little extra texture.
The glimmer “happy” was die cut using the Hello You Thinlits and the word Easter is from the coordinating Crazy About You stamp set.
A thin border of the matching cardstock added just the extra element I wanted, I really like that extra hint of colour around the edge.
Inside has the same layers as the front and the little bunny in just one corner, simple and sweet 🙂
I hope you like this look at the new glimmer papers, it was difficult to photograph them well, they’re super sparkly in person. I don’t tend to send Easter cards but most definitely will be this year, these are too pretty to waste.
See you soon!
Cheers,
Karen
