Crafting Connections: Sheila Moreton’s Exquisite Card Swap Creation

Today, we are highlighting a beautiful creation by Sheila Moreton for the Creative Stampers’ Team Annual Catalogue swap 2024. Sheila’s card showcases meticulous craftsmanship and creative flair, seamlessly blending Stampin’ Up! products with vibrant colors.

Sheila used Thick Basic White cardstock for the base, layered with Basic White and Petunia Pop cardstock. The design is enhanced with the Thoughtful Journeys Designer Series Paper (DSP), adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The card features the Exposed Brick embossing folder, which adds a textured, tactile element to the background.

The focal point is the “Best Friend” sentiment, beautifully displayed on the front panel, and inside, the message “thinking of you” adds a heartfelt touch. The inks used are Petunia Pop and Misty Moonlight, providing a rich palette that complements the design perfectly.

Embellishments include Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels and a touch of Wink of Stella for that extra sparkle. The white ¼ inch diagonal trim ribbon, colored with a Petunia Pop blend pen, ties the whole design together.
