Today I’m sharing 3 stunning ephemera card ideas. Have you noticed the new ephemera packs in the annual Stampin’ Up! catalogue? I’ve been loving them for quick & easy crafting. But they are also great if you’d like to put a little more effort into your project.
You can see some fun place settings I made for an event in this post and then some tags that I shared in this post. Today we’ll be focusing on cards. Apart from the first card, there is no stamping so they come together really quickly.
Thinking of You Card
Do you ever mix vanilla and white? I don’t do it often but do love the look of the two neutrals together. The background needed a little something so I pulled in one of the stamps from the Textured Timber set and used my snips to distress around the edges. Both are great ways to add some texture.
Measurements:
- Very Vanilla: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ ; 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Ephemera: Flower, label shape and greeting
- White Twine: 8″
- Pearls: x3
Today is About You Card
I had this idea in my head to layer a couple label shapes that were sitting on my desk. The scallop oval and leaf are cut from the unbounded love dies.
To add a bit more colour to the white embossed layer I used my blending brush with some mossy meadow ink and then splattered with a black Stampin’ Blend. Then of course I distressed around the edges… my new favourite thing to do:)
Measurements:
- Thick Basic White: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
- Basic White: 3-3/4″ x 5″ embossed with the cute crochet embossing folder; 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″ for die cutting scallop oval
- Mossy Meadow: 2″ x 2″ for die cutting leaf
- Ephemera: label shape and greeting
- White Twine: 8″
- Pearls: x5
Celebrate Card
In the fully flowering ephemera pack, there are some black & white flowers. They look amazing black & white but if you like a bit of colour – they look even better coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used a combination of lemon lolly and peach pie to colour these ones in.
Measurements:
- Thick Basic White: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
- Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″ embossed with the cute crochet embossing folder
- Country Woods DSP: 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″
- Ephemera: black & white flower, Celebrate and greeting
- White Twine: 18″
