Light & Wonder Card Ideas

In today’s post I’m sharing some light & wonder card ideas. These cards use products from Stampin’ Up!’s Lights of Aurora suite.

This collection will let the heavenly light of the aurora borealis inspire your crafting. It includes gorgeous paper showcasing waves of cosmic colour, dies for creating stunning natural landscapes, and elegant all-occasion sentiment stamps—everything you need for dreamy handmade cards. Frosted iridescent gems and sheer blue ribbon take your designs to the next level. All you need is to add ink, card stock, and adhesive to complete your projects.

You can find a video showing you how to make these three cards below.

Let’s Take a Closer Look…

The pattern paper really is a show stopper on the first two cards and I love the silhouetted die cut pieces.

Measurements: 

• Blackberry Bliss: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
• Basic Black: 1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (x2); 3-1/2″ x 6″ and scrap for greeting
• Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″ for inside
• Lights of Aurora DSP: 3″ x 5-1/2″
• Silver & White Sheer Ribbon: 5″
• Black Twine: 8″
• Sparkle Gems: x2

There’s something about white embossing on black card stock that is just so striking! I really need to do this more often.

Measurements:

• Balmy Blue: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
• Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside)
• Basic Black: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ and scrap
• Lights of Aurora DSP: 3-3/4″ x 5″ ; 1″ x 3-3/4″ and piece for the envelope flap
• Balmy Blue Sheer Ribbon: 20″
• Sparkle Gems: x2

For the final card I wanted to show you that you don’t need to have the pattern paper to use the bundle. There are so many great ideas for these dies. I’ve seen samples where the trees were cut with fall colours to create a beautiful fall forest scape. It looks so pretty!

Measurements:

• Timid Tiger: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
• Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″; 3-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ and 1/2″ x 4-1/4″
• Darling Duckling: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
• Basic Black: 3-3/4″ x 5″ (die cut the largest Stylish Shapes circle); 2″ x 3″
• Timid Tiger Ribbon: 5″
• Black Twine: 8″

Until next time,
