CARD INSPIRATION

Very Vanilla is a great color for adding softness to a card. It also pairs very well with our Pearl Basic Jewels.  Here are the instructions for making this week’s card.

Use a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ (scored and folded at 4-1/4″ on the long side) piece of Very Vanilla Thick cardstock for the card base. Cut a strip of floral paper from the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 5-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ and adhere to the card base about a 1/4″ from the left side. Stamp the sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Mossy Meadow ink. Die cut it out with the second largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Adhere this piece to the card with Dimensionals, overlapping the DSP piece. Add 5 pearls to the card.

I hope you are excited to get making with Very Vanilla!  Next time we will take a look at the color Gorgeous Grape, so don’t forget to follow along here and on social media.  I look forward to seeing what you make, so please tag me (@mackenziemakes) and use the hashtag #makewithcolor when you share on social media.

Happy making!
