Cajun Blueberries?
Aloha, all!
I truly don't know if there are blueberries growing in Cajun Country. But I do know that Stampin' Up!'s Blueberry Crisp Designer Series Paper is a great set to coordinate with one of Stampin' Up!'s newest colors, Cajun Craze.
Yesterday I featured a 5" square card made with 2" squares of Blueberry Crisp paper. But, when you cut up those 2" squares, you're left with a bunch of scraps – and what a shame it would be just to throw them away!
So today I'm featuring a card using squares cut with the Stampin' Up! 1-1/4" Square Punch cut out of those scraps. Once I started fussing around with the colors and searching through my stash of embellishments, I decided that this would be a "Congratulations" card for a very special person. So I loaded it up with layers and buttons and ribbons, oh my! The buttons are from two of Stampin' Up!'s newest button collections, the Regals Collection (from which I chose a Cajun Craze and Night of Navy button) and the Neutrals Collection (that pretty little Very Vanilla flower button). I tied them up with a bit of crochet thread and then layered everything up with another sheet of Blueberry Crisp paper, and Cajun Craze, Night of Navy and Very Vanilla card stock. Before I used the Sizzix Square Lattice Texturz Folder on the Very Vanilla, I stamped "congratulations" from the stamp set, Curly Cute. It really is best to stamp BEFORE texturizing to get a nicely inked impression.
Here's the layout sketch for this card. The tutorial for making diagonal cuts for card fronts is here. Have fun!
