Dressed to Impress for PP528

Happy Sunday! 

Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players! 

This week, the lovely Jaydee is hosting our monthly Color Challenge.

Since today is Valentine’s Day, this would be a fun color combo to get some last minute cards created. That was initially where my mind went when I saw the colors for the week. To be honest, I’m all “valentined” (is that a word?) out right now. No more hearts for this girl for a little while anyway! 

While looking through my stamp sets to get creating for this challenge I stopped upon the Dressed to Impress set. I always love a black and white card with a bold pop of color and that sassy sentiment and lipstick image were a perfect fit!  

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.

The True Love Designer Series Paper in the January-June Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog has quickly become a favorite of mine. All of the patterns are black and white which I think is a "crafting necessity". You can use the patterns as is, or color them in…the choice is yours! 

No red ribbon? No Problem! I had to get a pop of silver on my card and didn’t think the rhinestones were quite enough. So, I pulled out one of my favorite ribbons. The Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon is white but with Stampin’ Blends markers, it can instantly transform into ANY color you’d like it to be. Talk about versatility, right? I always have extra of this ribbon in my stamp studio for this reason. Tip: Always make sure to protect your work surface with some scrap paper when coloring and give the ribbon time to dry. 

Card Measurements and Details:

• Real Red Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” 
• Basic Black Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4” 
• Basic White Cardstock: 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”, embossed with Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder

• Rhinestones
• Basic White Cardstock (inside card): 4” x 5-1/4”, stamp sentiment in Momento ink and dots in Real Red ink
• True Love Designer Series Paper (inside card): 3/4” x 5-1/4” 

Finally a peek inside the card! I simply added another strip of DSP and stamped some fun polka dots and a coordinating sentiment. Such a fun card to send a little note of encouragement to a friend!
