Path to Greatness is Simply Elegant – Stampin’ Up

June 8, 2021 2 Comments

When I first saw this stamp set I thought elegant, education, sophisticated and then…. what the heck am I going to create with it?  Then I saw the Simply Elegant paper and knew these two would tie together for a fantastic elegant card.  I thought this Path to Greatness is Simply Elegant for a male or female.    Notice I used the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and tied a knot, not a bow.  This allows the card to stay elegant for a male or female I think.

I like the look of stamping the image on top of a more solid looking DSP.

Measurements

Basic Black

Front Panel – 3 3/8″ x 4 5/8
Back Front Panel – 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
Inside 4″ x 5 1/4″
Scratch piece to back sentiment

DSP

Front Panel (reverse side of DSP) 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and use cut off strip for inside
Back Front Panel – 4″ x 5 1/4″

Vanilla

Inside – 3 3/4″ x 5″
scratch piece for sentiment

We are going to wing it and put a 2nd card together using the brick image from this stamp set.  Watch the video (link below) and see what we come up with.

    I watch a lot of your videos on YouTube, and have learned a lot as a new demonstrator. One day I was watching and you announced a paper share coming out with the new catalog. That was the first I had heard of a paper share and I joined. Now I have my sampling of papers. I really enjoyed your YT video on gorgeous sunflower with watercolor background. Thanks for inspiring me.
