The Simply Elegant Paper by Stampin’ Up! is absolutely gorgeous! It makes a stunning focal point on any card plus it’s so easy to make this elegant card in minutes. Let me show you how!
It’s so easy to create simply gorgeous projects with the intricately detailed patterns in the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper.
This high-quality printed paper is excellent scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more. These beautiful designs are perfect for weddings, masculine projects, and is extremely versatile.
You’ll get 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ patterned paper, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. The paper is acid and lignin free so it’s perfect for scrapbooking.
The colors included in this paper are Basic Black, Basic Gray, and Very Vanilla, with copper, gold and silver foiling. Simply Elegant!
To take full advantage of this paper, I went with a simple card sketch and used cardstock colors that I felt went well with the foiling:
- Cinnamon Cider for Copper
- Smoky Slate for Silver
- Soft Suede for Gold
Here’s how I made this card:
