The card I am sharing today, I am letting the Designer Series Paper do all the work.  It makes for a beautiful card.  The Designer Series Paper is a Sale-A-Bration item and is free with a qualifying order.  I created a card like this design probably 12-13 years ago, long before blogging became popular. I was looking through Pinterest and come upon this card from Terri Gaines.  She has a video of creating it. You can click on her name and see all the instructions for creating it.  It is called a Twisted Ribbon. It has been too many years to remember where I first saw it.

I am entering the Can You Handle The Pressure? Challenge. Their theme is always Embossing Dry or Heat your choice.

This is not the kind of card you like to make, but sometimes they are necessary.  I needed two on the same day.  I started with an Evening Evergreen card stock card base.  I embossed a panel of the same kind of card stock using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A 2″ x 5-1/2″  piece of Basic White card stock is cut and scored at 1/2″ intervals.  This is where you adhere the strips of Designer Series Paper to create the ribbon. I used two different patterns of the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper.  Check out Terri Gaines’s video for the placement of the strips. 

Once you have finished creating the ribbon, mat the ribbon piece on Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen card stock then adhered over the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Flowers from a panel of Stampin’ Up! Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and popped over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A double bow is created using Crumb Cake twine from Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay stamp set is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cut, and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels are popped around the card front.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White card stock panel.  Flowers from Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper are fussy cut and adhered to the lower corner of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!
