Magnolia Mother of Pearl Card
Magnolia Mother of Pearl Card
Sometimes it’s hard to know what to do with a new product. Searching the web and then coming up short…I did this with the Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper. After searching, I decided to go back to one of my favorite cards made with basic white cardstock and blending brushes.
Other ways I have found for using this paper, as a background, whether that is using die cuts or as a filler – circle, Square, Rainbow! You can also stamp on it but use your Stazon ink and heat set. Let it sit for a few minutes afterward.
Here is my card and tutorial…ENJOY!
Supplies:
Cardstock:
Highland Heather c/s – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
A scrap of Gorgeous Grape
Gorgeous Grape – 4” x 5 ¼”
Basic White – 3 ¾” x 5”
Stamp set:
Timeless Tulips
Tulip Fields
Ink:
Gorgeous Grape
Coastal Cabana
Versa Mark
Accessories:
Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper 4” x 5 ¼”
Blending Brushes
Pastel Pearls
Take your Pick Tool
Magnolia Embossing Folder
Meadow Dies
Dimensionals
White embossing powder
Heat gun
Mono Liquid glue
Let’s get started:
· Take our Highland Heather base and fold it in half
· Put your Mother of Pearl in the Magnolia Embossing Folder and run it through the Stampin Cut and Embossing machine
· Ink the Blending brushes, stamp off or rub some of the ink off before using the Gorgeous Grape on the flower and the Coastal Cabana on the leaves and around the flower. You will have to heat set the ink.
· Adhere to the Highland Heather card base. I used mono liquid glue
· On a scrap of Gorgeous Grape, stamp the sentiment in Versa Mark and add White Embossing powder on top. Tap off the extra powder and heat set it
· Take the Meadow Dies and put it around the sentiment. Run it through the Stampin Cut and Embossing machine
· Add 3 Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and place it in the middle of the card
· Add three Pastel Pearls to the card…I used the dark purple pearls
· On the inside of the card, add the Gorgeous Grape to Highland Heather. Stamp the border flowers in Coastal Cabana at the bottom of the card. Adhere it to the Gorgeous Grape c/s.
· Emboss the flap of the envelope with the Magnolia Embossing Folder. Without reinking, your blending brushes, use the ink from them to color the Magnolia flower
The Mother of Pearl and the Magnolia Embossing Folder is retiring. Don't wait, contact me to place an order or go to my online store and order these supplies ASAP!

New Horizon Card
New Horizon Card
I love the New Horizon Suite of products (157782) found on pages 42 and 43 of the new January – June mini catalog! I was hooked by the Horizon dies (157778), especially the fence dies. But the real clincher is the New Horizons 6” x 6” designer series papers (157768)! They make a perfect background for any scene and can create a stunning card just by themselves. This card uses several of the products from this suite.
