Addicted To Gingham

October 13, 2019 2 Comments

It was only as I sat down to write today’s blog post that I realised my chosen Simple Sunday project featured gingham. I had exactly the same gingham pattern on yesterday’s project and there’s other ginghams on my desk! I may be addicted, but it could be worse, right?

Simple card with gingham paper and "Every little kindness makes the world brighter" sentiment from the Waterfront Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #simplestamping #papercraftwithme

GINGHAM PATTERNED PAPER

As you’ve probably guessed, I began my project with gingham paper (this one is from the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack).

First I cut a 2″ strip of the DSP and used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) to fix it to a layer of Whisper White Card. Now I could see how much space was left, I stamped the sentiment from the Waterfront Stamp Set using Pretty Peacock ink.

Next I cut a 3/4″ strip of DSP and glued that down the right edge of another layer of Whisper White Card.

Then I took one final piece of the gingham paper and attached it to the flap of a Whisper White Medium Envelope. Finally I cut the paper to shape with Paper Snips using the edge of the flap as a guide.

SIMPLE ASSEMBLY

With everything prepared, putting this simple card together was, well, simple.

I created a card base from Pretty Peacock Card and glued the piece with the sentiment onto the front. Then I glued the other white layer on the inside. Finally I wrapped some Whisper White Baker’s Twine around the front of the card and tied it in a simple bow.

There are lots of ways that I could take this simple design and step it up. First I could mount the DSP on the front onto a layer of coloured card or foil before adding to the white layer. I could attach the card layers with Stampin’ Dimensionals instead of liquid glue. I could even emboss the sentiment rather than stamping it with coloured ink. That’s what I love about simple projects, they’re quick and easy but also a jumping off point for anyone looking to develop their card making skills. What do you think?

    Yes, Tracy, it could be worse … you could be addicted to gingham & dot! That’s my plight! I am sooo glad that SU has placed the emphasis they do on ginghams however; the Buffalo Check background stamp is an all-time favourite, and I love the DSPs … and this card and envelope flap are just perfect in my books. I think we’re safe though … haven’t heard word of any 12 step programs for this one! Lol Happy Thanksgiving!
