Cloud Cover Card Idea

| 18 Comments

Recently, my friend Melanie mentioned how much she uses Cloud Cover… and I thought … hmmm, I rarely use it.. so I grabbed it and these 3 patterns from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery paper pack to create 4 gorgeous cards!

Cloud Cover Card idea. A hand holds a light blue greeting card decorated with a floral sketch background, a blue ribbon tied in a bow, a layered paper flower, and a tag that reads "Just a Note." Similar cards are visible on a marble surface in the background. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Cloud Cover Card Details:

  • Card Base: Cloud Cover cardstock 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored and folded in 1/2 at 5-1/2″
  • Basic Beige mat layer: 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
  • Floral layer: Beautiful Gallery DSP 3″ x 4-1/4″
  • Blue strip: Beautiful Gallery DSP 1-1/4″ x 3″
  • Flower: fussy cut from Beautiful Gallery paper
  • Cloud Cover 5/8″ ribbon
  • Cloud Cover 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls
  • Night of Navy Ink for greeting (from Fragrant Layers stamp set)
A handmade greeting card in light blue is open, revealing a blank cream panel bordered by floral-patterned paper. An arrow points to the inside with the text, “THE INSIDE IS IMPORTANT, TOO!” Two similar closed cards and a ribbon are also visible in the background. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Don’t forget to gussy up the inside! I cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Beautiful Gallery paper, then added a 3″ x 4-1/4″ Basic Beige panel to match the front.

You can use this design and dimensions with any designer paper and colors.

A crafting workspace displays handmade "Just a Note" cards. The cards feature floral line art, blue textured paper strips, 3D white flowers, and ribbon. Adhesive gems, a stencil, and paper scraps are nearby. The watermark reads "Patty Bennett pattystamps.com. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Easy Ink Blending Background Slimline Card

| 6 Comments
Ink blending background with Blending Brushes. A hand holds a floral greeting card with pink, orange, and yellow flowers and the message “If friends were flowers I’d pick you.” The card is on a pink envelope, surrounded by pastel markers, blending brushes, and decorative gems on a grid mat. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I was in an ink blending mood after creating the slimline cards last week, so I decided to use one of the ink blended backgrounds and just stamp the Fragrant Layers flower image in Memento Black ink onto the background, and lightly shade it with some Stampin’ Blends markers. I think it turned out so pretty!

Card Base Dimensions & Tip

You may have noticed me using the Irresistible Designs 12×12 paper for my mini slimline card bases.. it’s so perfect because it’s easily cut into fourths, then scored and folded in half to make a 3×6 mini slimline! (I used THESE adorable envelopes).

  • Card base: Irresistible Designs 6×6, scored and folded in 1/2 at 3″
  • Basic White Layer (for ink blending & stamping): 2-3/4″ x 5-3/4″
A handmade card features colorful, hand-stamped and watercolored flowers, with a round sentiment reading, "If friends were flowers I'd pick you." Above, an arrow points to a white floral-embossed paper. Blending brushes and pastel markers are shown nearby. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Stampin’ Up! Color Combo

Here is the list of gorgeous colors I used.. for both the ink blending and the Stampin’ Blends marker coloring.

A handmade floral card with pink, orange, and yellow flowers and green leaves on a pink ink-blended background. The card reads “If friends were flowers, I’d pick you.” A pink envelope is behind the card. Patty’s Color Combo swatches and labels appear above. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
