Thank You In Copper
Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia and Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder
I love Copper. It’s always been my favorite metallic. There’s something about the color that suggests nature to me. So I thought it might be a good pairing with Magnolias. I sell all of my retired Stampin’ UP! products in Mom’s Attic here on my blog. And when someone adopts my goodies I include a thank you. So I decided to create some 3”x3” thank you cards to include in their package. I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out. So all I have to say is “Come and get me, Copper!”
Step by Step Tips:
- The easiest way to create 3x3 cards with no waste is to start with a 12”x12” piece of card stock. I used Very Vanilla card stock. I scored it at 3” and 9” and then cut it at 6”. Turn each of the 6”x12” pieces one quarter turn and cut at 3”, 6”, and 9” and you have 8 3”x3” scored mini cards with no waste!
- Cut 8 2 3/4”x2 3/4” pieces of Very Vanilla Card Stock. Wipe the card with your Embossing Buddy to prevent unwanted stray embossing powder.
- I positioned both the image and sentiment stamps on one acrylic blocks so the stamping would go quicker, and inked them with VersaMark ink. Dust the image with embossing powder and heat emboss.
- I used a piece of retired Copper Washi Tape on the left. But you can also use the 1/4” Copper Trim.
- I matted the card face on a 2 7/8” x 2 7/8” piece of Copper Foil and mounted it on the card base. Simple!

A Southern Living Christmas
Good Morning Magnolia and Wrapped In Plaid
Good Morning Magnolia has turned out to be a very popular stamp set. Just check out Pinterest and you’ll find page after page of projects using this gorgeous set - birthday cards, get well cards, wedding cards, thank you cards. But when I look at the Good Morning Magnolia Bundle, I see Christmas. The magazine Southern Living’s November and December issues are full of beautiful projects using the leaves and blossoms of this stately tree. And when a saw the Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper in the new Holiday Catalog, I knew I had a Christmas card - or two - using both of these classy products in my future.
Let’s talk about the beautiful patterns and colors in the Wrapped In Plaid DSP. Shaded Spruce, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Whisper White make up the color palette that is so traditionally used in Christmas decor. Add in a touch of gold and a big magnolia blossom and you have a traditional Southern Christmas.
This DSP is amazing. The pictures you'll see online don’t come close to doing it justice. One side of each of the 6”x6” Sheets has a thread of bright gold running through it. And the other side is a subdued pattern. They’re just the ticket for a series of glorious Holiday cards.
Step by Step Tips:
I stamped the magnolia image on Very Vanilla Card Stock using VersaMark ink and gold embossing powder. Although the DSP uses Whisper White in the patterns, this particular pattern had no neutral color in it. So Very Vanilla worked beautifully.
- The leaves were colored in using the Gold Glitz ink and a Blender Pen. The contrast between this ink and and gold embossing is gorgeous, but I couldn’t capture it in a pic.
- I always hate to use a full 4”x5.25” piece of gold foil paper as a mat. All that wasted foil under the DSP. So I cut out a frame using the Stitched Rectangles. The center will be used for another project.
- The image was popped up on the card face using Dimensionals and the gold foil leaves were tucked behind the image using Multipurpose White Glue. Simple!
