Trio of Card Ideas with Ephemera pieces

| 1 Comment
Trio of card ideas with ephemera from Stampin' Up! handmade greeting cards with teal patterned backgrounds, black borders, and various embellishments such as flowers, branches, and ribbons. Sentiments include "Hello there," "Thank you," and "for you." Text reads: "Trio of cards with Ephemera from Stampin’ Up!. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

You may remember my previous Damask Designs cards (posted here). After I finished those cards I had a few extra damask backgrounds featuring the Stampin’ Up! Lost Lagoon Two Tone paper, so I started created with the new Good Times Ephemera pack.

I created this trio of card ideas with Ephemera Pieces to show you a variety of card possibilities for many occasions!

A handmade card with "Thank You" text, black ribbon, and silver leaf embellishments sits on a craft mat. Surrounding it are gold gem stickers, a floral tag, and colorful ephemera featuring a bike, butterfly, and flowers. The text reads “Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera.”. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Did you know…

These new ephemera pieces are stickers!? Yep!! They are!! You can leave the backing on if you prefer to punch them out first or use them with dimensionals, or, simply peel off the backing and use them as stickers on your handmade papercrafting projects!

Hand holding a handmade thank you card with an embossed teal background, a white tag with "Thank You" in black script, black ribbon, metallic leaf embellishments, and two gold gems at the bottom. Another similar card is in the background. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Having this intricate branch die cut be a sticker was so helpful!! No fussing with glue!

2 Crafting Tips:

  1. Need a color of linen thread or twine you don’t have? Color it with a Stampin’ Blend marker! I used Secret Sea. Find this and all other Stampin’ Up! supplies in my online store – product photo links are at the bottom of this post.
Two handmade greeting cards with blue-green patterned backgrounds, black borders, and “hello there” tags tied with black twine are displayed on a grid mat—perfect for Stampin' Up card making fans. Text suggests coloring thread with the pattystamps marker. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

2. Don’t forget that little extra special touch inside your card (especially a darker colored card base). I partially embossed my Basic White cardstock panel with the Damask Designs embossing folder!

A hand holds an embossed greeting card with a blue-green textured front, a bird and flower cutout, black twine bow, and “hello there” text. The card’s inside corner shows white embossed detail.

Fully Flowering Ephemera rose

I colored the black and white rose image from the Fully Flowering Ephemera pack with my Stampin’ Blends markers. I got the color combo idea from my Color Coach!
