‘Tinis for Two ** Sneak Peek
Here’s a wee little peek at part of the upcoming Hanna Stamps set, “Anthony”! I challenged myself to come up with something simple, yet elegant for this card, and at last I’m ready to accept this one. LOL While I love the simple styles such as works by my DD, Jessica, it’s not my “easy” place. I will admit that with each of my 3 different layouts and attempts to get a “tini” card that I liked, each one became progressively simpler!
These appletinis were stamped on cryogen white shimmer cardstock from eclectic paperie. (I hope you can see the shimmer!) Tex’s Tip: When using punches for stamped images, always stamp ‘first’, then use the punch. You can easily center the image correctly in the upside-down punch! After a quick coloring, I used a toothpick to apply Diamond Glaze to the appletinis. Be sure to allow drying time when using Diamond Glaze or Crystal Effects. I prefer to leave them alone for a few hours when possible unless it’s just a tiny bit of liquid glaze. I used my trusty Scor-Pal to emboss the lines along all 4 sides of the card. Printing was arranged on my computer to print directly onto the shimmer cardstock. Pop up the images with foam tape, and that’s all there is to it! I hope you enjoy the idea! Tomorrow I’ll have another sneak peek of our newest Hanna Stamps releases!

I love this, Bev! I have a hard time with simple too. But you did a great job: enough….but not too much.
Simply beautiful! And thanks for the link to your DD’s site! Marvelous work over yonder!
I love this card and how striking it is, even if it is “simple”!
I love one layer cards and this one is great.
This is so super cute!! I can’t do one layer cards, or three layer cards for that matter, so I feel you pain!!
I agree . . . simple cards are so much more difficult for me to create as well. You really rocked this one though, girl. Very nice!! I am liking these sneak peeks by all of your Hanna DT girls 🙂 Kelly
This is fabulous! YOu nailed it, girlfriend!
I love it! Simple, clean perfect!
What time should I be there? Great card!
First, I love those martinis! I would have totally put the Crystal Effects if I had made it, too! The shimmer on the paper does show right under the ribbon knot. Oh, and the nice touch on there is the embossed lines. They really add that “touch of class” that I know you were going for. Great job.
I love it. Simple and elegant!
Tex,
You meet…..and exceeded your challenge. This is a beautiful example of simple elegance! I love the POP of green and red on the white background. Love the dry embossed border and black ribbon…..well…..I guess it means I LOVE it ALL!
Very cute card! Love the simplicity and elegance of it! Love the crystal effects on the glasses! Great card!!
Now, this one I love. You made Simple, Beautifully !! 🙂
This is totally cute Bev, I love it! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
