Greetings! Chris here and today I am sharing this Quick and Easy Stamperia Princess Card.
I just love the sentiment for this card... Beauty Lives with Kindness! The sentiment makes this card a perfect thank you for that special someone who offered you an act of kindness!
First, trim your coordinating card stock to 4 3/4 x 6 3/4. I chose these prints and this pinkish solid color, but feel free to choose another color combination if you’d like!
Next, cut this pretty floral piece from the Stamperia Paper pad to 4 1/2 x 6 1/2. You can then adhere it to your coordinating card stock. Now, adhere both to the center of your card base. Just look at how beautiful that paper is. Optional additional details can be: inking the edges, tearing or shredding the edges and even adding touches of glitter.
Cut the door image from your Stamperia papers and adhere to the lower left side of the card. (You could also cut the doors so that they open and tuck a little message inside if you desire)
Next, add this cute Chipboard lady from your Stamperia Chipboard collection to the lower right side of your Stamperia Princess Card. Touches of glitter dots would be an option for her dress here as well.
Finish your card by adding the Beauty Lives with Kindness chipboard sentiment greeting to the upper left part of the door image. I love the depth it creates, by adhering it layered off the card. You can use 3D sticky dots or foam.
I hope you enjoyed this Stamperia Princess Card and are inspired to try out this collection.
Be sure to play along with this month’s challenge for a chance to win a prize.
