This Two Tone Cardstock Torn Strips Card is so easy to make and shows another way you can use the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Cardstock! Today is the LAST DAY for the 20% off sale on all two-tone cardstock! You can choose some or all of your favorite colors to try out, or I suggest, buying one or more of the assorted packs. That way you get two sheets of each of six colors! These are 12″ x 12″ sheets so you will have lots of cardstock for cards and other projects and certainly perfect for scrapbooking.
Each piece of cardstock has a smooth texture for stamping and a white core that works great for techniques like tearing, sanding, crumpling, embossing, etc. This cardstock is two-sided with shades of the same color on each side.
106 Color Variations. This two-tone cardstock offers 53 lighter and darker Stampin’ Up! colors on double-sided sheets. It’s available in single or mixed-color packs for harmonious colorful or monochromatic projects.
A Crafting Necessity. Two-tone cardstock has so much to offer! It’s an ideal layering option without adding bulk and its white core means you can tear, crumple, sand, and emboss your way to fun effects whatever your crafting skill level. Its smooth texture is great for stamping, clean cuts, crisp folds, and seamless color applications. And because it’s 12″ x 12″, you can use it as a scrapbook base, or you can cut it to use as part of your card-making projects.
This is how you make this card. I used “regular” Daffodil Delight cardstock for the card base. For the two strips on the side, I cut 1″ x 5 1/2″ strips from the Two-Tone cardstock I already had, one Granny Apple Green and one Poppy Parade. If you tear any cardstock TOWARD yourself, you will get that ragged edge. We used to do that a lot during my early days of stamping! When you tear this Two-Tone cardstock like this, it reveals the white core of the paper which just adds a little interest! If you use this paper but don’t want the white showing, just sponge a little ink on along the edge, which is interesting in itself.
For the focal point of the card, I used a new product I had. I die cut a circle with the Spotlight on Nature Dies in Basic White. Then I used a pear, strawberry, and foliage from the Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. You’ll find this new product on page 25 in the Annual Catalog. It looks like our other ephemera packs, but I noticed it was thicker. They are actually stickers! Just peel off the paper on the back if you want to use them as stickers or leave it on and perhaps use Dimensionals or other adhesive depending on your project. I used mine as stickers on this diecut circle base but then popped up the circle on Stampin’ Dimensionals. For a simple greeting, I just stamped directly in the corner of the card using a stamp from the Memorable Blooms Stamp Set.
These are the assortments of Two-Tone cardstock:
Check your stash because maybe you purchased one of the scrapbooking workshop kits that Stampin’ Up! offered last year when this two-tone cardstock first came out. You may already have some sheets of this fun paper!
