The theme for this month’s IRBH is Vacation. When I was trying to decide what to use for my project, I looked through all the great stamp sets I have. I could’ve made something about the beach, or any number of places like that. But when I thought about what I’ve really loved about my favorite vacations, I realized I love being someplace peaceful and quiet, with no everyday noise, where I can just relax and think. Then I came across the Peaceful Place stamp set and I knew that was it. I wanted to make a card that was peaceful and quiet and gentle, like a whisper. So I used Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White, two of the softest colors in the Stampin’ Up! line up. I hope you like what I’ve come up with.

  • Soft Sea Foam CS layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base

Stamped with the Peaceful Place stamp set:

  • image with river and trees in Soft Sea Foam ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
  • 2 leaves in Soft Sea Foam ink onto the Whisper White CS for the inside of the card base

Cut using the Heirloom Frames Dies:

  • rectangular frame from a scrap of Soft Sea Foam CS

Embossed using the Heirloom Frames Embossing Folders:

  • the die cut frame

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
  • Soft Sea Foam CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • stamped Whisper White CS layer, cut to fit behind the frame, glued onto the Soft Sea Foam CS layer
  • frame adhered over the stamped layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
