All Wrapped Up -

This Week’s Card – All Wrapped Up!

This week’s card brings together three beautiful products from the new catalogue—the All Wrapped Up Specialty Designer Series Paper, Elegantly Wrapped Bundle and Wrapped Greenery Bundle, these 3 items are part of the All Wrapped Up Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!®.

And I have to say, the All Wrapped Up Specialty Designer Series Paper is absolutely stunning! The vintage-inspired designs, beautiful colours and silver foil accents make it a real standout.

One thing I particularly love about this Designer Series Paper is that it is single-sided and considerably thicker than our regular Designer Series Paper. This makes it especially versatile—not only for cards and scrapbook pages, but also for decorated boxes, gift packaging and other projects where you want a little more structure.

The Bow is the Star!

The focal point of this card is the beautiful die-cut bow from the Elegantly Wrapped Dies. But this isn’t just an ordinary die cut!

The bow was created using the Impressions Plate, which is designed to work with specially created Impressions Dies. These dies can both cut shapes and add beautiful embossed details, giving your projects an extra layer of texture and dimension.

For the best cutting and embossing results, use the Impressions Plate with the Impressions Dies in your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

My Tip for Using the Impressions Plate

I have found that giving your cardstock a very light spritz of water before running it through the machine helps achieve a lovely embossed effect.

Cut the bow pieces as you would normally do except I like to run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine twice using the normal plate sandwich. This helps keep the cardstock securely inside the die.

Then it’s time to change the sandwich for the embossing step:

Start with Plates 1 & 2.
Place your cardstock and die upside down, keeping the cut cardstock inside the die.
Place the Impressions Plate on top.
Add Plate 4.
Run the sandwich through the Cut & Emboss Machine again.

The Impressions Plate will stretch as it passes through the machine. Don’t worry—this is completely normal and is part of how the plate works to create those beautiful embossed details.

The result is a beautifully detailed bow with both clean, precise edges and gorgeous embossed texture—making it the perfect focal point for this card.

Bringing It All Together

The Wrapped Greenery Bundle adds the perfect finishing touch, with its delicate leaves, sprigs and berries providing a natural contrast to the beautiful bow and vintage-inspired Designer Series Paper.

I love how these three products work together. The Designer Series Paper provides the beautiful background, the greenery adds texture and detail, and the embossed bow becomes the star of the card.

And while I’ve used these products for a Christmas card, I can already see so many other possibilities—especially with the beautiful greenery and the versatility of the Designer Series Paper.
