I love Stampin’ Up!’s Parisian Dies! I used them to make this Eiffel Tower Thank You Card.
I had the great good fortune to be able to travel to France last June, so had the opportunity to see the tower in person. We only had a few hours, so I ended up choosing to wander around (okay, actually walk purposefully since our time was limited LOL) Paris and see as much as possible, rather than climb the stairs of the Tower. Maybe my next trip to Paris?!!
There’s actually NO stamping involved in this card! It’s just ink and die cuts. I chose Gold Foil Sheets for the die cut tower and word (don’t lose the dot for the “i” when you’re doing this one), and then just sponged inked onto a strip of cardstock. You can choose whatever colours you like -so you could mass produce this card but have a number of different “looks”! If you are subscribed to the YamStamps Newsletter, you should have received a tutorial video showing a similar card and technique when you signed up.
We can’t travel right now, but we can still at least make cards and scrapbook pages that celebrate it – like this Eiffel Tower Thank You Card. My staycation is over so I don’t have quite as much time to spend in my craft room, but I’ll be trying to make a point of doing so because it’s a great break from the craziness of everyday life right now. I hope to get onto another Facebook Live in the next while, so be sure to like and follow the YamStamps Page to be notified when it happens! In the meantime, I hope that you are staying healthy and finding the chance to be creative.
