One of the stunning selections from the Night & Day Designer Series Paper isn’t paper at all! In addition to the beautiful patterns in this collection, there are two Polka Dot printed window sheets. Paired with the Baroque Motifs set, the result is an elegant card that is delightfully quick to create!
- Create a 5-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card base from textured Basic Black card stock. Layer with Whisper White.
- Ink the “Flourish” image from Baroque Motifs with Jet Black StazOn and stamp onto the Whisper White layer. Attach the Polka Dot Window Sheet with two Red Circle Fire Brads.
- Ink the “Baroque Square” image from Baroque Motifs with Jet Black StazOn and stamp onto another piece of Whisper White. Snip out using Paper Snips. Add a Red Circle Fire Brad to the middle, and pop on top of the Flourish image with a Stampin’ Dimensional. (You will be placing this on top of the Window Sheet.)
- Add a snippet of Real Red 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon.
- Ink the “FYI” image from FYI with Jet Black StazOn and stamp onto a second piece of Whisper White card stock and mat onto Basic Black. Adhere on top of the ribbon.
- Ink the “You are Awesome” image from FYI with Real Red and stamp onto Whisper White. Mat onto Basic Black followed by Whisper White and adhere to the ribbon as illustrated in the photograph.
Wasn’t that quick and easy! And in case you are wondering who is awesome, it is my son. Brady, a sophomore trumpet performance major at Western Illinois University’s School of Music, was named First Chair in the Symphonic Wind Ensemble and lead trumpet in the Jazz Band. Brady is also a member of the WIU Orchestra, which will be accompanying the classic rock band “Kansas” when the group performs at Western in December. “Carry on, my wayward son!”
And do you know who else is awesome? My fellow design team members at Pals Paper Arts, that’s who! In case you haven’t joined in the fun, this week we are challenging you to a color challenge: Ruby Red, Crushed Curry, and Brocade Blue. You have until Noon (CST) Tuesday to upload your project, and then Mr. Linky closes! Who knows…you could be one of the next three “Pals Paper Arts Artist Picks” !

An awesome and elegant card and I love Black, White and Red.
Wow! I have this set and it is definitely one of my new favs. This is an amazing monochromatic look that is edgy and elegant. I like the idea of less color and more design, like I see in this card.
FYI — this card rocks!!!
Gorgeous!
Ann, FYI… YOU are awesome 🙂
This card is awesome Ann! Beautiful job!
Beautiful! Nothing more elegant than black and white. I’ve always worn a lot of that combination.
So pretty and elegant!
There are window sheets in there?? I’m going to open my package right now! (It’s been just waiting for a little lovin’!)
Beautiful card, Ann – LOVE it!
I love this card! The Baroque stamp are the best. Hope you don’t mind my casing it for my club to see. (Giving you full credit of course.) I just got this pack of papers with the window sheets yesterday and am excited to try using them. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. Good luck with the new school year.
The crisp black and white is perfect for the FYI set. Another classy and creative card! Hugs, M
