Clean and Simple Elegant Card / Stamping With Melva

Clean and Simple Elegant Card

Tuesday, 25 February 2025

It was fun creating a clean and simple elegant card based on a sketch. I used the Everyday You & Me stamp and the new Mini Corrugated embossing folder. So simple, but I love the clean and simple look!

Here's the sketch I used.

Here's what I created. Don't you love black and white cards!

Instructions

Cut Basic Black cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".
Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
Emboss the top 1 1/2" using the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder.
Turn 90 degrees and emboss the bottom 1 1/2" using the same Embossing Folder.
Cut 2 pieces of Basic Black cardstock 1/4" x 4"
Adhere on Basic White cardstock just below top embossing and just above bottom embossing.
