What do you think of the new Stampin’ Up! Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosaic Madness Stamp Set?
I am excited about both of these new products, which I have featured on my card share today. Three paper designs from the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper (130141) and one stamp from the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set (130249) were used on the card. Also featured is the new Stampin’ Up! Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder (129984).
The colors of the designs from the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosaic Madness Stamp Set stamp images on the card are Stampin’ Up!’s Pool Party, Island Indigo, Strawberry Slush (doesn’t that name sound yummy?), and Whisper White. The Strawberry Slush is a new “In-Color”.
I embossed the piece of Whisper White Card Stock with the new Stampin’ Up! Mosaic Madness Embossing Folder. To add color to the raised parts of the embossing, I did something different from what you will read on other websites, etc. After embossing the paper, I used a Pool Party Classic Ink Pad (the old type of pad) and gently swiped the raised embossed sections until I got the desired effect. I tried this with a new foam pad and it didn’t work at all as it was too soft (because of the foam) and inky.
After allowing the ink to dry, I stamped an image from the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set over three of the mosaic patterns. Inside these images I stamped the words “Love You” and wrote the word “I”. The “love you” words are from the Stampin’ Up! Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set (120501). 
Now let’s move on to the card’s left side and the ribbon covering the top layer of the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper. Wait, is that “ribbon”? Hummm – well, actually it is many threads that I unraveled from a piece of Island Indigo ribbon. Yes, it’s time consuming, but I enjoy the look of the shinny threads. The bow was made also with the threads.
What are your thoughts about the threads and bow?
The following is a closeup of the card’s right side, which I explained above. 
However, I didn’t mention above that I pierced the top and bottom corners of the embossed Whisper White piece of card stock. I also added two Island Indigo patterned brads, which have retired. 🙁 I have so many retired Stampin’ Up! brads; therefore, I choose to use them whenever I can.
TIP: OK, so we know that the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosaic Madness Stamp Set coordinate with the Mosaic Punch. But did you know that some designs in the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309)? 
Look closely at the designs and you’ll see what I mean!
I wanted to give you a closeup of the bow. Now trying to tie multiple threads together was a tough task, but I managed.
I hope you enjoyed the card!
God’s Blessings!
