Sunshine or shade?

You can have BOTH! Your favorite New at SU! crafting crew from around the world are here to show you how to use Stampin’ Up!®️ TWO-TONE card stock! Learn paper crafting techniques that will help your creativity be as cool as you are this summer.

The first thing you need to know is that our Two-Tone Cardstock has a dark and a light side (duh…it’s in the name!) and a WHITE core between them. Some of the other projects will show off that white core, but I’m here to show how the two variations can give you DEPTH with your die cuts.

By using both sides of the paper (dark and light), you can create a shadow of the same color, making a dimensional die cut like this sun visor from the Splash & Relax bundle. I’ve also used our new wonderful White Gel Pens to give a few little details, and I had to use my favorite packing tape hack to make the sunglasses reflect the light:

The trick for that is to adhere a piece of packing tape to your card stock *before* you cut the base of the sunglasses. Apply an adhesive sheet behind the yellow card stock and slip the lens die cuts *inside* the sunglass die to cut out the frame. Then you can peel off the adhesive sheet and adhere the frame over the shiny outline of the sunglasses.

Two-step along to the other Two-Tone Summer projects, but before you go, I’d love for you to leave me a comment!
