ScrapHappy: Stone Paper Card

I made a card for this month’s ScrapHappy post (shocking, right?) using a scrap of white paper, inked to a lovely shade of blue, and a salvaged piece of Stone Paper®. Yup, Stone Paper is a thing.

Last fall, my friend Barbara sent us a care package from Spoonful of Comfort, a delicious, soup-based meal. The soup arrived with a reusable cover made from Stone Paper. We devoured the soup, and I saved the cover for a future card.

I’ve crafted with Stone Paper before. The paper is soft to the touch, easy to cut, strong, and sustainable.

Barbara loves birdwatching, and as it often happens, the disparate pieces clicked. I made her a card by die cutting the “soup bonnet” from her gift and adding three wild bird postage stamps from my stash.

I added texture to the blue background using a spatter-patterned embossing folder, then used a glitter pen to create the illusion of raindrops on a window.

  4. Quite apart from the beauty and outstanding Scrappiness of the card, you sent me down an absolute rabbit-hole of curiosity about the Stone Paper product, the how, the why, the where and the who! Thank you for that, it was a lot of fun!

    • Thank you, Sara. It’s pretty amazing stuff. The first time I encountered it, the paper was wrapped around a bunch of supermarket flowers. I used it to cover three clay pots. It lasted for years before eventually fading, but it stayed strong.

  9. Just wonderful, Alys! I’m savoring every design choice you made. Using the patterned paper to die cut the foliage added such lovely texture. Your bird postage stamps are so pretty. What a great embossing folder! Thank you for introducing me to Stone Paper. You definitely made me “scrap happy” today! Warmest hugs, dear friend! 😊🩷
