Prism Paper Surprise
This will be an Oldies but Goodies post today — which I did not plan on doing, but I have a little story to tell which involves this card, so here we go –
We all love surprises now, don’t we? Well, I got an email from a good SCS friend yesterday, congratulating me on my card on the first page of the current issue of CardMaker (May 2008). Well, that was certainly a surprise as I didn’t think I had submitted any cards to that magazine. So, the investigation begins — LOL!!! I still haven’t seen the magazine, only a scan of it, but yes, my card is definitely there, page 1 on the inside cover, as big as life, the only card on the page. Come to find out it is an ad for Prism Paper — gee, I felt totally honored!!! And they staged it all so nice — a great photo!!! That was a card I made about a year ago using all Prismatics Papers and SU’s Doodle This set. Prism actually had my card as I sent it to them, thanking them for their gorgeous line of paper. Little did I know it would surface a year later in a magazine ad! I am honored that they liked it enough to use it!!! THANK YOU PRISM!!! And the moral of this story — once you mail out a card, you NEVER know where it’s going to end up — LOL!!!!
Here’s my SCS upload of that card — which surely looks like a sorry photo compared to the one Prism took, but here it is:
All the details on this card can be seen on my SCS upload.
And just a brief word about the Prism paper — the paper I have is 12 x 12 Prismatics. It is smooth on one side and textured on the other — look closely at my photo above and you can see the texture (both in the card and in the paper used as a backdrop). I LOVE that texture — I’ve used it often and especially love it when doing 3-D items like purses, totes, bags, etc. I has such a nice leathery appearance when used in that fashion, especially with a little bit of sponging — it looks so leather-like — love it!!! I also really love their line of colors — especially the soft pastel shades they have — they are just so soft and luscious. I can ALWAYS find just the right shade in my Prismatics drawer. I also love the rich, deep browns they have — just some of my favorites — but they have just a ton of colors, so there is something to please everyone!!! Here’s the link to Prism Papers if you’d like to check them out yourself. Now I believe their site is a wholesale site and you may have to do a Google Search to find a retailer for the Prism Papers.
That’s it for now — I’m still struggling to keep my head above water in my stamp room cleaning project. The new counter/cabinet is installed, I got the painting done that I needed to — now just to deal with the mess — slow and steady, wins the race — or so they say — LOL!!! Thanks much for stopping in!!! Hope you all have a great week!!!
